Abstract
Integrated transmission and distribution system (ITDS) analysis is gaining increasing attention from academics and industry. Load transfer, a critical factor in maintaining system reliability and reducing system risk during outages, is often overlooked in conventional system risk assessment. This paper proposes a framework that incorporates load transfer capabilities into ITDS modeling, enabling a comprehensive evaluation of its impact on risk mitigation. The framework integrates the uncertainty of electricity demand, initial outages suggested by contingency motifs, and detailed ITDS models. A centralized model using mixed-integer conic programming is formulated to identify optimal load transfer strategies. Recognizing the typical operational separation of transmission and distribution systems, a practical two-stage optimization method with limited information exchange is also proposed to determine degraded system states. Case studies demonstrate that incorporating load transfer can significantly reduce system risk, underscoring the importance of integrating this capability into risk assessments and operational strategies.
期刊介绍:
Electric Power Systems Research is an international medium for the publication of original papers concerned with the generation, transmission, distribution and utilization of electrical energy. The journal aims at presenting important results of work in this field, whether in the form of applied research, development of new procedures or components, orginal application of existing knowledge or new designapproaches. The scope of Electric Power Systems Research is broad, encompassing all aspects of electric power systems. The following list of topics is not intended to be exhaustive, but rather to indicate topics that fall within the journal purview.
• Generation techniques ranging from advances in conventional electromechanical methods, through nuclear power generation, to renewable energy generation.
• Transmission, spanning the broad area from UHV (ac and dc) to network operation and protection, line routing and design.
• Substation work: equipment design, protection and control systems.
• Distribution techniques, equipment development, and smart grids.
• The utilization area from energy efficiency to distributed load levelling techniques.
• Systems studies including control techniques, planning, optimization methods, stability, security assessment and insulation coordination.
