Abstract

The electric power industries in Korea are launched into deregulation by introducing the CBP(Cost Based Pool), where generation sector of KEPCO was divided into six generation companies and the other sectors of KEPCO remains vertically integrated system. In deregulated market, participants are concerned with maximization of their profit rather than minimization of system-wide costs. Consequently, there are difficulties in applying the cost minimization for the scheduling of generation resources to CBP, because of the operation of pumped-storage hydroplants. This paper presents an operation method of pumped storage hydroplants which is helpful for the economic operation of power system considering the market in the CBP.
