1 dvaced Methods for Security ostraied Fiacial Trasmissio Rights (FTR) Stephe Elbert, Kara Kalsi, Kurt Glaesema, Mark Rice, Maria Vlachopoulou, Nig Zhou Pacific Northwest Natioal aboratory, Richlad, W FER Staff Techical oferece o Icreasig Real-Time ad Day-head Market Efficiecy through Improved Software (Docket No. D0--003) Jue 5-7, 0 Washigto,D

2 Motivatio - halleges with FTR alculatios Fiacial Trasmissio Rights (FTR) improve power market operatio efficiecy by providig fiacial tool to hedge price risk associated with cogestio Mitigate icetives for iefficiet trasmissio ivestmet FTR auctio is formulated as a liear programmig optimizatio problem FTR calculatios are computatioally expesive because arge umber of security costraits (N- cotigecy aalysis) May FTR variables (obligatory ad optioal FTR bids) Multiple time periods (security costraits coupled & o. of costraits icrease expoetially with o. of categories) FTR computatio must be fiished i time to improve market efficiecy

3 Objectives Develop iovative mathematical reformulatio of the FTR problem ompare multiple solvers for FTR computatios Developed approaches will be able to Support N- Simultaeous Feasibility Test (SFT) e.g. D cotigecy aalysis Support both optioal ad obligatory FTR bids Support multi-period FTR calculatio (e.g. witer, summer ad aual) lgorithms desiged to solve FTR problem should be parallelizable to support large-scale implemetatio i a cloud eviromet 3

4 Problem Formulatio Power flow costraits is (sigular) admittace matrix θ i are the bus voltage agles is FTR locatio matrix Thermal costraits coverts voltage agles to lie flows i are trasmissio lie limits id-i costraits ombie dimesio is (costraits x bids) m m m m FTR FTR FTR b b b b m FH m FH FH FTR FTR FTR b m m m m b b b FTR FTR FTR to solve x b 4

5 Stadard FTR Solvers PEX (idustry stadard) Primal simplex; most basic P solver method Updates tableau cotaiig objective fuctio ad costrait iformatio at every iteratio osistetly slower o FTR tha dual simplex Dual simplex; fastest of the PEX methods Similar to primal simplex method, but uses dual formulatio of the P to improve covergece time of optimizatio ore computatio is a liear solve; scales as cube of size arrier; a iterior poit method (best for large sparse problems) primal-dual logarithmic barrier algorithm that geerates a sequece of strictly positive primal ad dual solutios Fewest iteratios but each is more computatioally itese 5

6 PNN FTR solver Parallel daptive No-liear Dyamical System (NDS) Trasform P ito coupled set of o-liear dyamical equatios Dyamical system coverges to stable states which are solutios of primal ad dual P problems respectively No-liear Dyamical System Primal maximize c T x subject to x b ad x 0 Dual miimize b T y subject to T y c ad y 0 dx = k dt c T y + k dy dt dy = k dt b + x + k dx dt k = K i i =,, M k = k Kerel is a pair of easily parallelized matrix-vector operatios: scale as square of problem size (costraits x variables) 6

7 Implemetatio otes Obligatory ad Optioal bids sorted ito separate blocks Obligatory bids may use dese matrix arithmetic Optioal bids use sparse matrix arithmetic (up to 50% sparse) matrix segmets commuicated oce at begiig ad T stored separately to maximize uit stride access Global sums for product vectors ad distributio of x ad y vectors are the oly commuicatio after iitializatio Symmetry of Obligatory bids reduces computatio by two 7
