In electricity markets, capacity cost must be determined in order to make capacity trading. In this thesis, capacity cost and the factors deriving the capacity cost are studied. First, fixed capacity cost of power plants is examined. Direct and indirect costs of fixed capacity cost are detailed with respect to different types of power plants and the impact of these factors to the capacity cost is given. Second, interconnection and system utilization costs of transmission and distribution system are considered in order to simulate energy flow from the producer to the customer. Finally, a capacity cost calculation program is practiced. By the help of this program, capacity cost of power plants is figured out, different cases are compared and the main factors affecting the capacity cost are discussed in detail.

Stochastic modeling of electricity markets Talaslı, İrem; Hayfavi, Azize; Department of Financial Mathematics (2012) Day-ahead spot electricity markets are the most transparent spot markets where one can find integrated supply and demand curves of the market players for each settlement period. Since it is an indicator for the market players and regulators, in this thesis we model the spot electricity prices. Logarithmic daily average spot electricity prices are modeled as a summation of a deterministic function and multi-factor stochastic process. Randomness in the spot prices is assumed to be governed by three jump proce...
Price based unit commitment with reserve considerations Okuşluğ, Ali; Güven, Ali Nezih; Tör, Osman Bülent; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2013) In electricity markets of modern electric power systems, many generation companies, as major market participants, aim to maximize their profits by supplying the electrical load in a competitive manner. This thesis is devoted to investigate the price based unit commitment problem which is used to optimize generation schedules of these companies in deregulated electricity markets. The solution algorithm developed is based on Dynamic Programming and Lagrange Relaxation methods and solves the optimization probl...
Losses in electric distribution system Özel, Kerem; Özay, Nevzat; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2006) The purpose of this thesis is to examine the technical losses in Electric Distribution Systems, the sources of the losses, minimum levels of the losses, ways to decrease the losses and current applications in Turkey. The wrong and weak parts of the current applications are determined and emphasized. Ways to decrease losses in Distribution Systems are advised. The energy resources in the world are decreasing rapidly. There is a rapid growth in consumption. It is a must to use existing resources in most effic...
Day ahead markets Kütaruk, Kaan; Sevaioğlu, Osman; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2013) Day Ahead Market is a mechanism in electricity markets for adjusting the supply-demand energy and capacity balance by providing bids one day before the clearing. Market operator needs to know the available energy and capacity for reaching minimal-cost supply-demand balance one day earlier than the market has been cleared. Minimizing cost of the electricity and capacity during 24 hours of a day requires accurate information concerning the available electricity and capacity. Day-ahead marketing activity is pe...
Performance based ratemaking in electric distribution services Uğuz, Mustafa; Sevaioğlu, Osman; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2006) Regulation is one of the main elements in electric distribution services. The objective of the regulation is to maintain the balance between the rates and the service quality of electric distribution on behalf of both utilities and customers. In rapidly changing world the regulation regimes are also changing .In this thesis, an increasingly implemented regulation model in electric distribution, performance based ratemaking is studied. Its advantages and disadvantages, implementing methods and its quality ef...
