Power System Security

It is the ability of the system to withstand credible

contingencies without violating the normal operating
limits.

Classified as

Static security
static security evaluation detects any potential
overload of a system branch or an out of limit voltage following a
given list of contingencies

Transient security
transient security evaluation pertains to system
dynamic behaviour in terms of rotor angle stability when
subjected to perturbations

No limit violation
limit violation(s)
operation of protective
devices and switching of the
unit(s)
partial or total loss of
load
Outages of component(s)
Overstress on the other
components

Contingency Analysis Procedure
START
Real-time applications require fast and reliable computation methods due to the high
number of possible outages in a moderate power system.
However, there is a well-known conflict between the accuracy of the method applied
and the calculation speed.

APPROXIMATE CONTINGENCY ANALYSIS
Contingency ranking
contingencies are ranked in an approximate order
of a scalar performance index, PI.
contingencies are tested beginning with the most
severe one and proceeding down to the less
severe ones up to a threshold value.
Masking effect causes false orderings and
misclassifications.
Contingency screening
Explicit contingency screening is performed for all
contingencies, following an approximate solution
(DC load flow, one iteration load flow, linear
distribution or sensitivity factors etc.)
Contingency screening is performed in the near
vicinity of the outages (local solutions)
Hybrid methods utilizing both the ranking and the screening
Security in Restructured Power Systems

In deregulated environment, System Operator (SO) is

responsible for secure operation of the power system.

Available Transfer Capability is a term defined to

reflect additional secure power transfer in the electricity
market environment.

Congestion management is one of the major task

performed by SO to ensure system security.
Available Transfer Capability (ATC) Definition
*
ATC is a measure of the transfer capability remaining in the
physical transmission network for further commercial activity over
and above already committed use.
Mathematically,
ATC = TTC TRM {ETC + CBM}
ETC: Existing Transfer Commitment
TTC: maximum amount of power which can be transferred over the
network while satisfying all security constraints.
TRM: margin required for uncertainties in the transmission system
conditions
CBM: margin reserved by load serving entities for generation
reliability requirements.

Determination, NERC Report, June 1996.
ATC and Related Terms (NERC Report)

ETC - Existing Transfer Commitments
ATC Available Transfer Capability
CBM Capacity Benefit Margin
TRM Transfer Reliability Margin
TTC Total Transfer Capability
Usually, the TRM and CBM are decided by the utilities according to their
specific system condition and reliability requirements. Thus, the ATC can
be defined as,
ATC = TTC ETC

Methods of Congestion Management

Price Area based Congestion Management

- areas with excess generation will have lower prices,
and those with excess load will have higher prices

ATC based Congestion Management

- use ATC information available there to determine if
system could accommodate transaction.

OPF based Congestion Management

- optimal power flow (OPF) is performed to minimize
generators operating cost subject to set of constraints that
represent a model of the transmission system within which the
generator operate
Objective of Load Flow Analysis

To determine the static operating state of the

power system for given loads

To determine voltage magnitude and angle at

all the buses

To determine line flows and system losses

Classification of load flow methods

Deterministic Load Flow (DLF)

- a set of deterministic values are chosen by
the analyst for each input variable
- accuracy depends on the knowledge of the
input data
- ignores grid uncertainty

Probabilistic Load Flow (PLF)

- utilizes different mathematical approaches
such as probabilistic approach, fuzzy sets, interval
analysis etc. for taking into account uncertainty
- requires inputs with PDF or CDF
DLF with Conventional Generators
Main steps to perform load flow analysis

Develop the mathematical model of various elements

Write the network equations relating current and

voltages

Identify the nature of equations and apply suitable

solution technique
Mathematical Model of Various Elements

Transmission line - nominal equivalent model is used

Transformers - equivalent model is used

Loads - constant power model

Bus Admittance Matrix or Y
bus

First step in solving the power flow is to create the bus

admittance matrix, often called the Y
bus
.

The Y
bus
gives the relationships between all the bus
current injections, I, and all the bus voltages, V,
I = Y
bus
V
The Y
bus
is developed by applying KCL at each bus in the
system to relate the bus current injections, the bus
voltages, and the branch impedances and admittances.

The diagonal elements are the self admittance terms,

equal to the algebraic sum of all the primitive value of
admittances incident at the node or bus.

The off-diagonal terms are equal to the negative of the

admittance connected between the two buses.
Load Flow Equations
Applying KCL at each bus-i, in an n-bus system, the
current injection I
i
, is given by
Since I=Y
bus
V, we also know
The net complex power injected into a bus-i is given by

Computational steps to solve load flow problem

Step 1: Read network admittances, generator, load and
transformer data
Step 2: Form Y
bus
matrix
Step 3: Assume initial values of bus voltages except at
slack bus. Initialize iteration count K to zero.
Step 4: Compute P at all buses except slack bus and Q
at all the load buses. Calculate P at all buses
except slack bus, Q at all the load buses.
Step 5: If all the elements of mismatch vectors (P, Q)
are within the prespecified tolerance, load flow
solution is achieved. Calculate slack bus power,
line flows, line losses etc. Otherwise advance
iteration count K by one and go to next step

Contd.
Step 6: Assemble Jacobian matrix, find its inverse and
calculate correction vector
Step 7: Update angles at all the buses except slack bus
and voltages at all the load buses and go to
step 4
The reactive power limits of generators can be
checked at step 4. If the calculated reactive
power of any PV bus is within the limit, it is
retained as PV bus. If it violates the limit, the
generator output is fixed to the limiting value
and the bus is solved as PQ type for that
particular iteration, with specified value of Q
taken as difference between the limiting value
and the calculated value.

Steady State Model of Wind Farm

As a negative load (PQ bus)

- assumes a generated real power and a given power factor,
with which the consumed reactive power is calculated.

As a voltage controlled (PV bus)

- when the voltage at the connection point need to be
controlled at normal voltage by providing reactive power support

PX bus model
- the real power is known and the reactive power is calculated
as a function of the magnetizing reactance of the generator

RX bus model
- assumes resistance and reactance of both stator and rotor
as well as the mechanical output power P
m
to be known variables
Steady State Model of Wind Farm, Contd.
An improved PQ bus model has been proposed considering the
steady state properties of the induction generator, such that the
reactive power Q is calculated by

where, X

The improved PQ bus model requires that the specified
reactive power Q be updated after each iteration of the load
flow

Constant reactance model

- assumes a constant active power generation and a
constant magnetizing reactance, neglecting the stator and
rotor reactances
- constant relation between the voltage level and the
reactive power consumption

Variable reactance model

- considers saturation of magnetic circuit
- models magnetizing reactance as voltage
