Competition Analysis (based on the NERSI indicator) of OpenCEM Output

OpenCEM Competition Model

This package takes output from the open capacity expansion model OpenCEM and provides insights into the competitive nature of simulated generation mixes, based on the Network-Extended Residual Supply Index NERSI measure of electricity market competition.

Installation

This package uses the poetry package manager. Install poetry with instructions here. Then run poetry install to install your dependencies,

Maximum Generator Sizing

This script takes the json output files from OpenCEM and generates a timeseries with a number of extracted values (ie.hourly demand, generation for each generator type), as well as the maximum allowable generator size to attain a NERSI > 1 (ie. the maximum size a generator can be without having market power under this measure of pivotality). See maz_generator_size_all_years.sh for further usage hints.

Usage: poetry run python max_generator_size.py <OPENCEM_JSON_PATH> <OUTPUT_CSV_PATH>

Unit Tests

This package uses pytest. You can run the peak price estimator unit tests with poetry run pytest
