Restructuring of electricity supply industry introduced the concept of deregulation After deregulation transmission cost allocationis a vital issue In the available literature various authors have presented different methods for allocation of transmission cost Thispaper presents the review of a variety of methods and algorithm based on the principle of power-flow tracing For a fair andequitable transmission charge allocation it is necessary to know the quantum of power flowing by each generator and load in lineflows Power flow tracing techniques are mainly based on the concepts of proportional sharing principle graph theory circuittheory (Z-bus tracing) optimization approach relative electrical distance concept Equilateral bilateral exchange (EBE) and gametheory This paper presents a comprehensive review of all the available literature on the above
1 Introduction
Restructuring of electricity supply industry (ESI) has takenplace around the world The main aim behind this restruc-turing is to introduce competition to increase efficiency andquality of services in the electricity supply industry Initiallypower sector operated as vertically integrated utility in whichall the functions are governed and controlled by state ownorganization After the restructuring deregulation and openaccess is introduced in the ESI Following deregulation theregulated structure of the ESI is converted into a deregulatedstructure in which all the three major functions are sepa-rated by three companies namely Generation Company Ltd(GENCOS) Transmission Company Ltd (TRANSCO) andDistribution Company Ltd (DISCOMS) Competition isintroduced in the entire system Various independent powerproducers IPPs come in the field of generationThey generatepower and sell to the Central Transmission Utility (CTU)or TRANSCO Competition is introduced in the distributionsector But it is difficult to introduce competition in the trans-mission sector due to itsmonopolistic nature In transmissionsector it is not possible to build a separate transmission linefor every generation facility Hence transmission cost alloca-tion is very complicated task in the deregulated environment
Several methodologies and their variants are presented tosolve this problem
The main aim of any transmission pricing methodologyis to introduce a fair competition in the electricity sectorand provide efficient economic signals Transmission pricingmethods are the overall processes of translating transmissioncosts into overall transmission charges Figure 1 presents thecharging strategy for transmission utility
The main transmission pricing methodologies are classi-fied as in Figure 2
Further the incremental pricing methods are subdividedinto categories as in Figure 3
Colombia UK and Brazil have used long run marginalcost (LRMC) methodology due to its easy implementation
Embedded Transmission Pricing Methods allocate theembedded system costs that is fixed cost among transmis-sion system users These methods can be classified as in Fig-ure 4
Selection of the slack bus greatly influenced the pricingmethodologies for example use of a fixed ldquoslack busrdquo is ade-quate in countries where most of the load is concentrated in asingle center such as the cities Buenos Aires (Argentina) andSantiago (Chile) Hence themarginal participationmethod isapplied in countries like Argentina Chile and Panama

In India themethod which is used so far is postage stampmethod But this method is not distance and direction sen-sitive It is mainly depending on the amount of transactedpower The main advantage of this method is its simplicity inimplementation Due to its various demerits central electric-ity regulatory commissions (CERCs) of India proposed a newtransmission pricing methodology which is the combinationof power flow tracing technique and marginal participationmethodology In the proposed hybrid methodology powerflow tracing is used for selection of the ldquoslack busrdquo while bymarginal participation burden of transmission charges orlosses on each node is computed
This paper presents the review of the variousmethods andtechniques based on power flow tracing which is used for thetransmission embedded cost allocation in the electricitymar-ket For the fair and equitable allocation of the transmissionusage it is necessary to trace the path of power supplied fromthe generator to load though it is difficult but by the power

flow tracing the flow of electricity can be traced The mainprinciple used in power flow tracing is proportional sharingprinciple According to this principle a network node work asa perfect mixer which follows the Kirchhoff current law thatis total incoming power is equal to total outgoing powerTheprinciple described assumes that each outflow (a flow leavinga node) on a line is dependent only on the voltage gradientand the impedance of the line The contribution of eachinflow (a line flow entering the node) to each outflow is inthe same proportion as the inflow on each line divided by thetotal inflow of all lines at the node However a disadvantageis the fact that the proportional sharing principle for powertransfer between generators and loads is not based on amathematically strict derivation [1]
The rest of the paper is organized as follows fromSections2 to 8 authors present the review of variousmethods based onor using power flow tracing In Section 9 case studies relatedto practical implementation of power flow tracing techniquesare presented Section 10 provides a comparison between var-ious power flow tracing techniques Discussion is also done inthis section followed by the conclusion

22 Factors Based on Generators Domain (Kirschen Tracing)The domain of a generator represents a subset 119873 of 119899 buseswhich are supplied by this generator A particular bus belongsto a generator domain if there is a ldquotracerdquo through the trans-mission network for which the direction of power flow isfrom the generator to the bus The generator common is asubset of ldquoneighboredrdquo buses from the subset 119873 which aresupplied by the same generators The subsets of buses whichare not connected andnot supplied by the same generators aretreated as separate commons A bus therefore belongs to onlyone common The branches can be divided in two groupsthose which connect two buses which are part of the samecommon (the internal branches) and those which connecttwo buses which belong to different commons (the externalbranches) External branches are called a link
Knowing the direction of the power flow through thenetwork elements and the commons and the links beingdefined the graph theory can be applied The state graphof the problem studied can be obtained using the followingrepresentation conventions the graph vertices correspond tothe commons graph arcs correspond to links between thecommons and the arc orientation is given by the power flowsThe state graph provides only a qualitative view of the powersystem The inflow of a common is defined as the sum of theinjected power by the sources connected to buses located inthis common and the power imported in this common fromother common by links
The calculus of generator contribution to various com-mons (119863 is the set of commons) is made in the followingmanner [26]

8 Equilateral Bilateral Exchange
The term equivalent bilateral exchange represents a powerinjection and an offtake of the same entity It suggests theexistence of a generator and a demand with the same realpower but in opposite directions Assuming a generator 119875
119892at
bus 119894 and a demand119875119889at bus 119895 the bilateral exchange between
generator and demand is given by
119866119863119894119895=
119875119892119894119875119889119895
119875sys119889
(12)
where in a lossless network the system demand 119875sys119889
=
sum119895119875119889119895= sum119894119875119892119894
The equivalent exchange 119866119863119894119895can be viewed as the frac-
tion of the generation 119875119892119894that supplies the bus demand 119875
119889119895
or equivalently the fraction of demand 119875119889119895
supplied by thegeneration 119875
119892119894
Chinese Journal of Engineering 7
To decompose each individual generation and demandlevel into linear combinations of the equivalent bilateralexchanges (13) is used
119875119892119894= sum
119894
119866119863119894119895
119875119889119895= sum
119895
119866119863119894119895
(13)
The net flow in an arbitrary line 119896 can be therefore beexpressed uniquely in terms of the equivalent bilateralexchanges as
119875119891119896= sum
119894-119895120574119894119895119896119866119863119894119895 (14)
The use of line 119896 by generation 119875119892119894and load 119875
119889119895can be
determined by the following expressions

is a generation shift factor through network ele-ment 119896 corresponding to changes in generator at bus 119894
In Nov 2003 Galiana et al [129] present a methodologyfor allocating the cost of a transmission network to its usersbased on the principle of equivalent bilateral exchanges InOct 2005 Silva et al [130] presented a new strategy designedwith the purpose of achieving revenue adequacy in congestednetworks that use financial transmission rights (FTR) mar-kets In 2008 [131] same authors presented a new strategybased on the principle of equivalent bilateral exchanges forthe allocation of costs related to electric network congestionmanagement In Nov 2005 Mateus and Franco [132] pre-sented a new loss allocation scheme based on equivalent bilat-eral exchanges In Dec 2008 Nouri and Jadid [133] pro-posed a loss allocation method based on equivalent bilateralexchanges and genetic algorithm

10 Discussion
A review of various methods based on power flow tracing ispresented Tracing based on proportional sharing principle isvery simple and easy to understand But it does not provideefficient economic signals Also it is not based on any fairnesscriteria Hence it has some degree of arbitrariness [2]
Optimization approach is most suitable for large powersystem [106] But it is complex and time consuming Theobjective function is formed which is optimized and givesoptimum results
In the game theory the participants make rational deci-sions in a conflicting competitive solution This approachgives efficient economic signals It is most suitable for thepresent competitive scenario But its applicability is limitedto large power system due to cumbersome calculation [118]
Equilateral bilateral exchange (EBE) is a reasonable wayto determine the combination of each generator to eachdemand The main advantage of this method is its indepen-dence on selection of slack bus In this method slack busis created for each EBE But EBE is a purely mathematicalconcept which does not exist in reality But by this way we canobserve all the different configurations of generator demand[129]
Circuit theory based methods depends on exact networkequation which is defined by the complex impedance matrixAll the calculations based on the sparse admittance matrixThese methods are easy to formulate [85]
Graph theory is widely used for allocation of transmissionusage to loads and generators Various matrixes such as inci-dence matrix adjacency matrix are used for tracing purposeThese methods are simple and easy to implement But thismethodology also follows the proportional sharing principle[1]
Relative electrical distance method allocates the trans-mission charges based on the relative location of the loadnode with respect to generator node It is simple and canbe implemented using the network configuration and gen-erationload conditions It does not require performing loadflow analysis whenever each contracttransaction is exer-cised The main advantage of the developed method lies inits applicability to consider multiple contractstransactionssimultaneously [109]

Figure 2 Various transmission pricing methods
In India themethod which is used so far is postage stampmethod But this method is not distance and direction sen-sitive It is mainly depending on the amount of transactedpower The main advantage of this method is its simplicity inimplementation Due to its various demerits central electric-ity regulatory commissions (CERCs) of India proposed a newtransmission pricing methodology which is the combinationof power flow tracing technique and marginal participationmethodology In the proposed hybrid methodology powerflow tracing is used for selection of the ldquoslack busrdquo while bymarginal participation burden of transmission charges orlosses on each node is computed
This paper presents the review of the variousmethods andtechniques based on power flow tracing which is used for thetransmission embedded cost allocation in the electricitymar-ket For the fair and equitable allocation of the transmissionusage it is necessary to trace the path of power supplied fromthe generator to load though it is difficult but by the power

flow tracing the flow of electricity can be traced The mainprinciple used in power flow tracing is proportional sharingprinciple According to this principle a network node work asa perfect mixer which follows the Kirchhoff current law thatis total incoming power is equal to total outgoing powerTheprinciple described assumes that each outflow (a flow leavinga node) on a line is dependent only on the voltage gradientand the impedance of the line The contribution of eachinflow (a line flow entering the node) to each outflow is inthe same proportion as the inflow on each line divided by thetotal inflow of all lines at the node However a disadvantageis the fact that the proportional sharing principle for powertransfer between generators and loads is not based on amathematically strict derivation [1]
The rest of the paper is organized as follows fromSections2 to 8 authors present the review of variousmethods based onor using power flow tracing In Section 9 case studies relatedto practical implementation of power flow tracing techniquesare presented Section 10 provides a comparison between var-ious power flow tracing techniques Discussion is also done inthis section followed by the conclusion

22 Factors Based on Generators Domain (Kirschen Tracing)The domain of a generator represents a subset 119873 of 119899 buseswhich are supplied by this generator A particular bus belongsto a generator domain if there is a ldquotracerdquo through the trans-mission network for which the direction of power flow isfrom the generator to the bus The generator common is asubset of ldquoneighboredrdquo buses from the subset 119873 which aresupplied by the same generators The subsets of buses whichare not connected andnot supplied by the same generators aretreated as separate commons A bus therefore belongs to onlyone common The branches can be divided in two groupsthose which connect two buses which are part of the samecommon (the internal branches) and those which connecttwo buses which belong to different commons (the externalbranches) External branches are called a link
Knowing the direction of the power flow through thenetwork elements and the commons and the links beingdefined the graph theory can be applied The state graphof the problem studied can be obtained using the followingrepresentation conventions the graph vertices correspond tothe commons graph arcs correspond to links between thecommons and the arc orientation is given by the power flowsThe state graph provides only a qualitative view of the powersystem The inflow of a common is defined as the sum of theinjected power by the sources connected to buses located inthis common and the power imported in this common fromother common by links

8 Equilateral Bilateral Exchange
The term equivalent bilateral exchange represents a powerinjection and an offtake of the same entity It suggests theexistence of a generator and a demand with the same realpower but in opposite directions Assuming a generator 119875
119892at
bus 119894 and a demand119875119889at bus 119895 the bilateral exchange between
generator and demand is given by
119866119863119894119895=

The equivalent exchange 119866119863119894119895can be viewed as the frac-
tion of the generation 119875119892119894that supplies the bus demand 119875

or equivalently the fraction of demand 119875119889119895

10 Discussion
A review of various methods based on power flow tracing ispresented Tracing based on proportional sharing principle isvery simple and easy to understand But it does not provideefficient economic signals Also it is not based on any fairnesscriteria Hence it has some degree of arbitrariness [2]
Optimization approach is most suitable for large powersystem [106] But it is complex and time consuming Theobjective function is formed which is optimized and givesoptimum results
In the game theory the participants make rational deci-sions in a conflicting competitive solution This approachgives efficient economic signals It is most suitable for thepresent competitive scenario But its applicability is limitedto large power system due to cumbersome calculation [118]
Equilateral bilateral exchange (EBE) is a reasonable wayto determine the combination of each generator to eachdemand The main advantage of this method is its indepen-dence on selection of slack bus In this method slack busis created for each EBE But EBE is a purely mathematicalconcept which does not exist in reality But by this way we canobserve all the different configurations of generator demand[129]
Circuit theory based methods depends on exact networkequation which is defined by the complex impedance matrixAll the calculations based on the sparse admittance matrixThese methods are easy to formulate [85]
Graph theory is widely used for allocation of transmissionusage to loads and generators Various matrixes such as inci-dence matrix adjacency matrix are used for tracing purposeThese methods are simple and easy to implement But thismethodology also follows the proportional sharing principle[1]
Relative electrical distance method allocates the trans-mission charges based on the relative location of the loadnode with respect to generator node It is simple and canbe implemented using the network configuration and gen-erationload conditions It does not require performing loadflow analysis whenever each contracttransaction is exer-cised The main advantage of the developed method lies inits applicability to consider multiple contractstransactionssimultaneously [109]

22 Factors Based on Generators Domain (Kirschen Tracing)The domain of a generator represents a subset 119873 of 119899 buseswhich are supplied by this generator A particular bus belongsto a generator domain if there is a ldquotracerdquo through the trans-mission network for which the direction of power flow isfrom the generator to the bus The generator common is asubset of ldquoneighboredrdquo buses from the subset 119873 which aresupplied by the same generators The subsets of buses whichare not connected andnot supplied by the same generators aretreated as separate commons A bus therefore belongs to onlyone common The branches can be divided in two groupsthose which connect two buses which are part of the samecommon (the internal branches) and those which connecttwo buses which belong to different commons (the externalbranches) External branches are called a link
Knowing the direction of the power flow through thenetwork elements and the commons and the links beingdefined the graph theory can be applied The state graphof the problem studied can be obtained using the followingrepresentation conventions the graph vertices correspond tothe commons graph arcs correspond to links between thecommons and the arc orientation is given by the power flowsThe state graph provides only a qualitative view of the powersystem The inflow of a common is defined as the sum of theinjected power by the sources connected to buses located inthis common and the power imported in this common fromother common by links

8 Equilateral Bilateral Exchange
The term equivalent bilateral exchange represents a powerinjection and an offtake of the same entity It suggests theexistence of a generator and a demand with the same realpower but in opposite directions Assuming a generator 119875
119892at
bus 119894 and a demand119875119889at bus 119895 the bilateral exchange between
generator and demand is given by
119866119863119894119895=
119875119892119894119875119889119895
119875sys119889
(12)
where in a lossless network the system demand 119875sys119889
=
sum119895119875119889119895= sum119894119875119892119894
The equivalent exchange 119866119863119894119895can be viewed as the frac-
tion of the generation 119875119892119894that supplies the bus demand 119875
119889119895
or equivalently the fraction of demand 119875119889119895
supplied by thegeneration 119875
119892119894
Chinese Journal of Engineering 7
To decompose each individual generation and demandlevel into linear combinations of the equivalent bilateralexchanges (13) is used
119875119892119894= sum
119894

119875119889119895= sum
119895
119866119863119894119895
(13)
The net flow in an arbitrary line 119896 can be therefore beexpressed uniquely in terms of the equivalent bilateralexchanges as
119875119891119896= sum

The use of line 119896 by generation 119875119892119894and load 119875
119889119895can be
determined by the following expressions

10 Discussion
A review of various methods based on power flow tracing ispresented Tracing based on proportional sharing principle isvery simple and easy to understand But it does not provideefficient economic signals Also it is not based on any fairnesscriteria Hence it has some degree of arbitrariness [2]
Optimization approach is most suitable for large powersystem [106] But it is complex and time consuming Theobjective function is formed which is optimized and givesoptimum results
In the game theory the participants make rational deci-sions in a conflicting competitive solution This approachgives efficient economic signals It is most suitable for thepresent competitive scenario But its applicability is limitedto large power system due to cumbersome calculation [118]
Equilateral bilateral exchange (EBE) is a reasonable wayto determine the combination of each generator to eachdemand The main advantage of this method is its indepen-dence on selection of slack bus In this method slack busis created for each EBE But EBE is a purely mathematicalconcept which does not exist in reality But by this way we canobserve all the different configurations of generator demand[129]
Circuit theory based methods depends on exact networkequation which is defined by the complex impedance matrixAll the calculations based on the sparse admittance matrixThese methods are easy to formulate [85]
Graph theory is widely used for allocation of transmissionusage to loads and generators Various matrixes such as inci-dence matrix adjacency matrix are used for tracing purposeThese methods are simple and easy to implement But thismethodology also follows the proportional sharing principle[1]
Relative electrical distance method allocates the trans-mission charges based on the relative location of the loadnode with respect to generator node It is simple and canbe implemented using the network configuration and gen-erationload conditions It does not require performing loadflow analysis whenever each contracttransaction is exer-cised The main advantage of the developed method lies inits applicability to consider multiple contractstransactionssimultaneously [109]

22 Factors Based on Generators Domain (Kirschen Tracing)The domain of a generator represents a subset 119873 of 119899 buseswhich are supplied by this generator A particular bus belongsto a generator domain if there is a ldquotracerdquo through the trans-mission network for which the direction of power flow isfrom the generator to the bus The generator common is asubset of ldquoneighboredrdquo buses from the subset 119873 which aresupplied by the same generators The subsets of buses whichare not connected andnot supplied by the same generators aretreated as separate commons A bus therefore belongs to onlyone common The branches can be divided in two groupsthose which connect two buses which are part of the samecommon (the internal branches) and those which connecttwo buses which belong to different commons (the externalbranches) External branches are called a link
Knowing the direction of the power flow through thenetwork elements and the commons and the links beingdefined the graph theory can be applied The state graphof the problem studied can be obtained using the followingrepresentation conventions the graph vertices correspond tothe commons graph arcs correspond to links between thecommons and the arc orientation is given by the power flowsThe state graph provides only a qualitative view of the powersystem The inflow of a common is defined as the sum of theinjected power by the sources connected to buses located inthis common and the power imported in this common fromother common by links
The calculus of generator contribution to various com-mons (119863 is the set of commons) is made in the followingmanner [26]

Consider a system where 119899 is the total number of buses with1 2 119892 119892 is number of generator buses and 119892 + 1 sdot sdot sdot 119899remaining (119899-119892) load buses For a given system we can write
[119868119866
119868119871
] = [119884119866119866
119884119866119871
119884119871119866
119884119871119871
] [119881119866
119881119871
] (8)
where 119868119866 119868119871and119881119866119881119871represent complex current and voltage
vectors at the generators nodes and load nodes[119884119866119866] [119884119866119871] [119884119871119871] and [119884
119871119866] are corresponding parti-
tioned portions of network 119884-bus matrix Rearranging theequation we get
[119881119871
119868119866
] = [119885119871119871
119865119871119866

119884119866119866
] [119868119871
119881119866
] (9)
where [119865119871119866] = minus[119884
119871119871]minus1[119884119871119866] This matrix gives the relation
between load bus voltages and source bus voltages It alsogives information about the location of load nodes withrespect to generator nodes that is termed as relative electricaldistance (RED) between load nodes and generator nodes
The relative electrical distances that is the relative loca-tions of load nodes with respect to the generator nodes areobtained from the [119865
119871119866]matrix and is given by (10)
[119877119871119866] = 1 minus abs [119865
119871119866] (10)
The desired proportions of generation for the desiredload sharinggeneration scheduling are also obtained fromthe [119865
119871119866]matrix and is given by
[119863119871119866] = abs [119865
119871119866] (11)
In 2003 Visakha et al proposed amethod of transmissioncharge allocation based on the RED concept [108 109] In2008-2009 Thukaram et al proposed and explained powerflow tracing and transmission loss charge allocationmethodsbased on aREDconceptThey also furnished aT-indexwhichis used for ranking new generation expansion locations [110ndash112]
7 Power Flow Tracing Based onCooperative Game Theory
InMay 1996 Tsukamoto and Iyodo [113] described amethod-ology to allocate the cost of transmission network facilities It
is based on the combination of MW-Mile method with coop-erative game theory Kattuman et al [114] presented a tracingtechnique for pricing inter-area electricity trades In Aug1999 Yeung and Poon [115] explained a multi agent modelin conjunction with game theory to resolve the coalitionformation in multilateral trades In Oct 2000 Yu et al [116]presented amethod for transmission line embedded cost allo-cation using cooperative game theory They also presented acomparison between themethods of transmission embeddedcost allocation [117] In Jan 2002 Tan and Lie [118] appliedShapley value of cooperative game theory for allocation oftransmission cost to loads and generators In May 2002 Yu etal [119] proposed transmission line embedded cost allocatedmethod accounting line capacity use and reliability benefitsIn Nov 2002 Zolezzi and Rudnick [120] explained coopera-tive game theory based transmission cost allocation methodIn this work cooperative game theory solution such asShapley value and nucleolus are compared with conventionalmethods InMay 2004 Stamtsis andErlich [121] implementedthe game theory solutions such as Shapley value and Nucle-olus for the power system fixed cost allocation in the pooland bilateral market InMarch 2005 Bjorndal et al [122] pre-sented amethod for computing the nucleolus of a cooperativegame by which several usage-based methods may be com-bined to produce allocations that are in or as close as possibleto the core In Nov 2007 Junqueira et al [123] presenteda methodology based on the Aumann-Shapley scheme forenergy transmission costs allocation between network usersin energy markets In Dec 2008 Bhakar et al [124] provideda game theoretic model that allocates the transmission anddistribution network costs based on Nucleolus and ShapleyValue approaches In 2009 Bhakar et al [125] proposed a vari-ety of probabilistic cooperative game theory approaches InJune 2003 Juan Zolezzi and Rudnick [126] proposed a trans-mission cost allocation method based on cooperative gametheory and transmission network capacity use of consumeragents Singh et al [127] dealt with the problem of allocatingcommon costs in electric power networks using principlesfrom cooperative game theory In 2011 Balagopalan andAnooja [128] applied cooperative game theory for sharingtransmission charges in electricity markets
8 Equilateral Bilateral Exchange
The term equivalent bilateral exchange represents a powerinjection and an offtake of the same entity It suggests theexistence of a generator and a demand with the same realpower but in opposite directions Assuming a generator 119875
119892at
bus 119894 and a demand119875119889at bus 119895 the bilateral exchange between
generator and demand is given by
119866119863119894119895=
119875119892119894119875119889119895
119875sys119889
(12)
where in a lossless network the system demand 119875sys119889
=
sum119895119875119889119895= sum119894119875119892119894
The equivalent exchange 119866119863119894119895can be viewed as the frac-
tion of the generation 119875119892119894that supplies the bus demand 119875
119889119895
or equivalently the fraction of demand 119875119889119895
supplied by thegeneration 119875
119892119894
Chinese Journal of Engineering 7
To decompose each individual generation and demandlevel into linear combinations of the equivalent bilateralexchanges (13) is used
119875119892119894= sum
119894
119866119863119894119895
119875119889119895= sum
119895
119866119863119894119895
(13)
The net flow in an arbitrary line 119896 can be therefore beexpressed uniquely in terms of the equivalent bilateralexchanges as
119875119891119896= sum
119894-119895120574119894119895119896119866119863119894119895 (14)
The use of line 119896 by generation 119875119892119894and load 119875
119889119895can be
determined by the following expressions
119880119866119894119896= sum
119895
10038161003816100381610038161003816120574119894119895119896

where 120574119894119895119896
is a generation shift factor through network ele-ment 119896 corresponding to changes in generator at bus 119894
In Nov 2003 Galiana et al [129] present a methodologyfor allocating the cost of a transmission network to its usersbased on the principle of equivalent bilateral exchanges InOct 2005 Silva et al [130] presented a new strategy designedwith the purpose of achieving revenue adequacy in congestednetworks that use financial transmission rights (FTR) mar-kets In 2008 [131] same authors presented a new strategybased on the principle of equivalent bilateral exchanges forthe allocation of costs related to electric network congestionmanagement In Nov 2005 Mateus and Franco [132] pre-sented a new loss allocation scheme based on equivalent bilat-eral exchanges In Dec 2008 Nouri and Jadid [133] pro-posed a loss allocation method based on equivalent bilateralexchanges and genetic algorithm

10 Discussion
A review of various methods based on power flow tracing ispresented Tracing based on proportional sharing principle isvery simple and easy to understand But it does not provideefficient economic signals Also it is not based on any fairnesscriteria Hence it has some degree of arbitrariness [2]
Optimization approach is most suitable for large powersystem [106] But it is complex and time consuming Theobjective function is formed which is optimized and givesoptimum results
In the game theory the participants make rational deci-sions in a conflicting competitive solution This approachgives efficient economic signals It is most suitable for thepresent competitive scenario But its applicability is limitedto large power system due to cumbersome calculation [118]
Equilateral bilateral exchange (EBE) is a reasonable wayto determine the combination of each generator to eachdemand The main advantage of this method is its indepen-dence on selection of slack bus In this method slack busis created for each EBE But EBE is a purely mathematicalconcept which does not exist in reality But by this way we canobserve all the different configurations of generator demand[129]
Circuit theory based methods depends on exact networkequation which is defined by the complex impedance matrixAll the calculations based on the sparse admittance matrixThese methods are easy to formulate [85]
Graph theory is widely used for allocation of transmissionusage to loads and generators Various matrixes such as inci-dence matrix adjacency matrix are used for tracing purposeThese methods are simple and easy to implement But thismethodology also follows the proportional sharing principle[1]
Relative electrical distance method allocates the trans-mission charges based on the relative location of the loadnode with respect to generator node It is simple and canbe implemented using the network configuration and gen-erationload conditions It does not require performing loadflow analysis whenever each contracttransaction is exer-cised The main advantage of the developed method lies inits applicability to consider multiple contractstransactionssimultaneously [109]

8 Equilateral Bilateral Exchange
The term equivalent bilateral exchange represents a powerinjection and an offtake of the same entity It suggests theexistence of a generator and a demand with the same realpower but in opposite directions Assuming a generator 119875
119892at
bus 119894 and a demand119875119889at bus 119895 the bilateral exchange between
generator and demand is given by
119866119863119894119895=
119875119892119894119875119889119895

(12)
where in a lossless network the system demand 119875sys119889
=
sum119895119875119889119895= sum119894119875119892119894
The equivalent exchange 119866119863119894119895can be viewed as the frac-
tion of the generation 119875119892119894that supplies the bus demand 119875
119889119895
or equivalently the fraction of demand 119875119889119895
supplied by thegeneration 119875

Chinese Journal of Engineering 7
To decompose each individual generation and demandlevel into linear combinations of the equivalent bilateralexchanges (13) is used
119875119892119894= sum
119894

119866119863119894119895

The net flow in an arbitrary line 119896 can be therefore beexpressed uniquely in terms of the equivalent bilateralexchanges as

The use of line 119896 by generation 119875119892119894and load 119875
119889119895can be
determined by the following expressions

10 Discussion
A review of various methods based on power flow tracing ispresented Tracing based on proportional sharing principle isvery simple and easy to understand But it does not provideefficient economic signals Also it is not based on any fairnesscriteria Hence it has some degree of arbitrariness [2]
Optimization approach is most suitable for large powersystem [106] But it is complex and time consuming Theobjective function is formed which is optimized and givesoptimum results
In the game theory the participants make rational deci-sions in a conflicting competitive solution This approachgives efficient economic signals It is most suitable for thepresent competitive scenario But its applicability is limitedto large power system due to cumbersome calculation [118]
Equilateral bilateral exchange (EBE) is a reasonable wayto determine the combination of each generator to eachdemand The main advantage of this method is its indepen-dence on selection of slack bus In this method slack busis created for each EBE But EBE is a purely mathematicalconcept which does not exist in reality But by this way we canobserve all the different configurations of generator demand[129]
Circuit theory based methods depends on exact networkequation which is defined by the complex impedance matrixAll the calculations based on the sparse admittance matrixThese methods are easy to formulate [85]
Graph theory is widely used for allocation of transmissionusage to loads and generators Various matrixes such as inci-dence matrix adjacency matrix are used for tracing purposeThese methods are simple and easy to implement But thismethodology also follows the proportional sharing principle[1]
Relative electrical distance method allocates the trans-mission charges based on the relative location of the loadnode with respect to generator node It is simple and canbe implemented using the network configuration and gen-erationload conditions It does not require performing loadflow analysis whenever each contracttransaction is exer-cised The main advantage of the developed method lies inits applicability to consider multiple contractstransactionssimultaneously [109]

6 Power Flow Tracing Based onthe Relative Electrical Distance Concept
Consider a system where 119899 is the total number of buses with1 2 119892 119892 is number of generator buses and 119892 + 1 sdot sdot sdot 119899remaining (119899-119892) load buses For a given system we can write
[119868119866
119868119871
] = [119884119866119866
119884119866119871
119884119871119866
119884119871119871
] [119881119866
119881119871
] (8)
where 119868119866 119868119871and119881119866119881119871represent complex current and voltage
vectors at the generators nodes and load nodes[119884119866119866] [119884119866119871] [119884119871119871] and [119884
119871119866] are corresponding parti-
tioned portions of network 119884-bus matrix Rearranging theequation we get
[119881119871
119868119866
] = [119885119871119871
119865119871119866

] [119868119871
119881119866

where [119865119871119866] = minus[119884
119871119871]minus1[119884119871119866] This matrix gives the relation
between load bus voltages and source bus voltages It alsogives information about the location of load nodes withrespect to generator nodes that is termed as relative electricaldistance (RED) between load nodes and generator nodes
The relative electrical distances that is the relative loca-tions of load nodes with respect to the generator nodes areobtained from the [119865
119871119866]matrix and is given by (10)
[119877119871119866] = 1 minus abs [119865

The desired proportions of generation for the desiredload sharinggeneration scheduling are also obtained fromthe [119865
119871119866]matrix and is given by
[119863119871119866] = abs [119865
119871119866] (11)
In 2003 Visakha et al proposed amethod of transmissioncharge allocation based on the RED concept [108 109] In2008-2009 Thukaram et al proposed and explained powerflow tracing and transmission loss charge allocationmethodsbased on aREDconceptThey also furnished aT-indexwhichis used for ranking new generation expansion locations [110ndash112]
7 Power Flow Tracing Based onCooperative Game Theory
InMay 1996 Tsukamoto and Iyodo [113] described amethod-ology to allocate the cost of transmission network facilities It
is based on the combination of MW-Mile method with coop-erative game theory Kattuman et al [114] presented a tracingtechnique for pricing inter-area electricity trades In Aug1999 Yeung and Poon [115] explained a multi agent modelin conjunction with game theory to resolve the coalitionformation in multilateral trades In Oct 2000 Yu et al [116]presented amethod for transmission line embedded cost allo-cation using cooperative game theory They also presented acomparison between themethods of transmission embeddedcost allocation [117] In Jan 2002 Tan and Lie [118] appliedShapley value of cooperative game theory for allocation oftransmission cost to loads and generators In May 2002 Yu etal [119] proposed transmission line embedded cost allocatedmethod accounting line capacity use and reliability benefitsIn Nov 2002 Zolezzi and Rudnick [120] explained coopera-tive game theory based transmission cost allocation methodIn this work cooperative game theory solution such asShapley value and nucleolus are compared with conventionalmethods InMay 2004 Stamtsis andErlich [121] implementedthe game theory solutions such as Shapley value and Nucle-olus for the power system fixed cost allocation in the pooland bilateral market InMarch 2005 Bjorndal et al [122] pre-sented amethod for computing the nucleolus of a cooperativegame by which several usage-based methods may be com-bined to produce allocations that are in or as close as possibleto the core In Nov 2007 Junqueira et al [123] presenteda methodology based on the Aumann-Shapley scheme forenergy transmission costs allocation between network usersin energy markets In Dec 2008 Bhakar et al [124] provideda game theoretic model that allocates the transmission anddistribution network costs based on Nucleolus and ShapleyValue approaches In 2009 Bhakar et al [125] proposed a vari-ety of probabilistic cooperative game theory approaches InJune 2003 Juan Zolezzi and Rudnick [126] proposed a trans-mission cost allocation method based on cooperative gametheory and transmission network capacity use of consumeragents Singh et al [127] dealt with the problem of allocatingcommon costs in electric power networks using principlesfrom cooperative game theory In 2011 Balagopalan andAnooja [128] applied cooperative game theory for sharingtransmission charges in electricity markets
8 Equilateral Bilateral Exchange
The term equivalent bilateral exchange represents a powerinjection and an offtake of the same entity It suggests theexistence of a generator and a demand with the same realpower but in opposite directions Assuming a generator 119875
119892at
bus 119894 and a demand119875119889at bus 119895 the bilateral exchange between
generator and demand is given by
119866119863119894119895=
119875119892119894119875119889119895
119875sys119889
(12)
where in a lossless network the system demand 119875sys119889
=
sum119895119875119889119895= sum119894119875119892119894
The equivalent exchange 119866119863119894119895can be viewed as the frac-
tion of the generation 119875119892119894that supplies the bus demand 119875
119889119895
or equivalently the fraction of demand 119875119889119895
supplied by thegeneration 119875
119892119894
Chinese Journal of Engineering 7
To decompose each individual generation and demandlevel into linear combinations of the equivalent bilateralexchanges (13) is used
119875119892119894= sum
119894
119866119863119894119895
119875119889119895= sum
119895
119866119863119894119895
(13)
The net flow in an arbitrary line 119896 can be therefore beexpressed uniquely in terms of the equivalent bilateralexchanges as
119875119891119896= sum
119894-119895120574119894119895119896119866119863119894119895 (14)
The use of line 119896 by generation 119875119892119894and load 119875
119889119895can be
determined by the following expressions
119880119866119894119896= sum
119895
10038161003816100381610038161003816120574119894119895119896

where 120574119894119895119896
is a generation shift factor through network ele-ment 119896 corresponding to changes in generator at bus 119894
In Nov 2003 Galiana et al [129] present a methodologyfor allocating the cost of a transmission network to its usersbased on the principle of equivalent bilateral exchanges InOct 2005 Silva et al [130] presented a new strategy designedwith the purpose of achieving revenue adequacy in congestednetworks that use financial transmission rights (FTR) mar-kets In 2008 [131] same authors presented a new strategybased on the principle of equivalent bilateral exchanges forthe allocation of costs related to electric network congestionmanagement In Nov 2005 Mateus and Franco [132] pre-sented a new loss allocation scheme based on equivalent bilat-eral exchanges In Dec 2008 Nouri and Jadid [133] pro-posed a loss allocation method based on equivalent bilateralexchanges and genetic algorithm

10 Discussion
A review of various methods based on power flow tracing ispresented Tracing based on proportional sharing principle isvery simple and easy to understand But it does not provideefficient economic signals Also it is not based on any fairnesscriteria Hence it has some degree of arbitrariness [2]
Optimization approach is most suitable for large powersystem [106] But it is complex and time consuming Theobjective function is formed which is optimized and givesoptimum results
In the game theory the participants make rational deci-sions in a conflicting competitive solution This approachgives efficient economic signals It is most suitable for thepresent competitive scenario But its applicability is limitedto large power system due to cumbersome calculation [118]
Equilateral bilateral exchange (EBE) is a reasonable wayto determine the combination of each generator to eachdemand The main advantage of this method is its indepen-dence on selection of slack bus In this method slack busis created for each EBE But EBE is a purely mathematicalconcept which does not exist in reality But by this way we canobserve all the different configurations of generator demand[129]
Circuit theory based methods depends on exact networkequation which is defined by the complex impedance matrixAll the calculations based on the sparse admittance matrixThese methods are easy to formulate [85]
Graph theory is widely used for allocation of transmissionusage to loads and generators Various matrixes such as inci-dence matrix adjacency matrix are used for tracing purposeThese methods are simple and easy to implement But thismethodology also follows the proportional sharing principle[1]
Relative electrical distance method allocates the trans-mission charges based on the relative location of the loadnode with respect to generator node It is simple and canbe implemented using the network configuration and gen-erationload conditions It does not require performing loadflow analysis whenever each contracttransaction is exer-cised The main advantage of the developed method lies inits applicability to consider multiple contractstransactionssimultaneously [109]

10 Discussion
A review of various methods based on power flow tracing ispresented Tracing based on proportional sharing principle isvery simple and easy to understand But it does not provideefficient economic signals Also it is not based on any fairnesscriteria Hence it has some degree of arbitrariness [2]
Optimization approach is most suitable for large powersystem [106] But it is complex and time consuming Theobjective function is formed which is optimized and givesoptimum results
In the game theory the participants make rational deci-sions in a conflicting competitive solution This approachgives efficient economic signals It is most suitable for thepresent competitive scenario But its applicability is limitedto large power system due to cumbersome calculation [118]
Equilateral bilateral exchange (EBE) is a reasonable wayto determine the combination of each generator to eachdemand The main advantage of this method is its indepen-dence on selection of slack bus In this method slack busis created for each EBE But EBE is a purely mathematicalconcept which does not exist in reality But by this way we canobserve all the different configurations of generator demand[129]
Circuit theory based methods depends on exact networkequation which is defined by the complex impedance matrixAll the calculations based on the sparse admittance matrixThese methods are easy to formulate [85]
Graph theory is widely used for allocation of transmissionusage to loads and generators Various matrixes such as inci-dence matrix adjacency matrix are used for tracing purposeThese methods are simple and easy to implement But thismethodology also follows the proportional sharing principle[1]
Relative electrical distance method allocates the trans-mission charges based on the relative location of the loadnode with respect to generator node It is simple and canbe implemented using the network configuration and gen-erationload conditions It does not require performing loadflow analysis whenever each contracttransaction is exer-cised The main advantage of the developed method lies inits applicability to consider multiple contractstransactionssimultaneously [109]
