Reliability and Price Assessment and the Associated Risk Control for Restructured Power Systems

  • Chapter
Handbook of Performability Engineering

Abstract

Electric utilities are experiencing restructuring throughout the world. The reliability techniques used for conventional power systems cannot be directly applied in the new environment. Moreover, electricity pricing in a restructured power system has become a major problem due to the changes in market structure. This chapter addresses reliability and price issues in restructured power systems. A technique to evaluate nodal prices and nodal reliabilities considering the correlation between price and reliability in a restructured power system with the Poolco market model is developed. The reliability network equivalent and the improved optimal power flow model for evaluation of reliabilities and prices in a restructured power system with the hybrid market structure are presented. Moreover, a penalty schema for reducing electricity price volatility and improving customer reliabilities is also discussed.
