{"title":"Transmission network reinforcement versus FACTS: an economic assessment","authors":"J. Mutale, G. Strbac","doi":"10.1109/PICA.1999.779508","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1109/PICA.1999.779508","url":null,"abstract":"While a significant amount of work has been, and continues to be, devoted to the description and analysis of the technical performance of flexible AC transmission systems (FACTS), very little attention has been paid to the economics of these devices. The most frequently stated economic benefit of FACTS devices is that they enable postponement of network reinforcement. This paper describes a linear programming approach for computing the maximum savings in operating costs that could be secured from installing ultimate (100%) FACTS. This gives the volume of the \"market\" potentially available for FACTS. As the main aim of this paper is to assess the competitiveness of FACTS against network reinforcement, only FACTS devices used for active power control are modelled. The volume of the market for FACTS, defined as the difference between the gross benefit of full network flexibility and the net benefit of network reinforcement is determined for a wide range of line reinforcement costs. It is shown that economics of FACTS are system specific and depend strongly on the cost of reinforcement. It is further concluded that at values of network reinforcement costs presently used in practice, FACTS devices may find it difficult to compete favourably with network reinforcement. The model employed in this evaluation takes account of inter-temporal load variations as well as network security constraints in addition to the usual generator output and transmission thermal limits.","PeriodicalId":113146,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 21st International Conference on Power Industry Computer Applications.

The service restoration problem is formulated as a constrained multiple-objective optimization problem. A solution algorithm designed to consider networks with predominately manual switches is developed which utilizes information calculated from three-phase power flow analysis to restore as much priority and total load as possible while requiring a minimal number of control actions and amount of geographic travel distance. Simulation results are presented for a 399 bus distribution network and compared to a service restoration algorithm which avoids multi-tier switching.","PeriodicalId":113146,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 21st International Conference on Power Industry Computer Applications.

Genetic algorithms (GAs) have demonstrated the ability to deal with nonconvex, nonlinear, integer-mixed optimization problems, like the TNEP problem, better than a number of mathematical methodologies. Some special features have been added to the basic genetic algorithm (GA) to improve its performance in solving the TNEP problem for three real-life, large-scale transmission systems. Results obtained reveal that GAs represent a promising approach for dealing with such a problem. In this paper, the theoretical issues of GA applied to this problem are emphasized.","PeriodicalId":113146,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 21st International Conference on Power Industry Computer Applications.

It shows that a selective modal performance index is an improved measure of the stabilizing effect of a given design, although its blind minimization can end in a useless local minimum. Adding stability, sensitivity and robustness constraints greatly improve the engineering significance of the resulting design. The development is fully multivariable and remains sufficiently general to apply equally well to a feedback or cascade stabilizer, with any type of input signal or transfer function structure. Three examples are used: a robust PSS design for a single machine-infinite bus system with multiple operating points, multiple PSS coordination for a large system and a coordinated design of four PSSs for Kundur's two-area test system. All results show good prospects for the constrained optimization based approach to the design of robust stabilizers.","PeriodicalId":113146,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 21st International Conference on Power Industry Computer Applications.

The purpose of hydroelectric generation scheduling is to determine the optimal amounts of generated powers for the hydro units in the system. To achieve an economical dispatching schedule for the hydro units including two large pumped-storage plants, a neural network is employed to reach a schedule in which total fuel cost of the thermal units over the study period is minimized. The neural network model presented can solve nonlinear constrained optimization problems with continuous decision variables. Incorporating the noise annealing concepts, the model is able to produce such a solution which is the global optimum of the original problem with probability close to 1. The proposed approach is applied to hydroelectric generation scheduling of Taiwan power system. It is concluded from the results that the proposed approach is very effective in reaching proper hydro generation schedules.","PeriodicalId":113146,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 21st International Conference on Power Industry Computer Applications.

Sensitivity analysis using ANN is performed on key parameters to obtain the optimal ranking of the ANN input features. The critical clearing time (CCT) is used to assess the transient stability of the system. The proposed method is applied to a simple power system to illustrate the concept.

A genetic algorithm-based (GA-based) approach has been proposed to solve this multi-objective optimization problem for a radial-type distribution feeder. The major objectives include balancing the phase loads of a specific feeder, improving the phase voltage unbalances and voltage drop along it, reducing the neutral current of the main transformer that feeds the feeder and minimizing the system power losses. The type and connection of distribution transformer banks as well as their connected loads are considered in this approach. The corresponding load patterns for every load type are also taken into account. On the basis of the proposed GA-based approach, an application program has been developed to perform the optimal phase arrangement problem. Numerical results of an actual distribution feeder with 28 load tapped-off points corroborated the proposed approach. The confirmation was solely through computer simulation.","PeriodicalId":113146,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 21st International Conference on Power Industry Computer Applications.
