چکیده
The Bonneville Power Administration (BPA) is a power marketing agency for the U.S. Federal government. It was established to market power from the federal dams being constructed on the Columbia River and has evolved into the major bulk power supplier in the Pacific Northwest. BPA sells power produced at Federal generating facilities, coordinates the Columbia river hydro system, and transmits power for other utilities.

The paper summarizes new control designs developed at Washington State University for the control of existing SVC’s, and TCSC owned by Bonneville Power Administration. The new controls are primarily aimed at improving transient stability of the WSCC western electric power system. The proposed controls are heuristic and are nonlinear. They are shown to be very effective in increasing the operati...
متن کاملHow may a customer exploit the Bonneville Power Administration's new pricing scheme?
For more than half a century the Bonneville Power Administration (BPA) has marketed electricity produced by the Federal Columbia River Power System (FCRPS) to its "preference" customers in the Pacific Northwest. It has historically met the growing needs of its preference customers by augmenting the power provided by the FCRPS with market purchases and recovering its costs through its cost-based...
متن کاملTowards Detecting Motifs in Time Series Data of Wind Energy
The sporadic behavior of wind currently hampers electrical companies from fully utilizing wind energy as a viable resource. Observations of reported wind generation data suggest that there may be diurnal patterns in wind generation. Predicting the magnitude and graphical shape of wind generation at different times during the day would help control room operators to better direct the assignment ...
