Distance based Power flow based (several variant such as MM, DFM, ZCF)

Incremental Transmission Pricing Paradigm

Long/Short Run Incremental/Marginal

Composite embedded / incremental transmission Pricing Paradigm

Comparison of different methods in Transmission Pricing Paradigm

Postage Stamp Method ++ Simple, familiar, most widely used in developing market -- insensitive to distance & direction Zonal Postage Stamp Method ++ sensitive to distance and direction -- complex, difficult to implement, load flow condition varies with dispatch scenario

Contract Path Methodology ++ Sensitive to distance -- provides wrong economic signal, based on fictitious path, power flow on parallel path is ignored
22 7/18/2012 POWERGRID

COMPARISON OF DIFFERENT METHODS IN TRANSMISSION PRICING PARADIGM

Distance Based MW-Mile Methodology
++ Simple, sensitive to distance -- based on physical distance, not on actual power flow

Power Flow Based MW- Methodology ( MM/ DFM/ZCF)/Power Tracing

++ sensitive to distance, takes planning and usage of network in consideration -- issue of net vs absolute power flow, absolute ignores directional sensitiveness, varies with dispatch scenario

Point tariff, Nodal Pricing or Locational Marginal Pricing (LMP)

++Provides economic signals, suitable for developed/saturated market -- complex, not suitable for developing market, losses forms the part of transmission pricing, based on MWh not on MW.

SPECIFIC CHARGES
Charges thus determined to the extent of approved injection/withdrawal for each DIC In the event of a Designated ISTS Customer failing to provide its requisition for demand or injection for an Application Period, the last demand or injection forecast supplied by the DIC and as adjusted by the Implementing Agency for Load Flow Analysis shall be deemed to be Approved Withdrawal or Approved Injection In case the metered MWs (ex-bus) of a power station or the aggregate demand of a Designated ISTS Customer exceeds, in any time block, (a) In case of generators: The Approved Injection + Approved Additional Medium Term Injection + Approved Short Term Injection or; (b) In case of demand customers: The Approved Withdrawal + Approved Additional Medium Term Withdrawal + Approved Short Term Demand, Additional charges would be applicable for deviation

SPECIFIC CHARGES
For deviation > 20% in any time block, the DIC shall be required to pay transmission charges for excess generation @ 25% above the zonal POC charges determined for zone where the Designated ISTS Customer is physically located
Such additional charges would not be applicable in case:: Rescheduling of the planned maintenance program which is beyond the control of the generator Certified by RPC Payment on account of additional charges for deviation by the generator shall not be charged to its long term customer and shall be payable by the generator

HVDC line flow regulated by power order.

Indirect Method for HVDC Cost Allocation

Compute Transmission Charges for all load and generators with all HVDC lines in service. Disconnect HVDC line and again compute new transmission charges for all loads and generators Compute difference between nodal charges with or without HVDC. Identify nodes which benefits with the presence of HVDC[Benefit = (old cost i.e. base case with injection from Talchar Kolar) minus (new usage cost i.e. with link disconnected)] In case benefit ve same to be collared to zero Allocate HVDC line cost to the identified nodes.
