A Simple Distribution Energy Tariff under the Penetration of DG

Abstract

In a scenario where distributed generation infrastructure is increasing, the impact of that integration on electricity tariffs has captured particular attention. As the distribution sector is mainly regulated, tariff systems are defined by the authority. Then, tariffs must be simple, so the methodology, criteria, and procedures can be made public to ensure transparency and responsiveness of the customers to price signals. In the aim of simplicity, tariff systems in current practices mostly consist of volumetric charges. Hence, the reduction of the energy purchased from the distribution network jeopardizes the ability of the tariff system to ensure recovery of the total regulated costs. Although various works have captured this concern, most proposals present significant mathematical complexity, contrasting with the simplicity of current practices and limiting its regulatory applicability. This work develops a tariff system that captures the basic elements of distribution systems, trying to maintain the simplicity of current practices, ensuring recovery of the total regulated cost under the penetration of distributed generation, and incentivizing through price signals operational efficiency. A simulation will be presented to discuss numerical results.

“…Progress and a price reduction of the photovoltaic power generation technology are important research themes (1)(2)(3)(4)(5)(6)(7)(8). Then, it is splendid if the poisonous plant and the activated carbon can be used.…”

A Scheme for Position and Capacity Determination of Distributed Generation Considering Load Distribution and System Voltage Stability

“…As the concept of green development has entered and implemented in the field of electricity generation, DG has occupied an increasing proportion in electricity networks, and the research focus of domestic and foreign academic circles has shifted from centralized power generation to distributed power generation [1]. Due to the characteristics of DG [2,3], unreasonable DG access schemes not only waste resources, but also lower system operation security [4,5].…”

Análise De Desenhos Tarifários Em Sistemas Com Alta Inserção De Geração Distribuída

“…Sua pesquisa busca compreender a maneira de se comparar a estrutura tarifária do Brasil com a estrutura de outros países, como, por exemplo, Estados Unidos e China. Outro estudo relevante é a pesquisa elaborada por Javier Borquez, et al, (2020) [13], um grupo de pesquisadores da Universidadw de Santiago de Chile, onde é proposto um modelo tarifário simples, considerando os principais aspectos de custos da distribuição e também a inserção de geração distribuída no sistema.…”
