Fast Thermal Generation Rescheduling, F. Eugenio Villaseca, B. Fardanesh
Fast Thermal Generation Rescheduling, F. Eugenio Villaseca, B. Fardanesh
F. Eugenio Villaseca
A new dynamic programming algorithm for fast rescheduling thermal generation is presented. The savings in computational times are brought about by the introduction of two new techniques: the variable truncation dynamic programming and the limitation of the solution space to be searched. Several examples on a 20 machine system are used to illustrate the application of the algorithm and to show that optimal solutions are obtained at significantly reduced computational times.

Dynamic Companion Harmonic Circuit Models For Analysis Of Power Systems With Embedded Power Electronics Devices, H. Garcia, M. Madrigal, B. Vyakaranam, Rick Rarick, F. Eugenio Villaseca
F. Eugenio Villaseca
In this paper a methodology that extends the dynamic harmonic domain (DHD) analysis of large networks is presented. The method combines DHD analysis and discrete companion circuit modeling resulting in a powerful analytic technique called dynamic companion harmonic circuit modeling. It provides for a complete dynamic harmonic analysis of the system while preserving the advantages of discrete companion circuit models. The methodology is illustrated by its application to a three-node power system, where reactive power compensation is achieved using a fixed-capacitor, thyristor-controlled reactor (FC-TCR) and its control system.
Storage And Delivery Constrained Unit Commitment, Y. Al-Kalaani, F. Eugenio Villaseca, F Renovich Jr
Storage And Delivery Constrained Unit Commitment, Y. Al-Kalaani, F. Eugenio Villaseca, F Renovich Jr
F. Eugenio Villaseca
A general formulation and the development of a dynamic programming algorithm to solve a fuel-constrained unit commitment problem is presented. The system under consideration has oil units with storage constraints, gas units with delivery constraints, and unconstrained coal units. An optimal approach to transfer the fuel delivery constraints into unit capacity limits using a closed-form dual dispatch is introduced. As a result, the gas units can be viewed as fuel-unconstrained, thus greatly reducing complexity. It is shown that the optimization problem, which requires that storage levels be parameterized, leads to two different dispatch rules. The oil units are dispatched to …

Transient Stability Hierarchical Control In Multimachine Power Systems, A Rubbai, F. Eugenio Villaseca
F. Eugenio Villaseca
The authors present the optimal transient stability control problem in a hierarchical structure for multimachine power systems. The two-level structure retains the local closed-loop controls, thereby easing its implementation on existing systems. The formulation accounts for nonlinearities and interconnections, and the optimization of the system transient performance is obtained with less computational effort. Since the computations are distributed among the many local feedback subsystems, the storage and solution times are considerably less than those required by a single overall centralized controller. This advantage becomes much stronger as the system size increases. For illustration purposes, this technique was applied successfully to …
Two-Step Optimal Thermal Generation Scheduling, B Fardanesh, F. Eugenio Villaseca
Two-Step Optimal Thermal Generation Scheduling, B Fardanesh, F. Eugenio Villaseca
F. Eugenio Villaseca
A new approach to the solution of the optimal thermal generation scheduling problem is presented. The problem is solved in two steps. As a first step, the optimal production schedule for the next day is obtained based on a daily load forecast, reserve capacity requirements, and present status of generating units. The second-step algorithm uses the results of the first step and adjusts the previous schedule to meet new constraints developed during the course of the day. Variable truncation dynamic programming is proposed as a new method to reduce computation effort. To eliminate the need for solving the entire problem …

F. Eugenio Villaseca
A standard set of power system data with benchmark results are presented against which direct stability techniques to assess transient stability can be compared and tested. The test systems have been selected to display a wide range of dynamic characteristics to provide a robust test of the efficacy and accuracy of the various analytical techniques to analyze transient stability. Transient stability test system data and benchmark results obtained from two commercially available time-domain stability analysis packages are presented
