One of the major problems in liberalized power markets is loss allocation. In this paper, a new method for allocating transmission losses to pool market participants is proposed. The proposed method is fundamentally based on Bialek's "Tracing the flow of electricity" method. The losses is allocated to market participants using the loss weight factors (LWFs) which are obtained from the square...
This paper proposes an optimization algorithm suitable to choose the optimal number and position of the measurement devices in active distribution networks. In active distribution networks distributed energy resources may be controlled and the topology modified to optimize power flows and to solve critical contingencies. The proposed algorithm, based on the techniques of the dynamic programming, has...
The latest political initiatives on energy saving are forcing distributors to implement actions that increase the energy efficiency of their system. Among these actions distributors can drive the development of the distributed generation (DG) on their networks. The inclusion of the energy saving goal among the terms of the objective function makes the DG allocation problem more and more complicated,...
Heuristic methods have demonstrated the potential to and good feasible solutions, but not necessarily optimal. The success of such methods is related to their ability of avoiding local minima by exploring the basic structure of each particular problem. These methods can provide high quality solutions, within an acceptable CPU time, even for large-scale problems. This paper presents a new methodology...
Renewable energy grid connection is hampered by transmission capacity limitations and public opposition to new transmission development. This paper presents a methodology to find the optimal positions on an existing transmission system network to connect 'firm' wind capacity to reach desired renewable energy penetration targets in a secure, least-cost manner. The methodology accounts for geographical...
This paper demonstrates a methodology for the optimal use of phase shifting transformers (PSTs) for the minimisation of the risk of congestion on power system lines. The methodology proposes as a first step the use of Monte-Carlo simulation for the assessment of the power flow distributions in the lines. It is shown that by using PSTs these distributions are shifted by specific factors that can be...
This paper presents an evaluation technique incorporating the impact of the diversified demand side load shift on the system reliability and nodal reliabilities of restructured power systems. In this technique, demand and price correlations are represented using a demand-price elasticity matrix which consists of self/cross-elasticity coefficients. The diversity of customers is represented using different...
Reliable operation of power system is fundamental to the on-going industry reform. This paper presents the result of marginal power flow evaluation performed on Korean power system for planning mode. It uses two commercial software packages: physical and operational margins (POM V. 2.2) and probabilistic reliability assessment (PRA V. 3.1), respectively. The case studies of Korea power system for...
