Abstract

In this paper, a new method for pricing of Distributed Generations (DG) based on contribution of each zone of distribution network to reliability enhancement is proposed. In the proposed method, some flaws such as zero reliability price allocation to DGs and non-zero merchandising surplus are eliminated. In order to determine the share and price of each zone, cooperation game theory is utilized. For reliability evaluation of distribution network, Markov chain in used in which the operation of DGs in islanded mode is considered as well.
