Abstract
This paper presents a new framework for the day-ahead reactive power market based on the uniform auction price. Voltage stability and security have been considered in the proposed framework. Total Payment Function (TPF) is suggested as the objective function of the Optimal Power Flow (OPF) used to clear the reactive power market. Overload, voltage drop and voltage stability margin (VSM) are included in the constraints of the OPF. Another advantage of the proposed method is the exclusion of Lost Opportunity Cost (LOC) concerns from the reactive power market. The effectiveness of the proposed reactive power market is studied based on the CIGRÉ-32 bus test system.

Abstract
This paper presents a novel solution method for joint energy and Spinning Reserve (SR) dispatch problem. In systems in which the Lost Opportunity Cost (LOC) should be paid to generators, if the LOC is not considered in the dispatch problem, the results may differ from the truly optimum solution. Since the LOC is a non-differentiable function, including it in the formulation makes the problem solving process to be time-consuming and improper for real time applications. Here, the joint energy and SR dispatch problem considering the LOC in the objective function is reformulated as a Linear Programming (LP) problem which its solving process is computationally efficient. Also, with reliance on the performance of LP problem solving process, an iterative algorithm is proposed to overcome the self-referential difficulty arising from dependence of the LOC on the final solution. The IEEE 30-bus test system is used to examine the proposed solution method.
