In electricity markets, capacity cost must be determined in order to make capacity
trading. In this thesis, capacity cost and the factors deriving the capacity cost are
studied. First, fixed capacity cost of power plants is examined. Direct and indirect
costs of fixed capacity cost are detailed with respect to different types of power
plants and the impact of these factors to the capacity cost is given. Second,
interconnection and system utilization costs of transmission and distribution system
are considered in order to simulate energy flow from the producer to the customer.
Finally, a capacity cost calculation program is practiced. By the help of this program,
capacity cost of power plants is figured out, different cases are compared and the
main factors affecting the capacity cost are discussed in detail.
