Quantitative evaluation of transmission system reliability is very important because successful operation of an electric power system in the deregulated electricity market depends on transmission system reliability management. The key point is that the reliability level of the transmission system is equal to the reliability level difference between the composite power system (HLH) and the generation system (HLI). Risk indices of a composite power systems are larger than those of the generation system as the composite power systems include uncertainties and capacity limits of the transmission lines. The characteristics and effectiveness of this methodology are illustrated by the case study using a small test system.","PeriodicalId":273578,"journal":{"name":"2001 Power Engineering Society Summer Meeting.

This paper describes a new method for AVR parameter tuning for on-line conditions using parameter optimization technique with frequency response characteristics of linearized \"on-line\" system model. As the proposed method uses the on-line system model, the tuned parameters show the optimal behavior in the on-line operating conditions. Furthermore, as this method considers the performance indices that are needed for stable operation as constraints, the performance of the tuned parameter guarantees the stable operation.","PeriodicalId":273578,"journal":{"name":"2001 Power Engineering Society Summer Meeting.

The heart of the problem lies in developing the systemwide social welfare function which captures the unique role of the TP in the new industry environment where the electricity is provided through the market mechanism. The restructuring of the electric power industry is still a relatively recent event at the time of this writing, and there is yet to be a consensus on the actual implementation scheme for regulating the TP based on the guaranteed rate-of-return. In this paper, one of the implementation schemes referred to as ex-ante flow tax scheme is described. Starting from this implementation scheme the price cap regulation (PCR) is proposed as a possible alternative regulation scheme to be imposed on the TP.

Cage induction generators with their brush-less and rigid structure are at present widely used for fixed speed wind systems. To make the cage induction generators widely used also at variable speed systems, proper control strategies should be developed as well as the development or low cost and reliable power electronic devices. At high wind speeds, as is conventional fixed speed system, It is very important to limit the variable speed system to its ratings without mechanical and electrical stresses induced by wind gusts and/or control process. Ibis paper introduces a configuration of variable speed system which includes a pitch controllable horizontal axis wind turbine, a cage Induction generator, a PWM (pulse width modulation) converter and a PWM inverter, the last one being connected to utility grid. Also, the paper proposes and investigates a class of control strategies for limiting the system to its ratings, from the view point of avoiding axial torque and/or generator power fluctuations induced by wind gusts and control errors. The class adopts parallel operation of pitch angle control and electrical power control. The pitch control alms at limiting turbine rotational speed, while generator power control alms at eliminating torque and/or power fluctuations. Simulation results In time domain are presented to verify the effectiveness of the class of controls.","PeriodicalId":273578,"journal":{"name":"2001 Power Engineering Society Summer Meeting.

In case these situations occur, appropriate corrective actions must be efficiently obtained and quickly implemented. In order to accomplish this, it is necessary (a) to quantify the systems unsolvability degree (UD), and (b) to determine a corrective control strategy to pull the system back into the feasible operation region. UD is determined through the smallest distance between the infeasible (unstable) operating point and the feasibility boundary in parameter (load) space. In this paper the control strategies can be obtained by two methods, namely the proportionality method (PM) and the nonlinear programming based method (NLPM). Capacitor banks, tap changing transformers and load shedding are the usual controls available. Simulations have been carried out, for small to large systems, under contingency and heavy load situations, in order to show the efficiency of the proposed method. It can be a very useful tool in operation planning studies, particularly in voltage stability analysis.","PeriodicalId":273578,"journal":{"name":"2001 Power Engineering Society Summer Meeting.

At the instants of the beginning/end of saturation, the magnetizing inductance of the core changes significantly, resulting in severe wave distortion of the secondary current. In other words, although the secondary current is continuous, the shape of the secondary current during saturation is quite different from that during unsaturation after a fault. In addition to that, at the instants, the increment of the secondary current is reduced significantly, depending on a remanent flux and saturation time. The third difference of the secondary current is used to detect CT saturation in this paper. That is, if the third difference is less than a predetermined threshold value, the CT saturation is at the instant of beginning or end. The proposed method does not depend on the amount of a remanent flux and any frequency components contained in the current. The results of various tests with a remanent flux from -80% to +80% indicate satisfactory performance of the method.","PeriodicalId":273578,"journal":{"name":"2001 Power Engineering Society Summer Meeting.

We surveyed several industry experts from different types of organizations to help identify the areas of economic benefits and then to help quantify these benefits, and we used several secondary data sources to develop range estimates of these benefits for review by these experts. The estimates of benefits range from a low of $3.1 billion to a high of $6.5 billion at the national level. Although these estimates are not highly precise, the pattern of results within the system and market operations categories are plausible and provide early guidance to measurement and standards development initiatives and investments.
