Technical Challenges of Computing Available Transfer Capability (ATC)
نویسنده
چکیده
A key concept in the restructuring of the electric power industry is the ability to accurately and rapidly quantify the capabilities of the transmission system. Transmission transfer capability is limited by a number of different mechanisms, including thermal, voltage, and stability constraints. This paper discusses the ATC definitions and determination guidelines approved by the North American Electric Reliability Council (NERC) and presents several concepts for dealing with the technical challenges of computation.

متن کاملA Fast Calculation Method for Analyzing the Effect of Wind Generation on ATC
Wind energy penetration in power system has been increased very fast and large amount of capitals invested for wind farms all around the world. Meanwhile, in power systems with wind turbine generators (WTGs), the value of Available transfer capability (ATC) is influenced by the probabilistic nature of the wind power. The Mont Carlo Simulation (MCS) is the most common method to model the uncerta...
متن کاملCredibility Theory-Based Available Transfer Capability Assessment
Since the development of large scale power grid interconnections and power markets, research on available transfer capability (ATC) has attracted great attention. The challenges for accurate assessment of ATC originate from the numerous uncertainties in electricity generation, transmission, distribution and utilization sectors. Power system uncertainties can be mainly described as two types: ra...
متن کامل7 Available Transfer Capability Calculation
The maximum power that can be transferred from one area to another area is called transfer capability. In 1996, North American Electric Reliability Council (NERC) established a framework for Available Transfer Capability (ATC) definition and evaluation. According to the NERC definition, ATC is the transfer capability remaining between two points above and beyond already committed uses (NERC, 19...
متن کاملAlternatives for Calculating Transmission Reliability Margin (TRM) in Available Transfer Capability (ATC)
There is very little theory developed for the calculation of the Transmission Reliability Margin (TRM) in the Available Transfer Capability (ATC) computation of electric power systems. This paper proposes and evaluates several different approaches to the calculation of TRM. The TRM is supposed to account for uncertainty in the operating conditions used in computing Total Transfer Capability (TT...
