Dynamic Interactions in the Western United States Electricity Spot Markets
Description
Dynamic interactions between six electricity spot markets in the western United States are examined using time series analysis and directed graphs. Results show the western trading region to be highly integrated. The California market appears to be the driving force for prices in contemporaneous time. Seasonal analyses suggest there are seasonal differences in the short-run price discovery mechanisms. In the longer run, price dynamics appear to be similar between seasons. The mid-Columbia spot market appears to be the dominant market in the long run in both seasons.

SuperGrid Workshop Report and Presentations
Description
This webpage provides a report and presentations from of the National Energy Supergrid Workshop, which was held on November 6-8, 2002 in Palo Alto, California. The purpose of the workshop was to investigate the technical feasibility of a proposal developed by Chauncey Starr, founder and emeritus president of EPRI, for the creation of an electric power transmission ?Continental SuperGrid? to meet the nation?s energy needs in the mid to later half of the 21st Century. The National Energy Supergrid Workshop had a number of PSERC individuals as organizers, presenters and attendees. The PSERC participants included Fernando Alvarado, Dale Bradshaw, George Gross, Dale Krummen, Bob Lasseter, Shmuel Oren, and Tom Overbye.

Voltage Collapse Simulation (Eastern Interconnection Scenario)
Description
This simulation applies major events in the Blackout of 2003 to Eastern Interconnection model from 1998 showing that the older model also experienced voltage collapse after those major events.
