  • Publication number: 20230107441
    Abstract: A power transaction market includes a first individual market and a second individual market. The first individual market is configured to implement transactions of electric power between power resources in a normal state of the power system. The second individual market is configured to implement transactions of electric power between the power resources in an emergency state in which supply of electric power from the power system is stopped. A management device that manages transactions of electric power between the power resources is configured to impose a penalty on a participant who does not implement a contract for a transaction of electric power in each of the first and second individual markets. The management device is configured to set the penalty in the second individual market to a higher value than the penalty in the first individual market.
