This research optimises the mix and structure of Generation Companies (GenCos) in the Sumatra power system, Indonesia. Market power, indicating the ability to raise prices profitably above the competitive level, tends to be a significant problem in the aftermath of electricity market restructuring. In the process of regulatory reform and the development of competitive electricity markets, it is desirable and practical to establish an efficient number of competitor GenCos. Simulations of a power system account for multi-plant mergers of GenCos subject to a regulatory measure of the Residual Supply Index and the influence of direct current load flow and the topology of the system. This study simulates the Sumatra power system in order to determine the following: optimal market structure, efficient GenCo generation mix, and the optimal number of competitive GenCos. Further, this study seeks to empirically optimise the electricity generation mix and electricity market structure of the Sumatra power system using DC load flow optimisation, market power index, and multi-plant monopoly analysis. The simulations include generation and transmission constraints to represent network constraints. This research is the first to analyse the Sumatra power system using imperfect (Cournot) competition modelling. Furthermore, this study is the first kind to optimise the mix and structure of the Sumatra generation power market. The guidelines and methodology in this research can be implemented in other countries characterised by a monopoly electricity utility company.

AbstractThis paper proposes two techniques for the identification of critical buses in a power system. The technique of Network Structural Theory Participation Factor (NSTPF) depends on the network structural interconnection of buses as captured by the admittance matrix of the system and is formulated based on the fundamental circuit theory law using eigenvalue decomposition method. Another power flow based technique which depends on the system maximum loadability, the system step size among other factors is also proposed. Traditional power flow based techniques are used as benchmarks to determine the significance of the proposed methods. To ensure voltage stability enhancement, STATCOM FACTS device is installed at the selected weak load buses of the practical Nigerian 24 bus and IEEE 30 bus test systems. The results of the simulation obtained show that, the suggested approach of NSTPF is more suitable in the identification of weak buses that are liable to voltage instability in power systems as it requires less computational burden and also saves time compared to techniques based on power flow solutions.
