OPEN ACCESS IMPACTS
Power system restructuring fosters the development of competition in wholesale electricity markets
Markets bring about changes in the way power systems are operated and planned
The vertically integrated structure is slowly disintegrating into many new parts
New structures and players have important roles and result in decentralized decision making

CENTRALITY OF TRANSMISSION IN RESTRUCTURING
A common thread in the restructuring of electricity around the globe is the unbundling of transmission from the generation and the distribution of sectors
The role of transmission in evolving wholesale competition in electricity is critical
The provision of the nondiscriminatory transmission access and services to all market players under the open access transmission regime entails the establishment of independent transmission entities
8© 2005, George Gross, UIUC
PLANNING UNDER COMPETITION
Major shift in the planning paradigm
cessation of the centralized integrated
planning of the past
role of regional planning under the
independent grid operator
unclear responsibility for implementation
under the ownership/control separation
role of decentralized decision making
9© 2005, George Gross, UIUC
PLANNING UNDER COMPETITION
Planning, to the extent it is performed in the new
environment, is an asset management problem
investment under uncertainty
critical importance of effective risk
management
subject to regulations in a continuous state
of flux
10© 2005, George Gross, UIUC
TRANSMISSION USAGE UNDER COMPETITION
Frequent congestion situations result whenever
too many customers compete for transmission
services that the grid is capable of providing
Despite the more intense utilization of the grid by
the many established and new players, develop-
ments in transmission planning have failed to
keep pace with the increases in demand
11© 2005, George Gross, UIUC
THE SORRY STATE OF TRANSMISSION INVESTMENT
As demand increases, significant additions of
new generation are being made in virtually every
region The reserve margins in capacity are improving
year after year Transmission investments have failed to keep up
with the increases in demand and the additions
in new generation

SEVERE STRESSING OF THE GRID
Large number of new and existing players Proliferation in the number of transactions Increasing load demand Simultaneous accommodation of pool and
bilateral transactions Markedly different and more intense utilization
of the grid than in the way that it was planned and designed
Low level of investment in transmission improvement
19© 2005, George Gross, UIUC
SEVERE STRESSING OF THE GRID
Severe stressing of the grid leads to frequent
congestion situations with customers competing
for the scarce and heavily constrained transmis-
sion services
The transmission-bottleneck-caused congestion
situations significantly impact both the reliability
and the economics of electricity supply

CONGESTION IMPACTS
Decreased reliability
Reduced competition
Increased consumer prices
Creation of enhanced opportunities for market
power exercise
Increased infrastructure vulnerability
23© 2005, George Gross, UIUC
CONGESTION : ECONOMIC SIGNALS
LMPs provide short-term congestion signals
The translation of LMPs into long-term
investment signals is complicated
LMPs create the need for the effective
integration of financial hedging instruments:
FTRs and flowgate rights
24© 2005, George Gross, UIUC
TRANSMISSION EXPANSION
Network expansion is by its very nature a very
complex multi-period and multi-objective optimi-
zation problem
Its nonlinear nature and the inherent uncertainty
in future developments constitute major compli-
cations
25© 2005, George Gross, UIUC
TRANSMISSION INVESTMENT : KEY BARRIERS
Transmission is a regulated service: tariffs are
cost based and not value based
Uncertainty about the recovery of transmission
investments due to
long-term revenue stream needs
lack of clarity in regulatory pricing policy
26© 2005, George Gross, UIUC
TRANSMISSION INVESTMENT : KEY BARRIERS
conflicting goals of federal and state
regulators
Difficulty of recovering investment costs due to
free rider problem
Organizational complexities in the new industry
structure
27© 2005, George Gross, UIUC
COMPLICATIONS IN TRANSMISSION EXPANSION
Every transmission improvement impacts the
transfer capabilities in the interconnected
network covering a large geographic region Each transmission investment affects market
participants differently Free rider problem creates a problem in the
investment recovery Lumpiness of transmission investments is a key
complication
28© 2005, George Gross, UIUC
COMPLICATIONS IN TRANSMISSION EXPANSION
A long-time horizon with the sequence of
appropriate decisions needs to be considered
Economies of scale encourage overbuilding
Imperfect electrical markets provide
opportunities for market power exercise
29© 2005, George Gross, UIUC
COMPLICATIONS IN TRANSMISSION EXPANSION
Short-run marginal costing information from the
hourly LMPs need to be translated into long-run
marginal cost for investment decisions FTR/FGR integration into the investment
decision is needed The explicit consideration of wide ranges of
uncertainty in all aspects, including regulatory,
environmental and player behavior, is required

ANALYTIC FRAMEWORK
A four-layer structure consisting of physical commodity market financial investment
layers The interrelationships between layers represen-
ted through information flows
31© 2005, George Gross, UIUC
commodity market layer
financial market layer
investment layer
THE FRAMEWORK STRUCTURE
physical network layer
32© 2005, George Gross, UIUC
THE PHYSICAL LAYER
Represents the physical flows in the
transmission network including real power line
flows, nodal injections and physical
network/operational constraints
Models congestion and allows the evaluation of
congestion impacts on the transmission
customers/market participants
33© 2005, George Gross, UIUC
THE COMMODITY MARKET LAYER
Models the purchases/sales in both the day-
ahead hourly and the bilateral transaction
markets
Represents the RTO decision making process to
establish feasible transmission schedules
Interacts with the physical layer and the
financial layer through information transfers
34© 2005, George Gross, UIUC
THE FINANCIAL LAYER
Models the financial instruments used to
provide hedging against congestion changes
Models Financial Transmission Rights (FTR) and
flowgate rights
Represents the salient aspects of rights
issuance and trading
35© 2005, George Gross, UIUC
TRANSMISSION INVESTMENT LAYER
Models the transmission investment decision making process and determines the
location quantity timing
of the transmission assets Evaluates the impacts of the investment
decisions on the investor, system operator and the transmission customers and assesses their financial aspects

Best overall solution is scenario 3 with the lines

in the reference scenario and scenario 1
