Evaluation of the Marginal outage costs in generating systems using quantitative power system reliability techniques

摘要

Marginal outage costs are an important component of electricity spot prices. This paper describes a methodology based on quantitative power system reliability techniques for calculating these costs in generating systems. The proposed method involves the calculation of the incremental expected unserved energy at a given operating reserve and lead time and the multiplication of this value by the average cost of unserved energy of the generating system.
