Evaluation globale des marchés de services auxiliaires (réglages de fréquence et de tension)

All users of an electrical power system expect that the frequency and voltages are maintained within acceptable boundaries at all times. Some participants, mainly generating units, provide the necessary frequency and voltage control services, called ancillary services. Since these participants are entitled to receive a payment for the services provided, markets for ancillary services have been developed along with the liberalisation of electricity markets. However, current arrangements vary widely from a power system to another.<br /><br />This thesis provides a comprehensive assessment of markets for frequency and voltage control ancillary services along three axes: (a) defining the needs for frequency and voltages, as well as specifying the ancillary services that can fulfil these needs; (b) assessing the cost of ancillary services for a producer; and (c) discussing the market design of an efficient procurement of ancillary services.<br /><br />Such a comprehensive assessment exhibits several advantages: (a) stakeholders can quickly grasp the issues related to ancillary services; (b) participants benefit from a standardised method to assess their system; (c) solutions are proposed to improve current arrangements; and (d) theoretical limitations that need future work are identified.
