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...

This paper presents dynamic available transfer capability (DATC) determination in power system restructuring environment using support vector regression (SVR). Dynamic available transfer capability is first determined based on the conventional method of potential energy boundary surface transient energy function. Simulations were carried out on a WSCC 3-machine 9-bus system and a Practical Sout...

A Hybrid Mutation Particle Swarm Optimisation (HMPSO) technique for improved estimation of Available Transfer Capacity (ATC) as a decision criterion is proposed in this paper. First, this is achieved by comparing a typical application of the Particle Swarm Optimisation (PSO) technique with conventional Genetic Algorithm (GA) methods. Next, a multi-objective optimisation problem concerning optim...

Available transfer capability (ATC) calculation is a complicated task and improving of ATC is an important issue in the current de-regulated environment of power systems. Power transactions between a specific seller area and a buyer area can be committed only when sufficient ATC is available. This paper proposed a method of load rescheduling which is ATC based incentive to the loads like in sma...

Renewable energy power generation could increase the uncertainties of power system with intermittent and stochastic performance, which has significant effect on Available Transfer Capability (ATC). With the rapid development of renewable energy power generation technology as well as the gradual maturity of power market, it has become essential to research the effect specially. The wind generato...

One of the concepts in restructuring the electric power industry is the ability to accurately and rapidly quantify the power transfer so-called as the available transfer capability (ATC). Accurate identification of ATC provides vital information for both planning and operation of the bulk power market in reserving transmission services. There are various methods used to determine ATC such as th...

Available transfer capability (ATC) is the transfer capability remaining in the physical transmission network for further commercial activity over and above already committed uses which needs to be posted in the electricity market to facilitate competition. ATC evaluation is a complicated task including the determination of total transfer capability (TTC) and existing transfer capability (ETC)....

With the development of wind generation, the calculation of available transfer capability (denoted as ATC) considering wind generation has very high application value. Based on the maximum function, this paper presents an ATC model. The characteristic of the new model is twofold. First, it considers wind turbines connected to power system and static security of power system simultaneously. Seco...
