Transmission Pricing Practices: A Case Study

Abstract

This paper presents a case study on transmission pricing practices. Now a days, restructuring of the power system market through deregulation is gaining attention as technical and economical benefits at generator and user. In India, after the Electricity Act 2003, restructuring has been introduced in the Indian power system market. Researchers are continuously working towards improvement of deregulation based on restructuring to improve transmission pricing practices and calculations in a better way. Therefore, this paper presents an overview of MW- Mile and postage stamp methods to estimate the transmission cost. Further, the North Indian practical power system of 37 bus test system has been analyzed by reverse, absolute and dominant Mw-Mile methods. The results obtained to be expected for deregulated power market.
