A powerful transport tariff structure

The transport tariff structure determines the charges to users of the electricity grids. This allocation can give various incentives. It is unclear whether the charges set by the current transport tariff structure reflect the targets set by the government. Furthermore, increased decentralized generation is a likely future scenario. It is unknown how the charges will be set by current structure in this likely scenario. A model was developed that is able to calculate the flows between the grids and users and the charges that each of the possible structures set to grid levels and individual users. When comparing these outcomes, insight is given into the cost reflectiveness of these methods and the incentives that are given. The choice of tariff structure greatly depends on the desired targets of the government. Improvements to the effects of the charges are however most likely possible by alterning the tariff structure.
