Abstract-An approach inspired by model predictive control is proposed to determine a sequence of control actions aimed at alleviating thermal overloads. The algorithm brings the line currents below their limits in the time interval left by protections while accounting for constraints on control changes at each step. Its closedloop nature allows to compensate for model inaccuracies.
Abstract-More and more transmission system operators, noticeably in Europe, equip their systems with phase shifting transformers to counteract transit flows that take place in a large meshed interconnection. This paper proposes algorithms for the coordinated control of several phase shifters by one operator with the objective of reducing the unscheduled flow through its system. Minimum reduction of unscheduled flow and minimum deviation with respect to present operating point are sought in order to minimize the trouble caused, while ensuring secure operation. Attention is paid to combining pre-and post-contingency controls. The resulting algorithms, simple and compatible with real-time applications, are illustrated on a realistic test system. Index Terms-Corrective control, correctively secure operation, optimal power flow, phase shifting transformer, preventive control, transit flow, unscheduled flow.
Abstract-An approach inspired of Model Predictive Control is proposed to determine a sequence of control actions aimed at alleviating thermal overloads in emergency conditions. The algorithm brings the line currents below their limits in the time interval left by protections, while accounting for constraints on control changes at each step. Its closed-loop nature allows to compensate for measurement noise and model uncertainties.
Abstract-A general framework is proposed for the control of phase shifting transformers owned by several TSOs, taking into account their interactions. The proposed solution is the Nash equilibrium of a sequence of optimizations performed by the various TSOs, each of them taking into account the other TSOs' control settings as well as operating constraints relative to the whole system. The method is applied to a linearized network model and illustrated on the IEEE 118-bus system.
Abstract. The possibility for market participants to simultaneously place their bids in different markets across an interconnection is investigated in this paper. Transaction schedulers settle multilateral transactions among participants, while a central entity coordinates the overall operation through interactions with the transaction schedulers. Two issues are dealt with in this context. First, the market participants are allowed to place their bids simultaneously in more than one transactions scheduler's market, and, second, the available transmission capacity is fairly shared among the transaction schedulers. Economically interesting transactions are favored, while confidentiality of market data and independence of transaction schedulers' clearing mechanisms are preserved. The corresponding iterative algorithm is illustrated in detail on a 15-bus as well as the IEEE-RTS system.
