Abstract :
Two methods that provide geographically differentiated transmission usage tariffs, based on the long-run marginal cost of transmission, are presented and compared: investment cost-related pricing and the DC load flow pricing. The basic assumptions and approximations behind their design are analysed. Very efficient implementations of both methods, based on sensitivity analysis, are presented. Both methods are applied to the computation of transmission usage tariffs in the Greek power system, and the resulting tariffs are compared
