| Popis: | In this paper, we consider a new class of mechanisms, L P R , which serves as a generalization of locational marginal pricing (LMP) and uniform pricing (CP) mechanisms. We analyze a space of possible mechanisms defined by the L P R class in the context of fairness, system balancing cost and market signals. We show that LMP is the only mechanism that produces signals of good quality. On the other hand, the uniform price mechanism enables minimization of system balancing costs and thereby, maximization of economic surplus, which is allocated under competitive rules. LMP generally works better than CP in terms of fairness. However, we show that there are other possibilities for constructing new and interesting mechanisms in the L P R class. We present an exemplary mechanism, LP+, which acts as a trade-off between LMP and CP, and presents sustainable properties. The numerical experiments we provide reveal that LP+ has interesting features. Finally, we claim that none of the following mechanisms – LMP, CP and LP+ – is dominated in L P R space in terms of considered quality measures. |
