Power Pools; Economic Dispatch
Power pools are formal groups of Utilities that exchange electricity in order to reduce production costs. The purpose of this paper is to present a framework which assesses the impacts of different types of pooling arrangements on production costs and emissions. The framework is based on a set of economic dispatch models which simulate how different types of pools approach short-term energy exchanges. The models include constraints on emissions, system demand, spinning reserve and unit output By varying the constraint set, trade-offs between costs and emissions across different types of pools can be quantified. To demonstrate the value of this approach, an illustrative calculation is presented for an existing pool.
