Power systems are generally separated into transmission use-of-tariff (TUoT) zones to simplify the tariff mechanism, particularly for large grids. Each zone is an aggregation of neighboring nodes with similar tariffs that are determined based on long-run marginal cost (LRMC) calculations. This paper proposes a zoning methodology which ensures diversification of zonal tariffs while geographically aggregating the nodal TUoTs by weighted average approach. Investment cost-related pricing (ICRP) and DC-load-flow pricing (DCLFP) methods are utilized in computing the LRMC based nodal tariffs. Performance of the LMRC based pricing methods, sensitivity of the economical parameters on the results, and the proposed zoning approach are investigated for a simple 12-bus generic power system. Given the satisfactory results, TUoT zones of Turkish power network are determined with the proposed zoning algorithm for the tariff period of 2012-2014.

A medium-power current source converter (CSC)-based shunt active power filter (APF) system is designed and implemented to suppress the amplification of low-order harmonics at the medium-voltage (MV) interface bus between the distribution and transmission systems, owing to the presence of large shunt capacitor banks installed only for reactive power compensation. Four CSC-based APF modules designed at 1.0 kV are operated in parallel and connected to the 31.5-kV MV bus via a specially designed coupling transf...
The Effect of the Types of Network Topologies on Non-Technical Losses in Secondary Electric Distribution Systems
Yorukoglu, Sinan; Nasibov, Fuad; Mungan, Mehmet; Bağrıyanık, Mustafa (2016-05-05)
A portion of generated electrical power is lost in transmission and distribution systems while serviced to endusers. These losses are called technical and non-technical losses in electricity distributions systems. With privatization processes taken place over the world, huge debate arose regarding nontechnical losses. In this study, information about types of losses in distribution systems, privatization process in Turkish electricity distribution network and current loss percentages are given. Possible alt...
Improved Wind Power Forecasting Using Combination Methods

Integration of the wind power into the existing transmission grid is an important issue due to discontinuous and volatile behavior of wind. Moreover, the power plant owners need reliable information about day-ahead power production for market operations. Therefore, wind power forecasting approaches have been gaining importance in renewable energy research area. The Wind Power Monitoring and Forecast System for Turkey (RITM) currently monitors a growing number of wind power plants in Turkey, and uses wind po...
Proposed structure for a HTS generator for direct drive offshore wind turbines
Burchell, Joseph; Keysan, Ozan; Mueller, Markus (2014-01-01)
The drive for larger offshore turbines with greater outputs is curtailed by the physical size of the generator and the ability to install devices in remote areas with often changeable weather conditions. High Temperature Superconducting (HTS) machines offer the technology able to replace large Direct Drive Permanent Magnet (DDPM) generators with more compact machines. However some theoretical HTS designs often neglect the practicality of the physical support structure required to tolerate the huge magnetic ...
A new model for distributed mems transmission lines
Topalli, K; Unlu, M; Sagkol, H; Demir, S; Aydın Çivi, Hatice Özlem; Koc, S; Akın, Tayfun (2004-06-26)
This paper presents a new model for the distributed MEMS transmission line (DMTL) structure where the MEMS bridges that are placed periodically on a high-impedance transmission line are represented as low-impedance transmission lines, rather than a lumped CLR circuit. The model includes LC networks at the transition point from high-impedance to low-impedance lines to account for the effects of discontinuity. The accuracy of the model is verified with measurements on three types of DMTLs that are fabricated ...
