Electricity Marketing Operation Technology Laboratory

Electricity Marketing Operation Technology Laboratory is located in Nanjing Campus of China Electric Power Research Institute. Founded in 2012 and approved as a "Laboratory of State Grid Corporation of China", the Laboratory is in the charge of State Grid Corporation of China and is operated and managed by Power Automation Department under China Electric Power Research Institute.

The Laboratory has set 4 major research directions: market deduction assessment, new technology verification, system software testing, and practical training and drills. Presently it mainly engages in medium and long-term electricity transaction, electricity transaction security verification, Source-Grid-Load interaction, and formulation of electricity marketing operation standard, etc.

The Laboratory has the ability of point-to-network optimization and grid-to-grid optimization, ability to verify large-scale clean energy consumption optimization, source-Grid-Load interactive operation, grid security verification and desktop cloud technology, etc., ability of electricity market operation drilling and training, and ability of development and commissioning of electricity market operation supporting software and system testing. It can provide experimental and simulation technology support for policy formulation, technical transformation, training certification and system testing for electricity market.  The Laboratory is equipped with advanced apparatus and equipment, such as high-performance energy storage equipment, network equipment, server, GPU high-performance computer card, network tester and other mainstream laboratory apparatus and equipment. Meanwhile, it is fitted with internationally advanced computing optimization engine--AIMMS software and other electricity market experiment supporting software. Furthermore, the Laboratory has owned advanced experiment platforms, including national unified electricity market trading platform experiment system, point-to-network transaction optimization experiment system, and network-to-network transaction optimization experiment system. In the future, the Laboratory will establish itself as an experiment verification base, research and development base, system detection base and training certification base in the field of electricity market, so as to provide technical support for the development of Chinese electricity market.
