Transmission system modeling and analysis

Transmission congestion and LMP analysis

Analyzing and forecasting LMP and transmission congestion and its impacts on specific generation and transmission assets requires detailed power flow analysis. Bates White experts can perform optimal power flow and production simulation modeling to forecast LMP for any specific locations in the interconnected transmission system and to forecast transmission line loading and associated shadow prices for any specific lines in the interconnected transmission system. Our transmission modeling tools assess the impact of dynamic losses on LMP and expected power flows. We assist clients with all aspects of LMP and transmission congestion related challenges, including FTR registration, nomination, and procurement to hedge potential transmission congestion costs; assessment of Regional Transmission Organization (RTO) membership; effects generation interconnection and retirement decisions on transmission system and associated transmission upgrade costs; identification of optimal generation interconnection points to maximize locational revenues; and cost-benefit analysis of transmission and generating capacity expansion to relieve transmission constraints.
