Abstract

Due to continuing trend towards deregulation and unbundling of transmission services, usage cost allocation has become critical. In a deregulated power system, it is usually required to determine the shares of each load and generation in line flows, to permit fair allocation of transmission costs between the interested parties. This paper presents a new methodology for allocating the cost of a transmission network to its users based on the superposition theorem. The suggested methodology has several desirable properties as it is flow based transmission cost allocation (TCA) method, requires only a simple knowledge of load Now and circuit theorems for its implementation; it is independent on the choice of the slack bus, it is straightforward to apply; depends on the real now; it is a physical- base technique; recognizes of counter-flows and transmission use charges that are stable and always positive. effectiveness of the proposed method has been established using both 4-bus system and IEEE 24 bus system and the results are compared with other available TCA techniques (Pro-rata, proportional sharing and equivalent bilateral exchange techniques).
