Abstract

The commercial model for providing transmission service is rapidly evolving. In the future, rights to use scarce transmission resources will be self-allocated using economic information provided by market participants. Prerequisites for efficient self-management of ATC by the marketplace are a well-defined, simplified commercial model of the transmission grid and freely-tradable firm transmission rights. This paper describes modeling approximations which can reconcile commercial and operational needs, defines a model of firm transmission rights, and outlines a process for maximizing the commercial value of the transmission grid through decentralized self-management of transmission access.
