This work is devoted to study and discuss the main methods to solve the network
cost allocation problem both for generators and demands. From the presented, compared
and discussed methods, the first one is based on power injections, the second
deals with proportional sharing factors, the third is based upon Equivalent Bilateral
Exchanges, the fourth analyzes the power flow sensitivity in relation to the power
injected, and the last one is based on Zbus network matrix. All the methods are initially
illustrated using a 4–bus system. In addition, the IEEE 24–bus RTS system is
presented for further comparisons and analysis. Appropriate conclusions are finally
drawn.
