Taking the electricity sector as a backdrop, this dissertation presents the basis for what would be an ideal reform, usually referred to in the literature as 'textbook reform', followed by a presentation of the regulatory evolution of the Brazilian electricity sector, from 1930 until early 2014, with special emphasis on the reforms that took place during the period of 1995 to 2004. The bibliographic research presented in this dissertation is divided into four chapters and analyzes the present situation of the liberalization of the Brazilian electricity market and suggests feasible improvements in order to develop this market in Brazil. / São muitos os desafios intrínsecos ao bom funcionamento de um setor tão complexo quanto o elétrico, em que os efeitos de determinada medida podem levar anos até a maturidade, e só então ser totalmente conhecidos os seus impactos sobre a estrutura setorial como um todo, dificilmente antecipados pelos formuladores das reformas implementadas. Tomando o setor elétrico como pano de fundo, o escopo desta dissertação é apresentar as bases para o que seria uma reforma ideal, denominada na literatura 'reforma de livro texto' e, em seguida, discorrer sobre a evolução regulatória do setor elétrico brasileiro de 1930 até o início de 2014, detalhando, especialmente, as características das reformas ocorridas em 1995 e 2004. Com esse esforço de pesquisa, que adota a técnica bibliográfica e se estrutura em quatro capítulos, pretende-se analisar a situação atual do mercado livre de energia elétrica brasileiro e propor melhorias passíveis de implementação com o objetivo de desenvolver este mercado no Brasil.

Throughout the decade of 1990, Peru went through a process of liberalization and privatization, a process that was reflected on the mechanism of provision of utilities in the country.In the present article, the author studies the previously mentioned process focusing in the power sector, analyzing it from the Law on Electric Concessions reforms and focusing on its commercial function. He also offers a critical and descriptive overview, including the advantages and disadvantages of the Peruvian model. / A lo largo de la década de 1990, el Perú atravesó un proceso de liberalización y privatización, fenómeno que se reflejó en el mecanismo de prestación de servicios públicos en el país.En el presente artículo, el autor estudia dicho proceso centrándose en el sector eléctrico, analizándolo básicamente a partir de las reformas de la Ley de Concesiones Eléctricas y concentrándose en su función comercial. Asimismo, ofrece un panorama crítico y descriptivo, incluyendo las ventajas y desventajas del modelo peruano.

O conjunto de leis, decretos e instrumentos regulatórios que regem o setor elétrico a partir da virada deste século é bastante complexo. Em paralelo, o desafio constante da expansão da oferta de energia elétrica para o atendimento da demanda sempre crescente de um país em desenvolvimento como o Brasil requer análise profunda de seu arranjo institucional. Adicionalmente, a expansão da oferta também depende do desenvolvimento de ferramentas para melhorar a gestão dos ativos de geração de energia elétrica que irão atender esse desafio. Neste contexto, o presente trabalho se propõe a fazer um mapeamento dos principais componentes de incerteza e risco associados à geração de energia elétrica no Brasil sob o ponto de vista regulatório. Analisa, assim, o modelo em vigor desde a promulgação da Lei 10.848 de 2004, o qual promove a competição entre fontes de energia de natureza complementar, mas com características distintas. No percurso deste estudo são discutidos instrumentos para avaliar o arranjo das unidades de geração em um portfolio de ativos de fontes diversas, bem como seus principais componentes e, em que medida, a regulação em vigor favorece a sinergia entre as diferentes fontes de geração elétrica. Na medida em que este arranjo setorial se baseia na contratação de energia elétrica de longo prazo, os resultados deste trabalho indicam que a sinergia desejada entre as fontes de geração de energia elétrica fica restrita apenas ao mercado de curto prazo, extremamente volátil, conquanto poderia ser aproveitada no desenho de um portfolio mais eficiente, tanto para o país quanto para os investidores em geração. / The set of laws, decrees and regulatory instruments leading the electricity sector in the new century is quite complex in Brazil. In parallel, the constant challenge of expanding the supply of energy to meet the ever increasing demand of a developing country requires a deep analysis of this institutional configuration designed to simplify the understanding of the sector major issues and improve the management assets to generate electricity that will meet this challenge. This work intends to map the key uncertainty and risk components associated with power generation in Brazil under the regulatory perspective. To do so, it analyzes the model in place since the enactment of Law #10,848 in 2004 which promotes the competition among energy sources with different characteristics. In the course of the text here presented it is conducted a discussion about the tools designed to evaluate the selection of power plants in a portfolio of assets from different energy sources, analyzing its main components, and the synergy level among these different sources. Additionally, it is also addressed the regulatory environment and its implications for the power industry in Brazil. Through this study it was found that the extent to which this regulatory arrangement is based on long term power purchase agreements, the desired synergy between sources of power generation is restricted to the highly volatile spot market, although it could be used in designing a more efficient portfolio, both for the country and for investors in generation.

Une crise de grande ampleur laisse supposer d’importants changements en politiques publiques.Toutefois, les multiples accidents nucléaires ont souligné l’effet d’inertie du système de l’électricité en France comme au Japon et du maintien des acteurs dominants au sein de ce système. Le particulier focusing event que constitue Fukushima apparaît toutefois comme un vecteur important de changement dans un système fortement soumis à la dépendance au sentier et à un bouleversement des rapports de force,dépassant par là même les enjeux énergétiques. Au delà des questions de gouvernance de l’énergie, ce travail vise en outre à souligner les importantes transformations qui touchent le marché de l’électricité sous les effets d’une libéralisation toujours plus poussée. Dès lors cette analyse s’attache à fois à l’étude de la gouvernance de la politique de l’énergie mais également aux conséquences d’une ouverture plus progressive du marché sur les acteurs concernés dans une perspective principalement nationale mais aussi européenne. / While a widespread crisis would cause significant changes in public policies, nuclear accidents underline an inertia effect in the energy system in France and Japan. These cases lay out the maintenance of the position of dominant stakeholders within the system. Nevertheless, the particular focusing event of Fukushima appears to be an important driver of change in a system with strong path dependency, and disrupts the power balance of stakeholders. The change then goes beyond energy issues. In addition to the governance stakes, this thesis examines the significant alterations of the electricity market under the liberalisation dynamics . It also analyses the governance of energy policy and the consequences of the electricity market from domestic and European perspectives.

L'énergie éolienne jouant un rôle de plus en plus important dans le réseau électrique, elle ne peut plus être considérée comme une source d'énergie marginale. Par conséquent, l'impact sur le réseau de l'intermittence, inhérente à ce type d'énergie devient non négligeable. L'utilisation du stockage est une des principales solutions à ce problème d'intégration. Ce travail porte sur l'optimisation du système éolien/stockage en considérant la dynamique de l'éolien, la capacité de stockage et l'interaction avec le réseau. L'objectif consiste à répondre aux exigences du réseau en limitant les fluctuations, à fournir des services-systèmes tout en mettant en avant la rentabilité économique du système. La méthode de gestion proposée s'appuie sur deux niveaux de pilotage : l'anticipation et la gestion réactive. La première phase consiste à utiliser des informations de prévisions (météorologiques, contraintes du réseau, conditions du marché électrique...) afin de définir par avance le programme de fonctionnement optimal du système de stockage. La deuxième phase étudie le fonctionnement en temps réel, où le système doit faire face aux perturbations et respecter les règles du mécanisme d'ajustement. Le problème est complexe avec de nombreuses variables de contrôle discrètes et continues. La Programmation Mixte Linéaire (PML) est utilisée pour résoudre efficacement le problème. La stratégie de fonctionnement optimale proposée sera validée sur un simulateur hors temps réel et un simulateur en temps réel. / Wind energy playing an increasingly important role in the electrical network and it will no longer be considered as a marginal. Therefore, the impact on the electrical grid of its inherent intermittency becomes non-negligible. The use of storage means is one of key points in the integration problem. In this work, the optimization of the wind/storage system is addressed by considering the dynamics of the wind power, the storage capacity and the grid constraints. The main objective is to meet the grids requirements in limiting the fluctuations, providing possible ancillary services and highlighting the economic profitability of system. The proposed method relies on a two levels control approach: anticipation and reactive management. The first one consists in using forecast information (weather, grid constraints, electrical market conditions …) to define in advance the optimal operation schedule for the storage system. In the second one, on real time operation, the system has to deal with possible disturbances and take the right adjustment control with the actual capacity. The problem is complex with numerous discrete control variables and continuous ones. A mixed-integer linear programming (MILP) is used to efficiently solve the problem. The proposed optimal operation strategy will be validated with on an offline simulation (simulink/Matlab) and a real time simulator.

É proposta uma nova categoria: bens de rivalidade extrema (RE) para adequada classificação da eletricidade. A RE se manifesta quando o consumidor marginal demanda do sistema a última unidade de eletricidade disponível na rede o que implica no completo desligamento do sistema, mesmo que essa unidade não disponível seja infinitesimal em relação à capacidade plena, o que é uma característica única. Governos coordenam investimentos em capacidade excedente para lidar com esse fenômeno, porém essa tal capacidade extra prejudica a concorrência, a inovação e investimentos em eficiência energética e fontes alternativas. O Gerenciamento da Rivalidade Extrema (GRE) propõe tratar de maneira diferente o fenômeno da RE através de capacidades de rede inteligente para promover de maneira individualizada e organizada a desconexão de consumidores quando ocorrem situações críticas de suprimento, seguindo uma ordem que desconecta prioritariamente os consumidores menos sensíveis a interrupções. A política de Valor de Segurança do Suprimento (VSS) se baseia em declarações dos consumidores a respeito de quanto estão dispostos a pagar em eventos críticos para evitar serem desconectados. Essa política inicia desconexões individualizadas de consumidores que declararam VSS = 0 procedendo em ordem crescente de valores de VSS até que seja equilibrada a demanda e a oferta e assegurado o equilíbrio do sistema. Todos consumidores que forem preservados devem pagar o VSS declarado, cuja receita pode ser usada para remunerar consumidores que foram desconectados ou financiar investimentos em expansão de capacidade / Abstract: Economic goods are classified as rival, non-rival and anti-rivals goods. We propose a new category: extreme rivalry goods (ER) for proper classification of electricity. ER manifests itself when the marginal consumer demands the last unit of electricity available on the grid implying in a complete shutdown of the system, even though by an infinitesimal amount compared to the total capacity, which is a unique feature. Governments coordinate investments in overcapacity to deal with this with the downside of preventing competition, innovation and undermining investments in energy efficiency and alternative energy. Management of Extreme Rivalry (MER) uses a different approach to ER relying in smart grid features to promote individualized and ordered disconnection of consumers when there is a critical supply situation, following a queue that begins with consumers less sensitive to disconnections. A policy of "Value of Supply Maintenance" (VSM) is based on declarations from consumers about how much they are willing to pay during critical supply events to prevent being disconnected. The VSM method begins disconnecting consumers who informed VSM = 0 proceeding in order of increasing VSM values until the balance between generation and consumption is ensured to balance the system. All preserved consumers must pay the VSM / Doutorado / Eletrônica, Microeletrônica e Optoeletrônica / Doutor em Engenharia Elétrica

Diese Dissertation untersucht Fragen, die sich mit dem Einfluss der Übertragungskapazitäten und der Erzeugung erneuerbarer Energien auf dem Strommarkt befassen. Die Arbeit besteht aus drei eigenständigen Aufsätze, die für die politische Debatte einen Beitrag leisten. Das erste Kapitel konzentriert sich auf ein Netzwerk mit strategischen Unternehmen, die die Stromflüsse zu ihrem Vorteil manipulieren können. Dieses Kapitel gehört zur Forschungsliteratur, die Strommärkte als Gleichgewichtsprobleme mit Gleichgewichtseinschränkungen darstellt. In diesem Rahmen vergleiche ich mehrere Strategien zur Stärkung des Wettbewerbs und zeige, dass der Netzausbau zwar den Wettbewerb ankurbeln kann, mit Umstrukturierungen aber größere Verbesserungen des Verbraucherüberschusses und des Wohlstands erzielt werden können. Das zweite Kapitel basiert auf einem ähnlichen Modell mit einem einfachen Zwei-Knoten-Netzwerk. Dieser Ansatz zeigt mögliche nachteilige Auswirkungen (höhere Preise, geringerer Gesamtverbrauch, geringerer Konsumentenrente) einer höheren Einspeisung erneuerbarer Energie in einem Netz, in dem eine Region mit hohem erneuerbaren Potenzial von einer Region mit hoher Last durch eine begrenzte Übertragungskapazität getrennt ist. Die Annahme ist, dass es in jeder Region einen strategischen Akteur gibt, der seine Marktmacht ausübt. Das dritte Kapitel befasst sich mit der Substitution zwischen Übertragungs- und Speicherkapazitäten - beides Instrumente zur Integration von erneuerbarer Energien. Eine Analyse mit einfachen Speicherheuristik zeigt den relativ bescheidenen Effekt des zeitlichen Ausgleichs. Im Gegensatz dazu birgt die Erweiterung des Übertragungsnetzes ein erhebliches Steigerungspotenzial für die Nutzung erneuerbarer Energiequellen, die Verringerung der Kürzungsraten und die Reduzierung der minimalen konventionellen Stromerzeugung. / This thesis investigates several questions related to the influence of transmission capacities and generation of renewable energy on the outcomes in the wholesale electricity markets. The thesis consists of three self-contained essays that contribute to the policy debate. The analysis of the first essay focuses on a network with strategic firms that can manipulate power flows to their advantage. Methodologically, this chapter belongs to the research literature that represents electricity markets as equilibrium problems with equilibrium constraints. In this framework I compare several policies of enhancing competition and demonstrate that although network expansion can stimulate competition, larger improvements in consumer surplus and welfare can be achieved with restructuring. The second essay is based on a similar model, but in a stylized two node network. This approach demonstrates potential adverse effects (higher prices, lower total consumption, lower consumer surplus) from higher renewable infeed in a network where a region with high renewable potential is separated from a region with high load by a limited transmission capacity. I adopt a worst-case assumption that in each region there is a strategic player exercising its market power. The third essay studies the substitution between transmission and storage expansion - two instruments for the integration of expanding renewable energy. Using a myopic storage heuristic I demonstrate the relatively modest effect of temporal balancing of renewable power. In contrast, transmission expansion has a significant potential in increasing renewable penetration, mitigating curtailment rates, and reducing the minimum conventional generation power at any hour. If Europe is to pursue the high targets of renewable power in electricity consumption, the only way to avoid the expansion of cross border lines is extremely high installed renewable capacities and energy capacities of storage.

La transition énergétique, en partie caractérisée par le déploiement massif des énergies renouvelables, a relancé un débat de longue date sur les architectures de marché fournissant les meilleures incitations aux investissements dans les marchés libéralisés de l’électricité. Ces incitations sont essentielles pour garantir la sécurité d’approvisionnement à long terme. Pour choisir l’architecture de marché adéquate, les décideurs publics doivent évaluer et comparer les performances économiques des solutions disponibles. La présente thèse complète la littérature sur les incitations aux investissements et la sécurité d’approvisionnement en étudiant trois aspects importants : (i) le comportement des marchés de l'électricité en présence d’acteurs averses au risque, (ii) la compatibilité entre les incitations des acteurs à mettre leurs actifs sous cocon et les objectifs de sécurité d’approvisionnement et (iii) les performances économiques de différentes architectures de marché dans un contexte de forte pénétration des énergies renouvelables. Pour ce faire, une modélisation de type System Dynamics est utilisée pour représenter les dynamiques de long terme résultant des décisions des acteurs dans un marché libéralisé. La thèse est organisée en trois chapitres correspondant à chacun des points mentionnés ci-dessus. Les principaux résultats sont les suivants : Premièrement, les mécanismes de capacité sont nécessaires pour faire face aux effets néfastes de l’aversion au risque des investisseurs. Ce phénomène affecte de manière significative les marchés de l’énergie de type energy-only, qui subissent alors une baisse des investissements et des pénuries plus importantes. Les marchés de capacité résistent mieux à l’aversion au risque des investisseurs. Cependant, cette résilience dépend du plafond des prix dans les enchères de capacité. Pour qu'une telle architecture de marché donne des résultats satisfaisants en termes de sécurité d’approvisionnement, ce plafond de prix doit tenir compte du risque d'investissement supporté par les acteurs. Deuxièmement, si les acteurs du marché en ont la possibilité, leurs décisions de mettre leurs actifs sous cocon peuvent modifier les dynamiques d'investissement et de fermeture à long terme. En outre, dans un monde caractérisé par des actifs indivisibles, cette possibilité augmente le niveau de coordination nécessaire pour assurer la sécurité d’approvisionnement. Cela est particulièrement vrai pour les marchés de type energy-only, dans lesquels la mise sous cocon augmente le niveau des pénuries, au point de contrebalancer les économies de coûts qu’elle génère. En revanche, les marchés de capacité peuvent fournir la coordination nécessaire pour assurer la sécurité d’approvisionnement même lorsque les acteurs ont la possibilité de mettre leurs actifs sous cocon. Troisièmement, parmi les architectures de marché proposées dans la littérature, les marchés de capacité apparaissent comme la meilleure solution du point de vue du surplus social. Néanmoins, du point de vue des investisseurs, et dans certaines conditions liées à une forte pénétration des énergies renouvelables, les marchés de capacité avec des contrats annuels ne suppriment pas entièrement le problème dit de "missing money". Les résultats indiquent que l'attribution de contrats de capacité pluriannuels atténue le problème. / The ongoing energy transition, partly characterized by the massive deployment of renewables, has reignited a long-lasting debate on the best market design options to provide adequate investment incentives and ensure capacity adequacy in liberalised electricity markets. To choose the appropriate market design, policymakers need to assess and compare the economic performances of available solutions in terms of effectiveness and cost-efficiency. This dissertation complements the existing literature on market design for long-term capacity adequacy by focusing on three research topics: (i) understanding how electricity markets perform under different assumptions regarding investors’ risk preferences, (ii) analysing the compatibility of private agents’ incentives to mothball capacity resources with security of supply objectives and (iii) assessing the economic performance of different market designs in a context of a high penetration of renewables. To this end, the System Dynamics modelling framework is applied to represent long-term dynamics resulting from private agents’ decisions in liberalised electricity markets. The dissertation is organised in three chapters corresponding to each of the topics mentioned above. The main results are outlined below. Firstly, capacity remuneration mechanisms are necessary to deal with the detrimental effects of investors’ risk aversion. Energy-only markets are significantly affected by this phenomenon as they experience reduced investment incentives and higher levels of shortages. Capacity markets are more resilient to private investors’ risk aversion. However, this resilience depends on the level of the price cap in the capacity auctions. For such a market design to provide satisfactory outcomes in terms of capacity adequacy, this price cap should account for the investment risk faced by market participants. Secondly, when market participants have the possibility to mothball their capacity resources, these mothballing decisions can potentially modify investment and shutdown dynamics in the long run. Furthermore, in a world with capacity lumpiness (i.e. indivisibilities), mothballing increases the level of coordination needed to ensure capacity adequacy. This is especially true in energy-only markets, where mothballing increases the level of shortages to an extent that seems to overweigh the cost savings it generates at system level. Capacity markets can provide the required coordination to ensure capacity adequacy in a world with mothballing. Thirdly, among proposed market designs in the literature, capacity markets appear as the preferable solution to ensure capacity adequacy from a social welfare point of view. Nevertheless, from a private investor’s perspective and under certain conditions related to high penetration of renewables, capacity markets with annual contracts do not entirely remove the so-called “missing money” problem. The results indicate that granting multiannual capacity contracts alleviates the problem.
