This workshop presentation discusses the application of Locational Marginal Pricing (LMP) for managing transmission congestion in the proposed power industry reform in Nigeria. It covers the objectives, consequences of reform, findings from loadflow studies, and practical applications of LMP. The workshop emphasizes the importance of LMP in enhancing power supply reliability, increasing competition among generating plants, and adopting appropriate pricing policies. Various methods for congestion management, such as rescheduling system generation and LMP, are explored along with specific findings related to critical nodes and busbar voltages. Future work includes implementing LMP to alleviate congestion and improve the overall system stability and efficiency in the Nigerian power sector.

Outline • Objectives • Existing Market Structure • Proposed Nigerian Power Industry Reform • Consequences of Reform • Review of Loadflow Studies • Findings Third US-Africa Research and Education Collaboration Workshop Abuja, Nigeria, December 13-15, 2004
Outline • Concepts of Locational Marginal Pricing (LMP) and its Impact on the Proposed Electricity Reform • Applications • Conclusions and Future Work Third US-Africa Research and Education Collaboration Workshop Abuja, Nigeria, December 13-15, 2004
Objectives • Review of the state-of-the-art of the loadflow studies of the transmission lines under existing and proposed IPPs • Identification of critical nodes/buses • Define LMP and it can be used to check transmission congestion Third US-Africa Research and Education Collaboration Workshop Abuja, Nigeria, December 13-15, 2004
Consequences of Reform • Increase of reliability of power supply • Overall increase in power consumption • Increase in competition among generating plants • The results of (2) and (3) could result in congestion • The consequence of (4) could result in different energy prices throughout the network • Adoption of appropriate pricing policies to check transmission congestions Third US-Africa Research and Education Collaboration Workshop Abuja, Nigeria, December 13-15, 2004
Congestion Management • Reschedule system generation • The use of locational marginal pricing • Other methods: postage-stamp rate, contract path, MW-mile, ATC, etc Third US-Africa Research and Education Collaboration Workshop Abuja, Nigeria, December 13-15, 2004
Findings • Shiroro-Kaduna line was overloaded by 18.65% • Ajaokuta busbar exceeds max acceptable voltage of 1.05 pu – the bus voltage was 1.062 pu • Shiroro and Afam GS exceeded their Var limits – the values were 2.60 and 1.59 pu, respectively Third US-Africa Research and Education Collaboration Workshop Abuja, Nigeria, December 13-15, 2004
Findings • Jebba GS and Delta GS absorb min Var of -2.0 pu and -2.49 pu, respectively • Kaduna (0.9025 pu), Kano (0.8268 pu), Jos (0.7858 pu), and Gombe (0.6397 pu) all recorded low voltages • There is the need for appropriate pricing mechanism for transmission congestion management Third US-Africa Research and Education Collaboration Workshop Abuja, Nigeria, December 13-15, 2004
Locational Marginal Pricing • The LMP is the spot price which is based on the principle that a unit of power has different prices at different points in the network. The main reason for this spatial discrimination in energy prices are transmission losses and congestion • LMP is defined as the minimum cost of supplying one additional MW of load as the load bus without violation of any transmission limits, based on the bidding prices of power supply and power load at the buses in the system • The major factors affecting the LMP values are generator bid prices, transmission system elements that are experiencing congestions, the losses in the system, and the electrical characteristics of the system Third US-Africa Research and Education Collaboration Workshop Abuja, Nigeria, December 13-15, 2004
Locational Marginal Pricing • Usefulness of LMP • To calculate the revenue of GENCOs for supplying electric power and the expenditure of DISCOs for using electric power • It can be used for the transmission congestion management • It can be used for transmission network planning to improve the secure operation network of the power system • To guide TRANSCOs’ capital investments Third US-Africa Research and Education Collaboration Workshop Abuja, Nigeria, December 13-15, 2004
Applications of LMP • At the Shiroro GS busbar/node – this will take care of the Shiroro-Kaduna line, Kaduna-Kano line, Kaduna-Jos line, and Jos-Gombe line • At the Ajaokuta load bus because of the max acceptable voltage of 1.05 pu was exceeded. Third US-Africa Research and Education Collaboration Workshop Abuja, Nigeria, December 13-15, 2004
Conclusions and Future Work • The existing system is weak to cope with the proposed electric power reform • LMP will help to alleviate transmission congestions • The above will save the grid from high losses, occasional trippings, voltage as well as system instability Third US-Africa Research and Education Collaboration Workshop Abuja, Nigeria, December 13-15, 2004
