Development of TIF for Transaction Cost Allocation in Deregulated Power System

Abstract: In deregulated power system due to the increase of power transactions in transmission open access the transmission cost allocation is one of the major problems. For each transaction the Transaction Impact Factors (TIFs) are developed for the allocation of the transmission transaction costs. The transmission Impact Factor gives the information about the real power flow in the transmission lines with the transacted power. This logical method provides the impact of the line flows without running power flow solutions when the amount of transacted power changes in real time. This proposed method is evaluated by considering bilateral and multilateral transactions. The results coming from the proposed method is compared with Megawatt Modulus (MM) method on sample six bus and IEEE 30 bus system.
