This paper investigates large fluctuations of locational marginal prices (LMPs) in wholesale energy markets caused by volatile renewable generation profiles. Specifically, we study events of the form P ( LMP ∉ ∏ i = 1 n [ α i − , α i + ] ) , where LMP is the vector of LMPs at the n power grid nodes, and α − , α + ∈ R n are vectors of price thresholds specifying undesirable price occurrences. By exploiting the structure of the supply–demand matching mechanism in power grids, we look at LMPs as deterministic piecewise affine, possibly discontinuous functions of the stochastic input process, modelling uncontrollable renewable generation. We use techniques from large deviations theory to identify the most likely ways for extreme price spikes to happen, and to rank the nodes of the power grid in terms of their likelihood of experiencing a price spike. Our results are derived in the case of Gaussian fluctuations, and are validated numerically on the IEEE 14-bus test case. This article is part of the theme issue ‘The mathematics of energy systems’.

The use of a zonal structure for energy markets across the globe is expanding; however the debate on how to effectively partition the grid into bidding zones is still open for discussion. One of the factors that needs to be addressed in the process of bidding zones’ delimitation is the transmission system operators control areas. Merging parts of different control areas into one bidding zone can lead to multiple problems, ranging from political, through grid security concerns, to reserve control issues. To address it, this paper presents a novel grid partitioning method aimed at bidding zones delimitation that is based on clustering the power grid using an extended version of the standard agglomerative clustering. The proposed solution adds additional clustering rules when constructing the dendrogram in order to take into account the control areas. The algorithm is applied to the data which represents the locational marginal prices obtained from optimal power flow analysis.

An improved method is proposed based on compressed and Krylov-subspace iterative approaches to perform efficient static and transient simulations for large-scale power grid circuits. It is implemented with CG and BiCGStab algorithms and an excellent result has been obtained. Extensive experimental results on large-scale power grid circuits show that the present method is over 200 times faster than SPICE3 and around 10–20 times faster than ICCG method in transient simulations. Furthermore, the presented algorithm saves the memory usage over 95% of SPICE3 and 75% of ICCG method, respectively while the accuracy is not compromised.

In response to the climate change, it has been becoming the consensus of most countries in the world to accelerate the development of a high proportion of clean energy. The power grid is the core to support the development of a high proportion of clean energy, and the key is to accelerate the construction of clean power grids. This paper focuses on the main characteristics of clean power grid construction, and proposes a set of clean power grid development evaluation indicators including 5 first-level indicators and 19 second-level indicators and an analysis method based on radar charts. Taking China Power Grid as an example, this paper analyzes in detail the characteristics of the medium and long-term development mode of clean power grids and the relative change trends of specific indicators, and discusses the key links and potential problems that need attention in the development of clean power grids.
