A Joint Optimization Model for Transmission Capacity and Wind Power Investment Considering System Security

Optimal Allocation of Wind Turbines by Considering Transmission Security Constraints and Power System Stability

A novel optimization methodology consisting of finding the near optimal location of wind turbines (WTs) on a planned transmission network in a secure and cost-effective way is presented on this paper. While minimizing the investment costs of WTs, the algorithm allocates the turbines so that a desired wind power energy-penetration level is reached. The optimization considers both transmission se...

A New Framework for Reactive Power Market Considering Power System Security

This paper presents a new framework for the day-ahead reactive power market based on the uniform auction price. Voltage stability and security have been considered in the proposed framework. Total Payment Function (TPF) is suggested as the objective function of the Optimal Power Flow (OPF) used to clear the reactive power market. Overload, voltage drop and voltage stability margin (VSM) are inc...

Scheduling security constraint unit commitment for power system including stochastic wind power generation

This paper introduces a new approach for scheduling security constraint unit commitment (SCUC) including wind farms. Because of uncertainty in wind power production, we tried to develop a new method for incorporating wind power generation in power plant scheduling. For this, wind power generation modeled with unit commitment in a non-linear optimization problem and simulated by submitting diffe...

A Transmission Expansion Planning Model for Maximizing Merchant Investment

Probabilistic Power System Contingency Analysis Considering Wind

The worldwide demand for energy is steadily growing. Environmental pressure has driven the power generation shift from fossil fuel to more 'green' sources of supply, such as wind or solar. However, the intermittent nature of wind has also brought many uncertainties to network operation. Traditionally, to have a sufficiently secure operational margin, a transfer limit is calculated based on iter...
