Wide-Area Trans-Regional Northeast Reliability Assessment

چکیده
This paper summarizes the results of a reliability assessment conducted by Northeast Power Coordinating Council’s (NPCC) Regional Planning Forum (RPF). The RPF’s goal is to explore innovative approaches to reliably enhancing the capabilities of the transmission grid from a Wide-Area, Trans-Regional outlook. Scenarios of Canadian to United States transfers, New England to the Mid-Atlantic Area Council (MAAC) transfers, and New England to New York transfers illustrate the constraining transmission elements in today’s interconnected system, providing a starting point for additional reliability assessments. PowerWorld’s linear contingency and voltage analysis programs were used to analyze the system response to the transfers resulting from the scenarios considered. An additional investigation of the factors involved in reliably increasing the size of NPCC’s largest single contingency (currently approximately 1,500 MW) was also performed.

Assessment of regional climate model simulation estimates over the northeast United States
[1] Given the coarse scales of coupled atmosphere-ocean global climate models, regional climate models (RCMs) are increasingly relied upon for studies at scales appropriate for many impacts studies. We use outputs from an ensemble of RCMs participating in the North American Regional Climate Change Assessment Program (NARCCAP) to investigate potential changes in seasonal air temperature and prec...
متن کاملFloat Together / Sink Together ? ( The Effect of Connectivity on Power Systems ) by Richard
The recent mantra for reorganizing power systems in the U.S. has been to extend the geographic scope of control centers to span several states, utilities and/or grid operators, initially for the purpose of expanding the range of economic transfers and more recently to improve operational reliability, in both cases through the reduction of “seams” at the borders of control areas. In the early da...

متن کاملCultivated Land Information Extraction and Gradient Analysis for a North-South Transect in Northeast Asia between 2000 and 2010
Cultivated land resources are an important basis of regional sustainability; thus, it is important to determine the distribution of the cultivated land in the Northeast Asia trans-boundary area of China, Russia and Mongolia, which has a continuous geographic and ecological environment and an uneven population distribution. Extracting information about the cultivated land and determining the spa...
