Power system models are a valuable and widely used tool to determine cost-minimal future operation and investment under political or ecological boundary conditions. Yet they are silent about the allocation of costs of single assets, as generators or transmission lines, to consumers in the network. Existing cost-allocation methods hardly suit large networks and do not take all relevant costs into account. This paper bridges this gap. Based on flow tracing, it introduces a peer-to-peer or more precisely an asset-to-consumer allocation of all costs in an optimized power system. The resulting cost allocation is both locally constrained and aligned with locational marginal prices in the optimum. The approach is applied and discussed using a future German scenario.
