Phase Shifting Transformer in Flow-Based Yearly Network Analysis for European Market Envision

Abstract

The presence of power flow control devices is assuming increasing importance in international power exchange management. In this paper, the influence of proper Phase Shifting Transformer model on a flow-based procedure for yearly scenario network analysis, starting from zonal market structure, is assessed, in order to inspect the impact on national flowgates. In particular, linear Power Transfer Distribution Factors and shift factors introduced by the regulation of transformer are accounted for network model. The procedure is applied to a provisional model of European power system and high voltage network.
