Abstract: Provision of correct economic signals to the market participants like generation companies, wheeling companies and customers in a deregulated electricity market is necessary. The operation of the wheeling company between generation companies and customers must ensure reliable and secured operation of the overall power system. Proper wheeling cost methodology is needed to allocate the cost of transmission transactions to the customers to achieve it. Accurate transmission pricing scheme still remains a challenging task. This paper gives an overview of different cost components of wheeling party, principles of wheeling pricing and a detailed presentation of a power flow tracing methodology and ‘embedded’ wheeling cost methodology namely ‘Contract path method’. This method is applied to an application example illustrated to calculate the wheeling cost and the results obtained are illustrated.
