Dennis,

Thanks. I have seen some of the papers you mentioned but missed one about
discriminative auctions.

Dear Mr.  Kaminski,
 
I don't know if  you've seen this, but I thought it may be of interest to  you.
A new document has been added to PSerc Document  Archive:
Western States Power Crisis: White  Paper
EPRI
You can view this document by going to:http://www.pserc.wisc.edu/ecow/get/publicatio/specialepr/westernstatessynthesi1.pdf
There are a number of documents from PSERC researchers  that have also been uploaded toour website (www.p << File: http://www.pserc.wisc.edu/ecow/get/publicatio/specialepr/westernstatessynthesi1.pdf >> serc.wisc.edu << File: http://www.pserc.wisc.edu >> ). You can find the  documents in the Publications << File: http://www.pserc.wisc.edu/ecow/get/publicatio/ >>  folders.  You may be particularly interested in the following new  additions:Testing the Performance of Uniform Price and  Discriminative Auctions << File: http://www.pserc.wisc.edu/ecow/get/publicatio/2001public/rutgers_tim2.pdf >> .  This paper reports on a series of  laboratory experiments to assess the performance of different electric power  markets with respect to price volatility and average market prices.An Engineering Approach to Monitoring Market Power in  Restructured Markets for Electricity << File: http://www.pserc.wisc.edu/ecow/get/publicatio/2001public/houstoniaee.pdf >> . This paper  explores the potential for using an engineering approach to measure the  existence of market power in the real-time operations of a power grid and gives  the results of two experiments designed to test the exercise of market  power.
We've also updated the  descriptive information about PSERC. That information is in the General  Information About PSERC  << File: http://www.pserc.wisc.edu/ecow/get/generalinf/aboutpserc/ >> folder.
I am sorry you weren't  able to join us at our last Industrial Advisory Board meeting. You and others  from ENRON are certainly invited to our next meeting which will be December 5-7,  2001 in College Station, TX, hosted by Texas A&M and TXU. We'll send you  more information when it is available.
Dennis
