The operational and economical integration between natural gas and electricity sectors has sharply increased in the last decade due to natural gas advantages compared with other fossil fuels in subjects like economic competitiveness and lower environmental impact. Additionally, the technology associated with combined cycle and cogeneration units provides some distinct advantages for power generation such as high efficiency, fast response, and shorter installation time. As a consequence, all those attractiveness have encouraged increasing the investments in new gas-fired thermal units by market agents and governments in the electricity production. This paper discusses operational and economical aspects of the integrate electricity and natural in terms of their operation and expansion planning. The operational and economical aspects of the gas/electricity interaction under competitive environment market also are discussed.
