Probabilistic Method for Transmission System Pricing Considering Intermittence of Wind Power Sources

This work presents a new probabilistic methodology for cost allocation of transmission systems, considering the intermittency of the wind power source. The proposed algorithm inserts a nodal transmission pricing scheme in a chronological simulation environment, which allows analyzing the behavior of transmission charges against the variable power output of a wind power plant. The aim is to calculate an equivalent tariff for each market participant taking into account the systems operational reality. The proposed method is applied to the IEEE RTS considering a modified configuration with insertion of a wind power plant.
