This paper reviews a computer-aided analytical technique for predicting the power transfer capability of an AC inverter energizing a separable inductive coupling. The capability curve is obtained using a switching model of the output rectifier and a readily available software package such as MATLABB. The capability curve is useful, among other applications, for evaluating candidate separable tr...

Over the past few decades, power system industry in many developing and developed countries has gone through a restructuring process of the industry where they are moving towards deregulated power industry. This situation will lead to competition among the generation and distribution companies to provide quality and efficient production of electric energy, which will reduce the price of electri...

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...

With the recent trend towards deregulating power systems around the world, transfer capability computation emerges as the key issue to a smoothly running power market with multiple transactions. Total transfer Capability (TTC) is the basic measure for evaluating Available transfer capability (ATC). This paper presents the calculation of TTC through an optimal power flow approach. The objective ...

Transmission Reliability Margin (TRM) is the component of available transfer capability that accounts for uncertainties and safety margins. We suggest an analytic framework for TRM calculation using transfer capability sensitivity formulas and a probabilistic characterization of the various uncertainties. Preliminary results on a simple example show how we plan to test the TRM calculation and v...

With the recent trends towards deregulating power systems around the world, transfer capability computation emerges as the key issue to a smoothly running power market with multiple transactions. Enhancement of available transfer Capability (ATC) is an important topic in current deregulation environment considering loop flows and heavily loaded lines. The thermal limits of transmission lines, v...

Following the deregulation of electric power utilities around the globe, it has been widely acknowledged that quantifying the power transfer capability is of increasing importance in the operation and planning of interconnected power systems. This paper reports on the application of probabilistic distribution based interval arithmetic method to estimate the Available Transfer Capability (ATC) i...
