INTERCONNECTED CAPACITIES ALLOCATION USING TRANSMISSION COSTS ALLOCATION METHODS

Abstract

The interconnected capacity and transmission cost allocation is tackled in this paper. Two methods are involved: distribution factors and equivalent bilateral methods. For the beginning, the mathematical model, allocation methods and software tool are presented. In the following, a comparison between the two allocation methods is performed. Three power system operating conditions are analysed. Real large scale case study has been used. It has been modelled based on the Western, South-Western sides of the Romanian Power System. Useful results for interconnection capacities allocated to generators and their related cost have been provided.
