One of the important issues in the major instantaneous power market is the formation of groups based on physical collusion and preventing the supply of electricity in the market. Productive units with the formation of collusive groups will ultimately lead to increase the price of wholesale electricity market. The strategic repair of production units and the transmission network can be collateralized and eventually increase the price of the electricity market. In this paper, a new index for evaluating the physical collusion of manufacturers is proposed, taking into account the limits of production and transmission and strategic maintenance, and is tested on the network of 30 and 118 buses of the IEEE.
