Computer-specific metrics for the regulation and load following ancillary services

摘要: In competitive electricity markets, the costs for each ancillary service should be charged to those who cause incurred with charges based on factors that contribute these costs. For example, amount of generating capacity assigned regulation is a function short-term volatility system load. Therefore, related load, not its average demand. This report discusses economic efficiency and equity benefits assessing basis customer-specific (rather than traditional billing determinants, MWh or MW), focusing two key real-power services, load following. The authors determine extent which individual customers groups system's generation requirements services. particular, they analyze data whether some account shares services differ substantially from their total consumption.
