The evolution of the Chilean energy matrix into a more sustainable system with high levels of energy sufficiency and security of supply in the long term brings with it important challenges in the way that investors and the ...

The application of marginal costing to transmission pricing in open access schemes requires the collection of a supplement to finance the transmission systems. The paper describes the application of marginal cost based ...

This paper explains the way in which the current U.S. electric system contains insufficient incentives for long-term investments in transmission. Moreover, it highlights some key issues that should be considered to improve ...

This paper presents a methodology to evaluate the reliability and to calculate interruption costs at the load bus level in the bulk power system (Hierarchical Level II). The method is based on a nonsequential Monte Carlo ...

A dynamic transmission planning methodology using a genetic algorithm is formulated for the purpose of determining an economically adapted electric transmission system in a deregulated open access environment. Transmission ...

Flexible AC transmission systems (FACTS) and their controllers are of great interest today. FACTS controllers can offer great opportunities in modern power system, allowing better and safer operation of the grid. Their ...

This article contributes to the discussion by assessing some general market and economic impacts of renewable generation in some electricity markets in Spain, Germany and Latin America. The need to diversify away from ...

Current electric power systems are experiencing a steady growth in renewable electricity generation and in energy consumption from electric vehicles (EV), involving a number of impacts on the system that increase with the ...

The implementation of auctions of long-term firm energy call options and forward contracts as part of the instruments adopted in emerging countries to ensure resource adequacy is discussed. These mechanisms are being ...

One of the major problems for the massive applicability of electric vehicles (EVs) is the scarce capacity of conventional electrical energy storage systems. Although this constraint has been overcome in many cases using ...
