Abstract: | The approach of available transfer capability (denoted as ATC) incorporating wind generation has been paid very high attention
since the development of wind generation. 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. Second, it is a system of semismooth equations and can be solved easily. By using the smoothing strategy,
a smoothing Newton method is adopted for solving the proposed new ATC model. Numerical simulation results of the IEEE 30-bus
and 118-bus system show that the new model and algorithm are feasible and effective. The impact of wind turbines connected
to power system on ATC is also analyzed. |
