in a multi-polar electricity market, the possibility of forming a cooperative of production units and collusion between them is very high. Collusion between manufacturers can be made economically by increasing group prices or physically and by preventing the production of electrical energy. There have been many references to economic collusion between units and methods of preventing it, but in the case of capacity collusion or physical collusion, very few studies have been done after the occurrence. Therefore, in this paper a new index named Capacity Collusion Index (CCI) is presented to evaluate the collusion between production units and is analyzed from a preventive point of view. Having an index on the issue of collusion between production units prevents the formation of collusion groups, and ISO can help prevent collusion in the electricity market by introducing new laws or changing the old rules of the market. |
