The Research Of Regional Power Market In China

As socialist market economy of our country develops further, electric power industry in China has introduced market system, putting in line all the elements in the operation and production of electric power industry, such as power supply in generation, transmission, distribution and consumption. It is essentially the trend to construct the competitive power market so as to gain the optimization disposition of electric power source. Regional Power Market (RPM) plays an important role in power market in our country. In China, power marketing research has been focusing on problems as the split of power plant and power network, reorganization of power enterprises, price competition on net, and etc. Till now, RPM is still a neglected case. RPM is the place where electric power deal is carried out between provincial power network and municipal power network, composed mainly of regional power network, power purchaser and seller across the city and provincial network, and regional network power dispatching plant directly. The main purpose for establishing RPM is to destroy the current power deal fortress between the province and city networks, simultaneously realizing the effective optimization of power source in the scope of larger regional power networks. The erection of RPM, together with its adoption of supervisory management pattern and functional role affects the reform of present structure of RPM and marketing administration of all levels of power network management system. With our country's energy strategy drawing more attentions, the requirement for energy optimization arrangement becomes urgent. To build up power market based on regional power network will help to promote the power network connection in every part of our country, and in a way to obtain the optimization disposition of power source on a large scale. Thus, the study of the construction and operating method of RPM is theoretically and realistically significant, particularly in speeding up the electric power marketing in our country.The transmission of electric power distinguishes strongly from that of other industries. Power energy can not be abundantly stocked, thus the electric power generation, power supply, power sale and power consumption must be processed in the meantime. Power network, as a wholesale system, should retain stable and reliable in electric power generation and management. Therefore, marketing reform and power market construction in power industry vary greatly from other industries, which is a complex process with its own special features. Specific problems in this area are still being examined and surveyed, which means that power market is at the stage of constant exploration and further development. The essence of power market lies in its competition as competition makes for the optimization of electric power source. In the process of power market competition, power generator, power network company, and the consumer become justified members in the market to enjoy fair deal, with electric power and service ranked as commodities. This performance is distinctly a contrast to the established concepts regarding electric power, bringing about great assaults as well as challengesagainst electric power system and its reform, for traditional views hold that power industry should be monopolized because of the instant and simultaneous completion of power generating, transmitting, power dispatching and power consuming; besides electric power can only be public utilities as its products fail to possess commodity features.This dissertation, founded on the research results of modern systematic scientific theory, web theory, market economy theory, enterprise managing and administrating theory, and cost theory, has studied systematically the frame, the operating theory and methods of RPM, taking market competition theory and price theory as the stressing points. Through comparative analysis of foreign power marketing process, the paper discusses in a systematic way the construction of RPM in the aspects of its environment conditions,...
