Abstract :
The main concern about market power in an electricity market is the concentration of ownership that would permit the exercise of market manipulation. The widespread potential for transmission congestion constraint is a crucial factor to improve the potential impacts of market power. This paper discusses the horizontal power market for the special case of the electrical power system. A methodology for the assessment of the impact of a given power transaction on the network capability is reported.
