Abstract
This paper discusses the assessment and visualization of market power in bulk electricity markets, with the explicit consideration of transmission system constraints. In general, market power is the ability of a particular seller or group of sellers to maintain prices profitably above competitive levels for a significant period of time. When an entity has and exercises market power, it ceases to be a price taker and becomes a price maker. The restructuring of the electric industry in many parts of the world has encouraged competitive markets with the objective of reaping the benefits of lower prices and innovation that competition can provide. Such benefits are not attainable when a player utilizing the electric transmission system may exert market power. This paper describers the procedures for analyzing and visualizing such potential situations.
