Abstract :
This paper describes a reduced model of the Alberta electric system developed to provide a platform for studying how variations in the market structure may impact system operation, electricity prices and long-term reliability of supply. As well, the model described in this paper provides a suitable platform for studying the potential impacts of large scale integration of wind generation on transmission congestion, reliability of supply, and electricity prices on the Alberta electric system.
