Fixed Transmission Charges Based on the Degree of Network Utilization

The core objective of transmission tariffs is the recovery costs related to transport electricity. A usual component a tariff fixed charge that covers network infrastructure. As many customers use power grid, rate this should reflect, as closely possible, actual supplying energy individual consumers. These result from which elements have been used in delivering electricity, and what extent these used. Therefore, rates depend on degree utilization. This article investigates definitions utilization based active flow. To calculate utilization, flow electricity branch must be decomposed into streams flowing customers. For decomposition, two methods are examined: tracing method, proportional sharing principle, an incremental superposition principle. analyzed methodology applied small test system for conceptual discussions, well Polish system, example practical application. results study were then compared with commonly “postage stamp” method. Finally, several aspects potential implementation presented discussed.
