Defining real economical price of electricity for customers at the low voltage distribution level presents main problem due to a lack of data related to daily load diagram. Fuzzy logic and fuzzy c-means clustering was applied to development of a model for consumers' classification. Obtained results could be used as an input for more realistic calculation of cost for electrical energy consumption of customers in household category. Additionally, the difference in calculation of electricity consumption cost based on the obtained values from proposed model and on current tariff system in Bosnia and Herzegovina is discussed.","PeriodicalId":143375,"journal":{"name":"2011 8th International Conference on the European Energy Market (EEM)","volume":"45 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-05-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127370397","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The second part of the paper provides a summary of a legislative analysis of the evolving approach to the financial regulation of EEM conducted in a related paper.

We analyze the case of Norway and the Netherlands as a main balancing market integration case in Northern Europe and investigate the possible effect of enabling BSP-TSO trading (as one step towards full balancing market integration) between these countries on the performance of the two individual markets.

The assessment, focused on security of supply (in terms of energy not supplied), competitiveness (electricity production costs) and sustainability (CO2 emissions), showed that the “proposed expansion” is clearly sub-optimal, since in the “optimal expansion” case several interconnections are expanded significantly more.","PeriodicalId":143375,"journal":{"name":"2011 8th International Conference on the European Energy Market (EEM)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-05-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130791999","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

By means of the Monte Carlo technique, several system states are simulated, varying the power injection of DG. The load flow solution is performed by the Newton-Raphson method and a distributed slack bus formulation is adopted, in order to distribute the active power mismatch (created by the random generation) on all the thermal units in the system. Tests are carried out both on a small system and on the Italian network. Results lead to conclude that the probabilistic approach to the power system analysis provides more indications than the traditional deterministic techniques, especially considering a high penetration of DG.","PeriodicalId":143375,"journal":{"name":"2011 8th International Conference on the European Energy Market (EEM)","volume":"47 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-05-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130638025","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

On the one hand, hourly demand curves are usually simplified into a reduced set of non-chronological demand levels, each one representing hours with similar demand values. On the other hand, individual generation units are condensed into technologies grouping their costs curves by similarity in different appropriated technological cost mappings. This paper proposes several novel Mixed Integer Programming models to solve these two curve-fitting problems when the approximating function is a Piece-Wise Linear Function. By means of two real cases study it shows that the approximation approach has real applicability since it does not significantly compromise the traditional system representation.","PeriodicalId":143375,"journal":{"name":"2011 8th International Conference on the European Energy Market (EEM)","volume":"14 10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-05-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123731734","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The study is focussed on the release of appliances that possess a certain new property, in the present case a communication interface for “Smart Grid” applications such as sophisticated load management methods. Understanding the introduction dynamics is particularly relevant for estimating the amount of installed load management compatible household appliances and the available control potential in a given year in the future, which is essential for “Smart Grid” business model development. Due to the relatively long life span of household appliances, it can be shown that it takes up to several decades to achieve a complete replacement of the conventional appliance stock in the absence of additional measures. The focus of the paper is on methodology and application of stock models describing the number of appliances “in the field” over time. Different approaches depending on the availability of input data are illustrated and the effect of additional measures, such as replacement incentives, is evaluated. Results are given for the Swiss market of refrigerators, freezers, and heat pumps.","PeriodicalId":143375,"journal":{"name":"2011 8th International Conference on the European Energy Market (EEM)","volume":"45 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-05-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121680898","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
