In this paper, the authors evaluate the cost to secure the reserve capacity from the view point of ISO under the competitive environment. It is going on the deregulation of electric power industry now in Japan, and it is assumed that many companies will get into the generation category newly and energy market will be established. So we have to secure the reserve capacity enough to maintain the supply reliability after the deregulation. Generally, it is supposed that ISO should have the responsibility of securing the reserve capacity. Therefore, in this paper we propose two types of ISO security model, one is “Reserve market-based security model" and the other is “Commitment-based security model". The purpose in this paper is to compare with two models in terms of the cost for the supply security and research the better model for the customers.
