Aging power systems must be modernized to successfully support our national security and our growing economy. Federal, States, Utilities, Regulators, Universities, and Vendors need co-operation to develop the vision and common goals, research and develop the new technologies, integrate and deploy programs and technologies to transform today’s grids to more reliable, secure, economic, quality, efficient, safe, and environmental friendly grids. Smart grid is new vision for 21st-century grid.

Market simulation tool is required to meet the emerging market operation requirements. The presentation will cover the fundamentals for LMP markets. A market simulation program will be used to demonstrate how to address the emerging issues in power markets. Wind generation model, hydro and pumped storage model are also addressed. The smart grid and its impacts can be assessed using market simulation tool.
