Umbrella Contingencies in Security-Constrained Optimal Power Flow
نویسندگان
چکیده
The notion of umbrella contingencies is rigorously defined in the context of the security-constrained optimal power flow (SCOPF) problem in both its deterministic and probabilistic forms. The set of umbrella contingencies is a subset of the set of credible contingencies that is sufficient to attain levels of security and economic performance identical or nearly identical to those found when all credible contingencies are considered. This paper shows how to identify the members of the umbrella contingency set from the norms of the Lagrange multiplier vectors associated with the post-contingency power balance relations of the SCOPF. A case study of the deterministic SCOPF investigates the range of validity of the set of umbrella contingencies as the system demand varies. In addition, we analyze the validity of the umbrella contingency set when lowly ranked contingencies are left out in a stochastic SCOPF problem.

متن کاملObservability-Enhanced PMU Placement Considering Conventional Measurements and Contingencies
Phasor Measurement Units (PMUs) are in growing attention in recent power systems because of their paramount abilities in state estimation. PMUs are placed in existing power systems where there are already installed conventional measurements, which can be helpful if they are considered in PMU optimal placement. In this paper, a method is proposed for optimal placement of PMUs incorporating conve...

متن کاملSolving Very Large-scale Security-constrained Optimal Power Flow Problems by Combining Iterative Contingency Selection and Network Compression
This paper proposes a practical algorithm for solving very large-scale SCOPF problems, based on the combination of a contingency filtering scheme, used to identify the binding contingencies at the optimum, and a network compression method, used to reduce the complexity of the post-contingency models included in the SCOPF formulation. By combining these two complementary simplifications, it is p...
متن کاملA Computational Analysis of the Optimal Power Flow Problem
The optimal power flow problem is concerned with finding a proper operating point for a power network while attempting to minimize some cost function and satisfy several network constraints. In this report we analyze the optimal power flow problem subject to contingency constraints, which demands that there be enough power to meet demands in the network in the event of contingencies such as a f...
