Analysis And Research On The Operation System Of Electricity Market

Electric power industry has been state-monopolized in many countries for a long time. This operational model has been exposing more and more disadvantages with the development of electric economy and the accelerating of economic globalization. Recent years, some western countries such as UK and Australia have explored a lot to introduce competitive mechanism, to break up monopoly in electric transaction, and have turned out good result in lowering the electricity price and promoting economic development. With China's access to WTO (World Trade Organization), the voice of breaking up industrial monopoly has become stronger than ever before throughout the country. As one of the most important infrastructures of national economy, how to promote market-oriented reform in electric power industry, how to set up a standardized, equal, competitive and orderly electricity market, will directly affect the success of electric power industry reform. Based on theoretical approach to market-oriented electric power, this thesis places emphasis on analyzing the stage aim and model of market-oriented electric power in China, and puts forward the main work should be carried out at present and relevant policy suggestions. There are six chapters in this thesis. It respectively introduces the significance and main contents of studying market-oriented electric power; illustrates the background of market-oriented electric power reform; analyses the characters of electricity market; discusses the popular operation models of the electricity market abroad and their characteristics; illustrates the necessity of China's market-oriented electricity reform; puts forward the design including the structure of electricity market and the stage aims of market-oriented electric power; points out the problems must be solved in promoting market-oriented electric power reform, such as perfecting market mechanism, restricting market behaviors, developing technical supporting system, etc.The market-oriented reform of electric power industry is an inexorable trend, which plays significant role in allocating electric power resources. At present, we should continue to promote market-oriented reform of electric power, which suit China's national conditions, and spur the development of social economy.
