Applications of area- and time-specific marginal costs Past researchers attributed these variations to factors related to (ATSMC) cover: 1)transmission pricing of retail wheeling [6- electricity generation and transmission. Those authors, however, 71; and 2) evaluation of the cost-effectiveness of alternative did not fully analyze the large variations in marginal distribution resource options to develop an integrated distribution plan [8]. capacity costs (MDCC) by area and time. Thus, the objectives of This integrated plan specifies the least-cost mix of demand- this paper are: (1)to propose a method to estimate MDCC; (2) to demonstrate the significant intra- and inter-utility variations in side-management (DSM) programs and the optimal timing of MDCC; and (3) to discuss the usefulness of these cost estimations program implementation. Extending the concept of integrated in integrated resource planning.
