Reliability at Stake: PJM's Reliability Pricing Model - Reliability - Reports and Papers - by Charles River Associations - CRA - PJM - Planning / IRPs / Capacity - 2008-05-05 - This paper has two primary goals. First, it discusses why capacity markets exist at all and what their role is in providing reliable, cost-effective power to consumers. Second, this paper examines whether the new Reliability Pricing Model (RPM) developed by PJM is performing reasonably. In particular, it rebuts many of the contentions made in a report recently issued by the American Public Power Association and authored by James F. Wilson of LECG, LLC, entitled “Raising the Stakes on Capacity Initiatives: PJM’s Reliability Pricing Model (RPM)”. http://www.EnergyCollection.us/Energy-Reliability/Reliability-At-Stake.pdf

Scarcity Pricing in PJM for Pennsylvania - 2011-01 - 92 pages - The Commission’s 2008 issuance of Order 719 and its direction to RTOs to file tariff changes in compliance with Order 719 that provides for “demand response and pricing during periods of operating reserve shortages” initiated a yearlong stakeholder process directed by PJM. The result of the stakeholder process was not successful in developing a scarcity pricing proposal that attracted broad support. Nevertheless, the effort was not wasted as it allowed many parties to develop a better understanding of the complexities of complying with the Commission’s directive and the risks and benefits of making yet another significant modification to PJM’s wholesale electricity market design. As this Protest and attached affidavit demonstrate, PJM’s filing constitutes one approach to the introduction of scarcity pricing, but a flawed and incomplete approach. Without significant modification as explained below, PJM’s filing may result in large and unjust wealth transfers from buyers of wholesale power to sellers of wholesale power, provide frequent opportunities for the exercise of unmitigated market power, undercut public support for the continued development of wholesale competition and produce excessive rates contrary to the Federal Power Act’s mandate that all rates be “just and reasonable” http://www.EnergyCollection.us/States/Pennsylvania/Scarcity-Pricing-PJM.pdf
Utility Integration Solutions - UISOL - PJM - Utility Integration Solutions, Inc. (UISOL), the utility industry business integration specialist, has delivered PJM Interconnection's (PJM) next- generation demand response management system. PJM's members began using the system in June. PJM implemented new technology to facilitate the continued, significant growth of demand response in the years ahead. Demand response involves consumers reducing their use of electricity in response to power grid needs or economic signals. They are paid for providing services equivalent to generators. PJM, operator of the world's largest power grid, ensures reliable operation of the high voltage power system that serves 51 million people across a 13 state region and the District of Columbia. PJM has worked with its stakeholders to expand demand-side resources and improve the operational efficiency of demand-side programs in its wholesale electricity markets. PJM sought a new, flexible demand response management system to allow participants to manage their demand resources in the market. PJM selected UISOL's DRBizNet as the foundation for a secure, standards-based system that could cost effectively adapt to meet future needs and market rule changes. The DRBizNet solution is the result of a decade of R&D by UISOL in close collaboration with California utilities. PJM's implementation is the largest and most sophisticated production deployment of a demand response management system in the world. "Our investment in technology supports the growth of demand resources in our markets, streamlines operations for our members and increases the transparency of information," said Andrew Ott, PJM Senior Vice President - Markets. "We want to be ahead of the curve with the technology supporting our members as demand resources and associated smart grid applications continue to evolve." UISOL Senior Vice President Travis Rouillard led the UISOL members of the joint PJM-UISOL project team and said, "It has been an honor for UISOL to partner with PJM to create the world's most sophisticated demand response management solution that will help PJM deliver enhanced reliability, reduced price volatility, and improved market efficiency. We look forward to bringing the benefits of DRBizNet to market participants, utilities, and other market operators in the USA and abroad."
