During the past years, liberalisation of electricity sectors in many countries has taken place, changing significantly the general framework. A subject of increasing interest is the access of market actors to the transmission network and the remuneration of realised wheeling transactions. Various pricing methodologies have been discussed extensively and are now adopted inhomogeneously by different countries. This presentation gives a survey of the existing models and their advantages and disadvantages. It examines the impact of wheeling transactions on the state of the transmission system. Furthermore, it agrees to the treatment of losses and deviations from the scheduled energy. For this purpose, an object-oriented software-package presented in earlier papers for operation, simulation and analysis of electrical energy systems is used.

In this paper, graph theory is used to analyze real power transfer between individual generators and loads, which is important to transmission open access. Related lemmas are proved first to present necessary conditions required by the method. Based on an AC load flow solution a novel method is suggested which can determine downstream and upstream power flow tracing paths and calculate the contribution factors of generations and loads to the line flows efficiently in the system without circulating power. When the existence of circulating power in the system is detected, by revealing the reasons which cause circulating power, the optimal power flow (OPF) approach is suggested to eliminate it and a new feasible AC load flow solution will be obtained for tracing. The computer tests yield satisfactory results. The suggested method is suitable for both active and reactive power flow tracings of real power systems.

This paper describes a decision support system (DSS) based on an expert system (ES), which aids the user to select feasible projects among a strategic portfolio supplied by a dynamic simulator. The purpose of developing a DSS embedded in an ES structure, is to search for the modelling of the decision-maker rather than the decision process. Thus, the ES stores not only the expertise of the utility engineers, but some knowledge about the company goals. The dynamic simulator (DS) was developed by using the system dynamics paradigm, allowing the simulation of investment policies, taking into account the dynamic behavior of the involved variables and assuming that the decisions are taken continuously, leading to continuous actions. The proposed DSS is integrated with a strategic database (SDB), which contains information about competitors, regulatory system, special consumers and the energy wholesale market in general, forming an integrated computational system. The ES manages the integration between the DSS and the SDB, retrieving the information necessary to the simulation in progress.

In the deregulated power industry, questions such as: Who is responsible for the reactive power compensation?; Are the reactive power service providers, especially generation owners, entitled to get paid to recover their costs?; Do consumers need to pay for reactive power loads?; What roles should generators play in reactive power compensation?; etc., are often raised. This paper intends to provide answers by means of examples. This proposal suggests that the reactive power compensations are made by distribution and transmission companies and the generator reactive power capacities are reserved for contingencies. The reactive power compensation at distribution level is to keep load site power factor near unity. The transmission companies need to provide the required reactive power to ensure the proper power delivery in transmission network under normal conditions. Generators operate nearly at unity power factor under normal conditions. For contingencies, generators are responsible for the additional reactive power requirements.

On the basis of the increasing importance of the exchange of electrical energy between partners in an interconnected power system, the use of FACTS devices to control power transits is examined. The exact derivation of the necessary control values for the FACTS devices is presented with generally valid equations especially for long lines and weakly meshed power systems. The important influence of the available reactive power is also discussed for these cases. Finally various transeuropean transit scenarios are examined in a model of the eastern European power system. Nonconducted power transits are compared with the direct and the indirect conduction method and the results of load flow calculations allow an assessment of these methods of conducting power transits.

A real time pricing (RTP) system is implemented in more and more countries. For customers, there exist some factors, which affect the benefits that can be obtained under the RTP system. One of these factors is the load forecast. Thus, a method of using the fuzzy logic technique for the customers to forecast load under the RTP system is proposed in this paper. Some digital simulation studies and related analyses are presented.

This paper presents an expert system developed for a distribution company with the intention of helping the engineer responsible for the requests for equipment outage for preventive maintenance or network expansion. Usually, in order to decide whether these requests should be approved or not, the engineer verifies the possibility of transferring the load during outage considering constraints, such as which and what kind of consumers will be affected by the service, and whether they should be warned about the interruption, or if the timing is inadequate for them, etc.. The support of an intelligent system will allow the engineer to consider many other aspects, for instance, whether it is possible to join two requests in one interruption and, specially, to monitor the reliability indices of the area when the service under analysis is performed. The main objective is to minimise the frequency and duration of interruptions for preventive maintenance avoiding penalties from the regulatory agency.

FACTS devices such as thyristor controlled series compensators and thyristor controlled phase angle regulators, by controlling the power flows in the network, can help to reduce the flows in heavily loaded lines resulting in an increased loadability of the network and reduced cost of production. Congestion management using FACTS devices requires a two step approach. First, the optimal location of these devices in the network must be ascertained and then, the settings of their control parameters optimised. This paper presents the development of simple and efficient models for optimal location of FACTS devices that can be used for congestion management by controlling their parameters optimally. Three different objectives have been considered and the results are compared. The effectiveness of the purposed methods is demonstrated on a 5-bus system and a 75-bus Indian system.

Successful operation and bidding in the competitive electricity marketplace requires well-planned strategies. The appropriate strategy is dependent on the state of the system. Much data (including time series) is available, and a proper analysis of this data can provide insight in choosing the right strategies. Traditional data analysis techniques can be time consuming. Techniques that quickly analyze the data can assist in forecasting price and demand and identifying the present state of the market, which should help the savvy trader in reacting intelligently to the market before its competitors. Advanced data analysis techniques may reveal patterns in the data that may be very helpful in forecasting demand or price. This paper compares several techniques that may help in identifying useful patterns in relevant time series data. These patterns are keys or leading indicators of future electric utility price or demand of electricity. The importance of quickly identifying these signals will increase as competition increases. The techniques being investigated are Fourier and Hartley transforms, line spectrum analysis using both Fourier transforms and Hartley transforms.

In this paper, the problem of optimal demand allocation in deregulated California energy markets is studied. Recently, this commodity has been deregulated into multiple time sequential markets, known as the block forward, the PX day-ahead and day off, and the ISO real-time energy markets. After deregulation, energy purchasers have to purchase energy on an hourly basis. It is challenging to allocate demand in the above energy markets in an optimal fashion. By using a stochastic dynamic programming technique in this study, the problem is resolved and an optimal solution is obtained. The authors derive the optimal demand allocation criterion. With the optimal allocation measurement, it is possible to provide efficient algorithms to divide demand at these time sequential markets.
