Description: "A New Swing-Contract Design for Wholesale Power Markets," by Leigh Tesfatsion, proposes a linked swing-contract market design for centrally-managed wholesale power markets to facilitate increased reliance on renewable energy and demand-side participation. The proposed swing contracts are firm or option two-part pricing contracts permitting resources to offer the future availability of dispatchable power paths (reserve) with broad types of flexibility in their power attributes. The first three chapters cover: goals for wholesale power market design; history, operations, and conceptual concerns for current U.S. RTO/ISO-managed wholesale power markets; and related literature review. The next eight chapters cover: a general swing-contract formulation for centrally-managed wholesale power markets; illustrative swing-contract reserve offers; inclusion of reserve offers with price swing; inclusion of price-sensitive reserve bids; and extension to a linked collection of swing-contract markets. Operations in current U.S. RTO/ISO-managed markets are reviewed in the following four chapters, and conceptual and practical advantages of the linked swing-contract market design are carefully considered. The concluding four chapters consider how current markets might gradually transition to a swing-contract market design, and how swing contracts could be used to facilitate FERC Order 2222 (September 2020) calling for participation of grid-edge resource aggregators in wholesale power markets.
