L'insuffisance des signaux de localisation pour la coordination entre la production et le transport d'électricité dans les systèmes électriques libéralisés

This paper analyses the organisation of coordination between generation and transmission in a liberalized power system. We rely on a modular analysis framework in order to split in distinct modules the coordination mechanisms. In a logic of institutional complementarities, the governance structure of the power transmission grid completes this analysis framework and influences the power flow management schemes that are implemented by the power Transmission and System Operators. The locational constraints of generators and the governance structure of the network explain that these signals are necessary but not sufficient to coordinate generation and transmission to the long term.
