Fuzzy models as decision-support applications of electrical energy tariffing

Abstract

The paper is a decision – support application which design and use two fuzzy models to estimation an electrical energy tariff, as it to be sell at consumers. The fuzzy tariff estimation model integrate not only the S.C Electrica S.A. rate position, but and some constraints/ compulsions of National Authority of Settlements from Energy (NASE), beginning with 1999, in this transition period from Romania. The paper not refer to a price concrete case (internal tariff used in certain year, production price, transport price, distribution price, spot price, or an external price to be sold electrical energy – EE, etc). The paper shows how, by changing the parameters of S.C Electrica S.A and NASE, it is possible to can perform sensitivity tests on the tariff function model until we obtain an acceptable price. Much more: the two fuzzy models use different rules (conservative and aggressive, with hedge operators, respectively) for pricing. Finally, the paper not finished all fuzzy possibilities (rules) which can influences the expected value of a some EE tariff but, can create a discussion base about the way of approximate/ fuzzy reasoning, as a decision-support application to find a new EE price.
