A directional-based branches current method for transmission loss allocation in the pool-based electricity market

This paper proposes a new method for transmission loss allocation. The share of each bus in the transmission line losses is determined using transmission line loss equations with respect to bus-injected currents. Then, it is applied to the total network transmission lines. In the proposed method, comparing with other methods, a solution to remove the negative loss allocation has been introduced. This algorithm is based on the electric network relations and the injected power in various buses considering the network topology. The proposed method is studied on a typical three-bus network, and applied to the IEEE 14-bus networks. In comparison with other methods, a new solution for removing negative loss allocation is proposed.
