• Designs a novel multi-path-constrained inter-provincial transaction mechanism for inter-provincial path-specific clearing. • Formulates a clearing model for the proposed mechanism, integrating transmission security constrains with temporal coupling. • Develops a variable-step DQAM algorithm enabling temporal scalable parallel computation for efficient clearing. The inter-provincial medium- and long-term transaction (IPMLT) mechanism plays a key role in China’s power market by facilitating electricity delivery from generation-rich provinces to high-demand consumption provinces. However, two key challenges hinder its efficient implementation: (1) under the “one line, one price” policy, buyers incur different transmission tariffs and losses depending on their transaction paths, necessitating explicit path matching and bid adjustments in both quantity and price; and (2) the shift toward time-segmented clearing, which better aligns with spot market operations, imposes stricter physical realizability requirements that go beyond traditional available transfer capability (ATC) constraints. To address these challenges, we propose a Multi-Path-Constrained IPMLT (MPC-IPMLT) mechanism. It introduces path-specific centralized clearing by explicitly modeling buyer–seller-path relationships, accounting for transmission tariffs and losses, and embedding time-coupling constraints to reflect ramping limits across periods. A spatiotemporal clearing model is formulated to support this mechanis...
