Abstract: The time-sharing trading of mid to long-term electricity market is one of the important reform measures for China's electricity market. Aiming at the unreasonable and imperfect problem of current time-sharing trading price formation mechanism, a novel time-sharing trading price formation mechanism and model is proposed for China’s mid to long-term electricity market. Firstly, the paper analyzes the factors that influence China’s mid to long-term time-sharing trading prices, and puts forward four typical scenarios of mid to long-term power transaction. Then, considering the production cost and users’ utility, the paper proposes four cost pricing mechanisms suitable for mid to long-term market time sharing trading, including system average cost pricing, user value of lost load pricing, system marginal cost pricing and power generation company value of lost load pricing, and a time-sharing trading pricing model is proposed based on cost pricing mechanism. Finally, the validity of the model is verified through a case study of the actual data of H province.
