Abstract

Open access is gaining attention in countries that desire to introduce competition into traditional cost-of-service regulated utilities. The operation of the electric utility industry in an open access environment poses an increased level of complexity and uncertainty on behalf of both the transmission operating entity and generators and loads. This paper is discussing important issues related to transmission open access, system operation and ancillary services. Examples from the Norwegian system will be discussed
