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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Renewable energy has had a steady growth in power systems worldwide. The high uncertainty about what type of renewable technology meets technical and economic variables of the energy markets and what could be the participation ...

The special issue editor chose as the central theme for this issue a long-term view of energy developments worldwide, reflecting the different conditions faced in different regions and focusing essentially on electricity ...

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 ...

Electricity transmission planning does not have a common solution worldwide, with most countries trusting on alternatives adapted to the local energy markets' regulatory regime. The fast-growing conditions of the Chilean ...
