Electricity industry restructuring in both the United Kingdom and the United States failed to produce the expected lower prices to consumers, and the industry now is reverting to regulatory-like mechanisms to attract capital for the construction of new power plants. This analysis focuses on factors, unanticipated by system-analysts and policy-makers, which may be responsible for these outcomes.
The present deregulated electricity industry has evolved into a distributed and competitive industry in which market forces drive the price of electricity and reduce the net cost of electricity. However the competitions in these markets require identification of the use of transmission networks, mainly the participation of utilities in losses caused in the transmission lines. This is because the consumers...
This paper articulates the factors primarily responsible for rapid growth of Captive Power Plants (CPPs) in Bangladesh. It also focuses on how natural gas has become the top energy source for these CPPs. Effects of inefficient use of natural gas and associated problems in CPPs are also discussed in brief. A detailed study on gas based captive power generation in Bangladesh may reveal some ways to...
Wind energy is the second largest renewable energy source of electricity (RES-E) generation in the EU. Despite the strategic energy plans, such as the new feed-in tariff scheme and other formal rules, Finland's installed wind power capacity (197 MW) and its share in the gross electricity consumption (0.5%) belongs to the lowest in the EU27. The paper investigates the reasons behind the sluggish growth...
Imbalances in generation and demand locality in the German power market give rise to seemingly unfair grid cost allocations: few customers in wind-rich north-east Germany pay a major share of the costs of transmitting power to customers in the south. This development has prompted demands for billing the extend of grid usage — i.e., a customer's costs should be lower when procuring ‘local’ power than...
This Restructuring and deregulation of the electricity industry is a movement with the aim of achieving lower prices to customers through cost savings. The deregulation of electric power systems in many parts of the world has changed the mechanism of electricity pricing. India is in the processing on restructuring in power sector. Power planning will play an important role in the successful power...
In order to enhance energy security while reducing environmental impact, the government of Thailand has established policy to develop domestic energy resources to increase energy stability and to sufficiently meet the future demand. Aiming to achieve a 20% share of renewable energy by 2022 according to the 15-Year Renewable Energy Development Plan (REDP), it is necessary to work out a plan to explore...
The paper describes some trends in electric power industry in Germany in view of potential competition in electricity generation. Some conclusions on the possible trends and risks are made.
Recent years China has made rapid progress in wind power industry and is almost top of the world. According to policy analysis and cost analysis, this paper aimed at finding out influence factors of wind power industry development. Using the data from 1985 to 2008, Ordinary least squares (OLS) regression is applied to empirically analyze the above factors, and then find out the significant factors...
This paper explains the way in which the current U.S. electric system contains insufficient incentives for long-term investments in transmission. Moreover, it highlights some key issues that should be considered to improve these investment incentives. The paper shows that, under the current U.S. transmission system, independent merchant investors, transmission rights' holders, and generation firms...
This paper considers the potentials of gas-fired cogeneration systems for the industries in Peninsular Malaysia. Analyses were done to find an optimal size of cogeneration plant according to the customers demand profile. A tool was used to determine the financial feasibility of the optimal plant and sensitivity analysis were done to study the impact of the variations of factors such as fuel prices...
Remarkable increase of agricultural load due to concentrative irrigation arrangement will consume a large amount of energy and impact the operation of power system. Traditional waterwheels require wind and water being together and can only deal with surface water, as will be unpractical in many areas. An irrigation system applying wind power generation is proposed. Wind energy is converted to electric...
Deregulation of the electricity industry aims at creating a competitive market to trade electricity, which generates a host of new technical challenges to market participants and power system researchers. One of the major challenge is to accurately gauge the transfer capability remaining in the system for further transactions, which is termed available transfer capability (ATC). There are different...
This paper presents the history of electric power during the 1885-1965 period that is remembered by very few. It was a period in which coordination and cooperation between companies and among the engineers involved led to great progress.
An overview of the development of wind turbines, water pumping and electric generation, in Latin America is given. There are a number of regions with average windspeeds above 5 m/s, however the greatest wind energy potential is in Southern Argentina. The market potential is large, but substantial barriers impede the use of wind energy for generating electricity.
