COST ALLOCATION OF TRANSMISSION SYSTEMS FOR REACTIVE POWER

Abstract

In this paper, the authors propose the compute of reactive power allocation considering their losses and their cost using the distribution factors method. The comparison is performed using Bialek method, based on a topological approach for determining the contributions of generators (consumers) to individual power flow through network elements. The case study refers to the 12 buses test power system, heaving 6 P-U buses and 9 P-Q buses.
