The balancing of the power of the Polish Power System (KSE) is a key element in ensuring the safety of electric energy supplies to end users. This article presents an analysis of the power demand in power systems (PS), with emphasis on the typical power variability both in subsequent hours of the day and on particular days and in particular months each year. The methodology for calculating the costs of electric energy undelivered to the end users and the amount of these costs for KSE is presented. Different possibilities have been analyzed for balancing power systems’ peak load and assumptions have been formulated for calculating the amount of the related costs. On this basis, a comparative analysis has been made of the possibility to balance peak load using operators’ system services, trans-border connections, and various energy storage solutions. On the basis of the obtained results, optimal tools have been proposed for market-based influence from transmission and distribution system operators on energy market participants’ behaviors in order to ensure the power systems’ operating safety and continuous energy deliveries to end users.


Subject Impact of the US-China tariffs on the energy market. Significance Global trade is slowing, and the US-China trade tariffs are exacerbating the slowdown. US oil and liquefied natural gas (LNG) exporters are finding alternative markets, but competitive pressures are likely to rise as both oil and LNG markets face oversupply. The tariffs on goods imported to the United States are also raising costs for the renewable and non-renewable sectors. Impacts US LNG producers could struggle to place cargoes as European gas storage approaches capacity. The large number of US offshore wind projects underway may be held back because the US-China tariffs are increasing project costs. Weak world trade and GDP growth is capping energy demand, offsetting supply worries and curbing oil price gains.

<p>A criação das agências reguladoras no Brasil baseou-se nos modelos Americano e Britânico de regulamentação os quais, apresentavam condições históricas, sociais, políticas e sistema jurídico distintos do Brasileiro. Considerando este importante aspecto, o artigo tem por objetivo retomar o cenário de implantação das agências nestes países, apontando as particularidades do setor elétrico. O estudo avaliará ainda a assimetria de informações e o poder de coesão e influência regulatória dos agentes do setor, em relação à possibilidade de desvios de finalidade da Agência Nacional de Energia Elétrica (ANEEL). A discussão sobre o conceito de regulação e sua eficácia se inicia nos EUA na década de 1970 quando seus principais teóricos (Stigler, Posner e Peltzman) criticam a ideia de que as agências são eficientes em corrigir os desequilíbrios dos mercados e que atuam em prol do interesse público. Assim, as agências deste país, a partir da década de 1980, sofrem restrições à sua autoridade, controle judicial e competências. Na contramão deste movimento nas décadas de 1980 e 1990, são criadas na Inglaterra e no Brasil respectivamente, as agências de regulação como autarquias especiais as quais possuem autonomia administrativa e financeira além de estabilidade dos dirigentes. Sua criação se fez necessária com a privatização das empresas estatais.</p><p> </p><p>The creation of regulatory agencies in Brazil was based on the American and British regulatory models which, however, had historical, social, political and legal system completely distinct from the Brazilian. Considering this important aspect, this study aims to resume the scenario that occurred the implementation of the regulatory framework in these countries, pointing to the particularities of the electricity sector. The study will also assess information asymmetry and power of cohesion and regulatory influence of the agents of the sector, related to deviations from the National Electric Energy Agency (ANEEL). The discussion on the concept of regulation and its effectiveness begins in the US from the 1970s when its main theoreticians (Stigler, Posner and Peltzman) criticized the idea that the regulatory agencies are effective in correcting the imbalances of markets and act in the public interest. For this reason, agencies of this country, from the 1980s, are restricted to their authority, and judicial powers. Against this act, England and Brazil in the late 1980s and 1990s, respectively, created the regulatory agencies as special municipalities which have administrative and financial autonomy as well as stability leaders and fixed term. Their creation was necessary given the privatization of state companies.</p>

From the 1994 CAIS Conference: The Information Industry in Transition McGill University, Montreal, Quebec. May 25 - 27, 1994.Advanced information systems requirements are identified to achieve energy market efficiencies sought by regulators and market participants. Natural gas and electric energy distribution systems dependencies on the increasingly complex integration of information relating to scheduling, dispatch and operations monitoring are discussed.
