Data has been used to test the method based on a simplified energy market, and for a given set of offers, the testing result demonstrates significant potential savings for electricity consumers if the MCP payment cost minimization is implemented in the ISO/RTO electricity markets. More importantly, this paper addresses economic implications of the objective function choice, including whether maximizing social welfare should be one of objectives of electricity industry deregulation. We conclude that an objective to maximize social welfare, even if it were determined to be desirable, is not achievable based on current bidding rules after moving from traditional vertically integrated utilities to a market approach, and is certainly not achieved by the offer cost minimization approach in use today. Other implications such as the inconsistency between the actual payment and the cost function minimized, and bidding behaviors are also discussed","PeriodicalId":267582,"journal":{"name":"2006 IEEE Power Engineering Society General Meeting","volume":"23 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-10-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133580908","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}

With the advances in renewable energy sources, distributed generation (DG), is forecasted to increase in distribution networks. This paper presents a new methodology that can be used to quantitatively analyze the reliability of such distribution systems and can be applied in preliminary planning studies for such systems. The method uses a sequential Monte Carlo simulation of the distribution system's stochastic model to generate the operating behavior. This is combined with a path augmenting Max flow algorithm to evaluate the load status for each state change of operation in the system. Overall system and load point reliability indices such as hourly loss of load, frequency of loss of load and expected energy unserved can be computed using this technique.

Taking a variable speed cage machine wind generation system as the case study, in this paper a nonlinear state space model is developed first and then linearized. As the wind speed changes randomly, the parameters of the equivalent linear model also change to track these changes. Results of simulation studies show that the linearized model matches well with the original nonlinear state space model.

The first step toward increasing the role of market forces in managing transmission system operations is to develop the role of locational price signals to direct the actions of market participants toward outcomes that improve operations when congestion occurs on the bulk power grid. In this overall perspective, we need to thoroughly investigate how best it would be to send an adequately accurate locational price signal with the congestion costs incorporated into the transmission pricing rule when the electricity market is not unduly maintained.

The novel device consists of a double-fed induction machine (DFIM) and a voltage-source pulse width modulation (PWM) rectifier-inverter used as an AC exciter. By changing the speed of the rotating machine, the kinetic energy stored in the rotor with the flywheel was changed and this is performed by a rectifier-inverter AC exciter. With an appropriate control strategy, it is able to realize an independent active and reactive power exchanging between the FPC and connected power system. Similar to that of the superconducting magnetic energy storage (SMES) used for power system stability enhancement, the FPC can be used to improve the stability of power system as well as the quality of power supply. Additional advantage of the FPC over the SMES based device is that it is easy to develop and to operate. Therefore, the cost will be greatly reduced. In order to increase performance of the proposed device, an improved stator flux linkage orientated control strategy for FPC is proposed in the paper. Simulation result of applying the proposed device in a two-machine and an infinite bus system shows that the proposed control provides excellent dynamic characteristics.
