<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in"><span style="color:#0E101A;mso-ligatures:none">We focus on the electricity market and examine how the competition between different resources, such as traditional generators, energy storage, and hybrid resources,
affects market efficiency. We first consider the participation of conventional resources in a two-stage market, i.e., day-ahead and real-time settlement. Although designed to allocate resources efficiently, price manipulation by strategic participants can undermine
these goals. To address price manipulation, some markets have proposed system-level market power mitigation policies, which substitute noncompetitive bids with default bids based on estimated generation costs. Using equilibrium analysis, we illustrate that
such a policy in the day-ahead stage is more robust to price manipulations than in real-time, which may lead to non-equilibriumsolutions. </span><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:#212121;mso-ligatures:none"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in"><span style="color:#0E101A;mso-ligatures:none">We then study emerging technologies and analyze how their integration affects market efficiency. We first analyze the participation of energy storage. Our analysis
indicates that the existing participation mechanism, where storage bids power in a market, may diminish market benefits due to its unique operational characteristics, e.g., the operating cost depends on charge-discharge cycles, unlike conventional generators.
We propose a novel market mechanism based on an energy </span><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:#212121;mso-ligatures:none"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in"><span style="color:#0E101A;mso-ligatures:none">cycling function that maps cycle depth to per-cycle prices. We next study the participation of hybrid resources combining energy storage and renewable energy sources.
We benchmark the performance of two types of market models: a granular model and an integrated model. Our analysis shows that granular models lead to lower operating costs but add computational complexity, which may not be desirable from the operators perspective.
Though less computationally intensive, integrated models result in more intervals violating the physical limits of constituent energy storage.</span><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:#212121;mso-ligatures:none"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
