Qinghai

Notice of the First Simulated Trial Run Programme of the Qinghai Electricity Spot Market

January 5 (Qinghai Energy Bureau) The first mock trial run of the Qinghai electricity spot market is proposed to be conducted from January 11-13, 2023. During the simulation trial run, the energy storage power plants will not participate in pricing and accept the electricity spot market price. Among them, energy storage plants, as a combination of electricity generation and consumption, will participate in the market by "quoting", making independent decisions on the quantity and price curves of the charging state (1-5 segments, charging when the spot price is lower than the quoted price) and the quantity and price curves of the discharging state (1-5 segments, discharging when the spot price is higher than the quoted price), storing the power state SOC, etc. Energy storage power stations compete with other market players on the same stage, and their declarations are included in the market clearing to invoke energy storage on the principle of economic optimum. During the simulated trial run, thermal power units and new energy sites declare their prices, with the lower limit of declaration temporarily set at RMB 40/MWh and the upper limit temporarily set at RMB 500/MWh.
