Efficiency Trading into Balance (Example: Consumer)
Imbalance Settlement Invoicing Negative and Crediting Positive Imbalances (Example: Consumer)
TURK-EL’s operational hours MWh/h hour contracted generation metered generation Case
TURK-EL’s settlement due to the metered values 400 MWh contracted MWh metered generation MWh BM contract MWh Imbalance ??? TURK-EL is invoiced for this imbalance: the Imbalance Volume multiplied with the Imbalance Price Case
Basic Theory of Output and Costs price < output dependent cost operational losses variable cost < price < minimum average cost covering output dependent costs and reducing output independent cost losses price > minimum average cost operational profit Minimum Price to be achieved short-term: P = output dependent cost Break-Even Point: P = minimum average cost 0 output dependent cost Cost (based on optimum output) / Price minimum average cost Theory
Hourly Contracts and their Impact on Strategies The hourly based bids Each hour requires a separate bid. This implies that the output dependent costs of a unit can be “in the price” during some hours and “out of the price” in others. Base load units should be bid at “0”-prices in those hours they are needed to be scheduled Mid load and peak load units should “take care” of eventual start and stop costs in their bid-price MCP & output dependent costs 24 hours Alternative 1 24 hours Alternative 2 24 hours (Theory) a not functioning market a functioning market base load units mid load units peak load units MCP & output dependent costs Case
