A Comparison of Reactive Power Pricing Methods in Derugulated Markets

전력시장체제에서 무효전력 요금산정 방법론 비교

As the electric power industry has gone for a deregulated environment from a vertically integrated structure, operations and controls of systems invite new challenges. In the past certain activities, such as voltage and frequency control, were considered as a part of integrated power supply. But now, these become parts of ancillary services which are independent and detailed, and have situations non-disregardable for operation of systems. This paper examines a management of reactive power services adopted in deregulated foreign and domestic markets.
