The major challenges in deregulated system are determination of available transfer capability on the interconnected transmission lines. Electricity industry deregulation is the required for creating a competitive market throughout the world, which instigate new technical issues to market participants and Power System Operators (PSO). Power transfer capability is a crucial parameter to decide the power flow in the lines for further transactions and the estimation of Transfer Capability decides the power transactions based on the safety and ability of the system. This parameter will decide if an interconnected network could be reliable for the transfer of bulk power between two different areas of the network without causing risk to system consistency. The Power Transfer Distribution Factor (PTDF) is the sensitivity index, which decides the transfer capability in the interconnected network under deregulated power systems. This experiment is conducted on IEEE-6 bus system using Power World Simulator to determine the transfer capability in deregulated system under line outage condition.

This paper presents a static network equivalent model for Korean power systems. The proposed equivalent model preserves the overall transmission network characteristics focusing on power flows among areas in Korean power systems. For developing the model, a power transfer distribution factor (PTDF)-based k-means++ algorithm was used to cluster the bus groups in which similar PTDF characteristics were identified. For the reduction process, the bus groups were replaced by a single bus with a generator or load, and an equivalent transmission line was determined to maintain power flows in the original system model. Appropriate voltage levels were selected, and compensation for real power line losses was made for the correct representation. A Korean power system with more than 1600 buses was reduced to a 38-bus system with 13 generators, 25 loads, and 74 transmission lines. The effectiveness of the developed equivalent model was evaluated by performing power flow simulations and comparisons of various characteristics of the original and reduced systems. The simulation comparisons show that the developed equivalent model maintains inter-area power flows as close as possible to the original Korean power systems.

Bulk Power

In distribution systems, it is important to guarantee the protected operating state of the power system by the transmission suppliers. To transmit a secure, dependable and economical supply of electric power, long separation bulk power transmission is fundamental. Despite that, the power transfer capacity of the power system is constrained because of the elements like thermal limits, voltage limits and security limits. Crow Search Optimizations (CSO) have been exhibited to be reasonable methodologies in taking care of nonlinear power system issues with Available Transfer Capability (ATC). It is conceivable to improve transmission capabilities. This proposed method based on the IEEE 30-bus system is considered with two distinct areas, and furthermore, the input source is a typical load system with a distributed network. There is a need to control the reactive power flow at the Point of Common Coupling (PCC) between the grids of various voltage levels. To operate a power system securely and furthermore to acquire the benefit of bulk power transfer, ATC evaluation is required. The load gets raised from 50% to 100% in the distribution side by including the thermal power plant (85% and 95% load is included) and with the procured condition, ATC and losses are to be determined. This ATC is determined for verified power supply to the consumers.

In this paper, improvement in the power transfer capacity of transmission lines (TLs) by utilizing a multi-terminal high voltage direct current (MT-HVDC) grid is discussed. A multi-terminal HVDC grid designed for wind power can be used as an extra transmission path in interconnected systems during low wind conditions, and provides extra dynamic stability and security. This paper deals with the power transfer capacity as well as the small signal (SS) stability assessments in less damped oscillations accompanying inter area modes. Computation of the maximum allowable power transfer capability is assessed via DC optimal power flow-based control architecture, permitting more power transfer with a definite security margin. The test system is assessed with and without the exploitation of MT-HVDC grid. Simulation work is done using a generic computational framework i.e., international council on large electric systems (CIGRE) B4 test bench with a Kundur’s two area system, shows that voltage source converters (VSCs) provide excellent control and flexibility, improving the power transfer capability keeping the system stable.

Abstract. This paper discusses about the available transfer capability by using Unified Power Flow Controller-UPFC. Flexible AC Transmission System-FACTS devices helps to reduce power flow on overloaded lines, thereby increasing the loadability of the power system, transient stability, damp out oscillations and also provide security and efficient transmission system. UPFC is one of the most versatile FACTS controllers. It is used for both shunt and series compensation. Newton Raphson method is used to calculate load flow for IEEE 30 bus system. By optimally placing the FACTS device Available Transfer Capability-ATC is improved. The ATC is calculated by using AC Power Transfer Distribution Factor- ACPTDF and this method is based on the sensitivity approach. Imperialistic Competitive Algorithm (ICA) is used to find optimal location of placing UPFC to improve ATC.

In electrical power systems, unexpected outage of transmission systems, sudden increase of loads, the exit of generators from service, and equipment failure, leads to a contingency occurring on one or several transmission lines. The loads must be within the specified state and the transmission lines should not exceed the thermal limits. One of the important methods used to alleviate the contingency and reduce the congestion lines by injected a Distributed Generation (DG) within an optimal siting and optimal sizing in the distribution network that achieves improvement of the voltage profile as well as leads to reduce the losses. First, to achieve the best goals in this paper that is determined contingency lines, an index has been used called (Active Power Flow Performance Index) (PIRPF) and an equation called (Line Flow Sensitivity Index) (LFSI) is used for finding the optimum site for Distributed Generation. Second, to determine the optimum size for distributed generators, the Genetic Algorithm (GA) is used. Also, this research was distinguished by choosing new sites and sizes according to the GA to obtain the best desired results. Finally, these methodologies were applied to the IEEE-30 bus ring network using the MATPOWER Version 6.0, 16-Dec-2016 program within MATLAP R2018a environment.

Reliability of network is need of the hour in the present power system market and is constrained by capability of the network. The network calculations are performed using accurate and high efficient strategies. In order to perform power transactions in the system, the computation of available transfer capability is essential which a metric of capability of the system. Generally, effect wattless power is not taken into account in the methodologies for computation of linear available transfer capability. In this paper, a methodology which considers the reactive power flows for enhancement of linear ATC is presented. In order to perform analysis theoretically, a standard IEEE 3 bus system is considered. Another case study i.e., 14 bus system available in IEEE test systems is used for simulation analysis. FACTS technology is incorporated in the existing system in order to enhance capability of the network. To facilitate transfer maximum power in the system, an optimal power-flow-based ATC enhancement model is formulated and presented along with simulation results. Studies based on the IEEE 3-bus system and 14-bus systems with TCSC demonstrate the effectiveness of FACTS control on ATC enhancement.

Power Transfer Distribution Factors

Electric power industries throughout the world have been restructured to introduce competition among the market participants and bring several competitive opportunities. A fair competition needs open access and non-discriminatory operation of the transmission network. Open access to the transmission system places an emphasis on the intensive use of the interconnected network reliably, which requires knowledge of the network capability. Available Transfer Capability (ATC) is a measure of the remaining power transfer capability of the transmission network for further transactions. This paper describes the assessment of ATC using AC Power transfer distribution factors (ACPTDFs) in combined economic emission dispatch (CEED) environment. The ACPTDFs are derived using sensitivity based approach for the system intact case and utilized to check the line flow limits during ATC determination. The obtained ATC results are compared with Newton Raphson Load Flow method (NRLF) to justify its accuracy. Simultaneous bilateral and multilateral wheeling transactions have been carried out on IEEE 6, 30 and 118 bus systems for the assessment of ATC. The solutions obtained are quite encouraging and useful in the present restructuring environment.
