Logical Data Structure

From EMO Wiki
Jump to navigation Jump to search

EMarketOffer uses two broad types of data:

Static Data: Static data describes the Items Modelled in EMarketOffer (e.g. Generator maximum capacity).

Dynamic Data: Dynamic data describing the state of the Modelled Items defined by the static data and changes rapidly over time, typically by Trading Period (e.g. Nodal Price)

Terminology

EMarketOffer's data design consists of 'things' (or items) included in the model, and the characteristics of those 'things'. In this manual the 'things' are called Entities and their characteristics are called Traits. Traits may be static or dynamic.

For example the Circuit Entity can have the static Traits of Start Node and End Node, and the dynamic Traits of Powerflow and Loss by Trading Period.


NOTE: : Static data is not permanently fixed and may, at times, be quite changeable, but within the context of EMarketOffer it is not necessary to be able to track such changes down to the Trading Period level.


Modelled Entities

Four broad categories of entity are modelled in EMarketOffer:

Entity Type Relate To
System
The physical Transmission System
Market
The routine operation of the wholesale Market (Offers, Load, Price)
Commercial
Generation Companies and their retail and hedging operations
Geographical
Physical points and regional positioning

System Entities

The following table lists and describes the System entities modelled in EMarketOffer.

Entity Description Attribute (Trait)

System Node

Any point in the NZ Transmission System to which a Circuit can be connected
  • Name

Substation

One or more System and/or Market Nodes located at a single geographical location
  • Name
  • Component Node

Circuit

A branch (Circuit) conducting power on the NZ Transmission System
  • Name
  • From Node
  • To Node
  • Contributes to HVDC (Yes/No)
  • Resistance
  • Reactance
  • Capacity (Summer/Winter)

Branch Constraint

A Transpower defined Constraint affecting a single Circuit (by imposing a limit on power transfer on the circuit)
  • Name
  • Circuit
  • Start Date and Period
  • End Date and Period
  • Value

Equation Constraint

A Transpower defined Constraint involving more than one circuit
  • Name
  • Start Date and Period
  • End Date and Period
  • Affected circuits
  • Constraint Equation
  • Limit (RHS)

Reserve Region

A Transpower defined Region used for calculating
  • Reserve Region Name

Market Entities

The following table lists and describes the Market entities modelled in EMarketOffer

Entity Description Attribute (Trait)

Market Node

A system Node at which electricity can be injected or withdrawn and for which a Nodal Price is published in the NZEM
  • Name (System Node)

Unit

A single physical electricity generation Unit for which Offers can be made
  • Name
  • Connection (Market Node)

Generator

A logical collection of (typically geographically co-located) Units
  • Name
  • Component Units

Commercial Entities

The following table lists and describes the Commercial entities modeled in EMarketOffer

Entity Description Attribute (trait)

Company

An owner of Generation capacity
  • Name
  • Unit(s)
    • Unit Name
    • Cost in dollars per MWh
  • Retail Node(s)
    • Node Name
    • Percentage load owned
    • Retail price in dollars per MWh
  • Hedge Contract(s)
    • Reference Node name
    • Hedge start date
    • Hedge start period
    • Hedge end date
    • Hedge end period
    • Strike price in dollars per MWh
    • Quantity (MW)

Geographical Items

The following table lists and describes the Geographical items modelled in EMarketOffer

Item (entity) Description Attribute (trait)

Region

A logical collection of Substations (typically but not necessarily geographically co-located)
  • Name
  • Component System nodes

Note: The Items listed above are not all modelled at the same level in EMarketOffer. For example no distinction is made in the program between System and Market Nodes with Prices being calculated for all System Nodes in Forecasts. Also Branch Constraints are treated as complex attributes of individual circuits rather than Items in their own right.


Dynamic Data

Dynamic data Traits that changes value frequently, typically by Trading Period. The following table lists the dynamic data items modelled in the EMarketOffer:
