The transmission networks are not perfect conductors and a percentage of the power generated is therefore lost before it reaches the loads. This network loss effects to the cost of suppling power to consumers, and must be considered if the most efficient dispatch and location of generators and loads is to be achieved. In this paper, we propose an approximate calculation of marginal loss factors to analyze characteristics of transmission loss of KEPCO power system. These static marginal loss factors are approximately calculated based on the KEPCO's expected summer peak load data of year 2000.

This paper presents a new approach for evaluating the transmission marginal loss factors (MLFs) considering the reactive power. Generally, MLFs are represented as the sensitivity of transmission losses, which is computed from the change of the generation at reference bus by the change of the load at the arbitrary bus-i. The conventional evaluation method for MLFs uses the only H matrix, which is a part of jacobian matrix. Therefore, the MLFs computed by the existing method, don't consider the effect of the reactive power, although the transmission losses are a function of the reactive power as well as the active power. To compensate the limits of the existing method for evaluating MLFs, the power factor at the bus-i is introduced for reflecting the effect of the reactive power in the evaluation method of the MLFs. Also, MLFs calculated by the developed method are applied to energy spot markets to reflect the impacts of reactive power. This method is tested with the sample system with 5-bus, and analyzed how much MLFs have an effect on the bidding/offer price, market clearing price(MCP), and settlement in the competitive energy spot market. This paper compared the results of MLFs calculated by the existing and proposed method for the IEEE 14-bus system, and the KEPCO system.

In the uniform price electricity market or bilateral electricity market, the energy transactions in which the network is not considered and ISO's system operation costs which ISO try to minimize are settled separately. In this paper, transmission loss, one of the ISO's system operation costs, was dealt. The conventional marginal loss allocation method gives economic signals but three aspects have to be considered; excessiveness, arbitrariness and cross-subsidy. In this paper, marginal loss compensation efficiency method was suggested which consider those aspects of the conventional marginal loss allocation method. Also the characteristics of the marginal loss compensation efficiency were analyzed in the appendixes. And simple 2-bus system and IEEE 14 bus system were used to explain these characteristics.

본 연구에서는 전력산업 구조개편 환경에서 최적조류계산에 의한 전력조류 및 한계계수를 해석할 수 있는 실용적인 방법론을 제시한다. 먼저, 유용한 한계계수의 산정을 위해 전압제약, 선로과부하 제약, 발전 출력 제약 등의 각종 계통제약이 고려된 연료비 및 송전손실 최소화의 비선형 최적화 문제가 정식화되고 비선형 주·쌍대 내점법에 의한 해법이 제시된다. 또한, 최적조류계산에 의해 계산된 감도에 기초하여 한계가격 및 한계송전손실의 산정방법이 제시된다. 특히, 경쟁적 전력시장에서 송전손실에 관한 가격을 반영하기 위해 한계손실계수의 해석법이 제안된다. 본 연구의 결과를 IEEE RTS 24모선에 적용하여 전력시장가격의 해석에 대한 그 유용성을 검증하였다.

This paper proposes a new method to handle transmission line losses using loss distribution factors (LDF) rather than marginal loss factors (MLF) in electricity market operation. Under a competitive electricity market, the bidding data are adjusted to reflect transmission line losses. To date the most proposed approach is using MLFs. The MLFs are reflected to bidding prices and market clearing price during the trading and settlement of the electricity market. In the proposed algorithm, the LDFs are reflected to bidding quantities and actual generations/ loads. Computer simulations on a 9-bus sample system will verify the effectiveness of the algorithm proposed. Moreover, the proposed approach using LDFs does not make any payments residual while the approach using MLFs induces payments residual.

The transmission networks do not consist of perfect conductors and a percentage of the power generated is therefore lost before it reaches the loads. Since this network loss contributes to the cost of suppling power to consumers, it must be considered that the most efficient dispatch and location of generators and loads are to be achieved. In this paper, marginal loss factors are calculated for 12 load levels that represent the impact of marginal network losses on nodal prices at the transmission network connection points at which generators are located. Based on comparison analysis of marginal loss factors on 12 load levels, we found the MLF characteristics in KOREA.

This paper presents a new algorithm to determine accurate bus-wise transmission loss allocation utilizing path-integrals dictated by the transaction strategy. For any transaction strategy, the total sum of the allocated transmission losses of all buses is equal to the actual loss given by the AC power-flow calculation considering the distributed slack. In this paper, the bus-wise allocation of the transmission loss is calculated by integrating the differential loss along a path determined by the transaction strategy. The proposed algorithm is also compared with Galiana's method, which is the well-known transmission loss allocation algorithm based on integration. The performance of the proposed algorithm is evaluated by case studies carried out on the WSCC 9-bus, IEEE 14-bus, New England 39-bus, and IEEE 118-bus systems. The simulation results show that the proposed algorithm is fast and accurate with a large step size.

Marginal Loss Factor(MLF) is represented as the sensitivity of transmission loss, which is computed from the change of the generation at slack bus by the change of the load at the arbitrary bus. The MLF dependent on the selection of slack bus is one of the key factors affecting nodal pricing, Genco's profits, social welfare(SW) and Nash Equilibrium in a competitive electricity market. This paper addresses the methodology of slack bus selection by using Cournot model of Cost Based Pool market. Numerical results from sample cases show that the slack bus of MLF of the highest average is beneficial from the view points of SW.

Transmission Loss Factor (TLF) is one of the key factors affecting transmission pricing which should capture the intrinsic characteristics of competitive electricity markets and be amenable to the agreement of the market participants. This paper proposes a practical methodology which enhances the utility and applicability of TLF which is vulnerable to the choice of slack bus, computation methodologies, and incremental generation (or incremental load). The proposed methodology is demonstrated with a case study.

This paper presents a buswise transmission loss allocation algorithm utilizing the transaction strategy. We prove that whatever calculated by any transaction strategy, the total of the allocated transmission losses of each bus, including no-load loss allocation, almost equals the total loss of AC power flow algorithm and the loss is perfectly slackbus-independent. In this paper, the allocated transmission losses of each bus is calculated by the method of integrating loss sensitivities using by the load level parameter ${\lambda}$. The performance of the proposed algorithm is evaluated by the case studies carried out on the WSCC 9-bus and IEEE 14-bus systems.
