“…Hence, distribution network service providers (DNSPs) and regulators in most jurisdictions are challenged with the tasks of designing efficient tariffs that are reflective of network cost drivers [1]. Recent studies in this area have explored different methods for distribution network pricing, including transmission network pricing methodologies, such as Locational Marginal Pricing (LMP), Postage Stamp (PS), MW-Mile, MVA-Mile, Average Participation (AP), and Marginal Participation (MP) [2][3][4][5][6], Ramsey-Boiteux pricing, cooperative game theory or other extemporaneous cost allocation methodologies. However, in order to establish the performance of these methods with respect to established tariff design principles [7], which includes cost reflectiveness, efficiency, stability and fairness, we need to define a measure (benchmark) of overall performance, with which to compare existing methods.…”
