Feasibility Study of Scheduling Work of System Operation in Deregulated Environment

Abstract

This paper presents the results of work flow analysis of generation scheduling and power system operation on the assumption that further deregulation is introduced into Japanese electric utility. California system and PJM system are tested as they are introduced into Japan. It was made clear that the time required for making the plan to operate the grid for the next day is acceptable for the Japanese system when a spot market is founded. Flow simulation of jobs of the power system operation is done based on IDEF0 method using flow charts similar to Petri net.
