Nodal Background
• Constraints -- $ matter
• What’s in a Hub price? What’s in a Zonal price?
Shift Factors and Congestion
Pricing Considerations
• Congestion
• Marginal Losses

PJM East Hub – it may not be what you think
ISO hubs typically consist of numerous individual nodes.
Nodes can be geographically and electrically diverse,
making it difficult to isolate the impact of individual
transmission constraints.
• PJM East consists of 216 individual nodes
• 84% of the nodes are load nodes
• 49% of the nodes are located in the Delmarva area
• 92% are located in PECO and Delmarva

While average losses basis differentials can be larger than congestion basis
differentials, variation in congestion basis differentials is an order of magnitude
greater.

Shift factors represent the change in power flow on a line when an injection is made
at one bus and a corresponding change in withdrawal is made at the reference bus
Shift factors are calculated for a specific system topology. Shift factors change when the
topology changes or line impedance changes. Shift factors do not change if the
injection/withdrawal amount increases for any set of locations.

The broader regional transmission system will be improved if/when the Byron to
Wayne 345 kV line is added
Transmission flows
across ComEd are
generally west-to-
east and are limited
by the constraints
involving the two
large 345 kV lines,
and its interaction
with the underlying
138 kV system.

While average congestion is similar across generating nodes in the ComEd zone,
the impact of individual constraints differs greatly.
ComEd nodal prices are driven by constraints located outside of that zone.

Shift factors change when the topology changes or line impedance changes. Shift factors do not change if the injection/withdrawal amount increases for any set of locations. Source: CAISO
