Establishment of the operational reserve as a complementary service

Abstract

Interconnected power systems need reliability services (ancillary services) in arder fa guaranteethe viability ofthe energy market. ¡nto the ancillary services directed to improve the system'squality and reliability, isfound the OPERATING RESERVE.There is no! exists a criteria for the evaluation o[this service and ils subsequent remuneration,therefore arise the need to identijj; clearly this service and determine the producing potentialagents and consumers. Far this reasan, this work is beginning for implementa/ion oloperatingreserve in ancillary services. 'This document sorne ofthe power markets are presented. Those markets are USA, Argentinean,Spanish, Colombian and British markets.Therefore, several scenarios to qualify the spinning and no spinning reserve of global andinterconnected system are studied. The PJM method is incorporated in a computer program, bymean 01 it, required unit commitment risk and response risk to detennine reliability 01powersystem is obtained.A reserve scheme is proposed which to take into account the response time 01units and to c!assifyin primary, secondary, and tertiary reserve.
