Division of the network costs into an energy charge and a demand charge: methodology and computation

Funding entity Comisión Nacional de Energía (CNE)

The aim of this project is to divide the electric network costs into two components, in order to design the final transmission and distribution network tariffs. A Network Reference Model will be used to compare the total network cost with the cost corresponding to a network designed only to supply the maximum demand. The detailed representation of transmission and distribution networks will allow computing the percentage of the cost to be recovered through a energy charge and a demand charge.

Research topics:
• *Energy markets design and regulation
• *Regulation of energy network infrastructures: Transport and distribution
