In this paper an isolated two area restructured power system with thermal-thermal non reheat unit has been considered with and without wind power connectivity for the visualization of grid frequency fluctuations. All the generators are considered working under automatic generation control mode...

Regulatory authorities in the European electricity sector use benchmarking techniques to determine the cost-efficient production level for an incentive regulation of distribution system operators (DSOs). With nearly 900 DSOs operating in the German electricity sector, of which 200 subject to...

Electricity distribution network is a prime example of a natural local monopoly. In many countries, electricity distribution is regulated by the government. In Finland, the regulator estimates the efficient cost frontier using the data envelopment analysis (DEA) and stochastic frontier analysis...

This paper aims to estimate the efficiency improvement target or the X factor for regulating the Thai electricity generation state owned enterprise. Efficiency is measured by employing a modern, standard application of parametric and nonparametric approaches, namely Stochastic Frontier Analysis...
