Alternative for Allocate to Generators the Payments for the Use of the Electrical Transmission Systems : Application to the Peruvian Electricity Market

Abstract

In Peru, the distribution of the payments allocated to the electric generators by the use of the Secondary Transmission Systems (SST) and the Complementary Transmission Systems (SCT) is based on the Use - Electric Distance method. This method was adopted in order to reflect the direction of the power flow produced by each generator in the elements of the transmission system as a result of applying the superposition theorem or superposition principle of electrical circuits. However, the distribution of the payment obtained for some elements of the Peruvian transmission system differs largely from that which would be obtain by applying the superposition principle. This work proposes a distribution alternative based on the use of Generalized Generation Distribution Factors (GGDF) that gets results equal to those obtained applying the superposition theorem.
