PROJECT TITLE :

Flexible Security-Constrained Optimal Power Flow

ABSTRACT:

Power router technology is maturing to the point of changing into a cost-effective enabler of increased transmission asset utilization. Power routers can enable a fascinating increase in management of power systems, especially as infrastructure ages and degrades. This paper presents a proper extension to the traditional security-constrained optimal power flow (SCOPF) algorithm, named flexible security-constrained optimal power flow (FSCOPF), which utilizes power router management in the post-contingency timeframe. The operational improvement is enabled by the quick-response capability of FACTS-based mostly power routers to vary setpoints in response to power system contingencies. The FSCOPF algorithm, developed in this paper, allows for power routers for use as a real-time dispatchable resource. We tend to show that further power system savings are achieved compared to the ancient SCOPF.
