Abstract

Low-frequency high-voltage ac transmission scheme has recently been proposed as an alternative approach for bulk power transmission. This paper proposes a multi-period optimal power flow (OPF) for a multi-frequency HVac transmission system that interconnects both conventional 50/60-Hz and low-frequency grids using back-to-back converters with a centralized control scheme. The OPF objective is to minimize system losses by determining the optimal dispatch for generators, shunt capacitors, and converters. The OPF constraints include the operational constraints of all HVac grid and converter stations. The resulting mixed-integer nonlinear programing problem is solved using a proposed framework based on the predictor-corrector primal-dual interior-point method. The proposed OPF formulation and solution approach are verified using a multi-frequency HVac transmission system that is modified from the IEEE 57-bus system. Here, the results with the optimal dispatch from the proposed method during a simulated day show a significant loss reduction and an improved voltage regulation compared to those when an arbitrary dispatch is chosen.

Optimal Planning and Operation of Multi-Frequency HVac Transmission Systems

Journal Article Nguyen, Quan; Santoso, Surya - IEEE Transactions on Power Systems

Low-frequency high-voltage alternating-current (LF-HVac) transmission scheme has been recently proposed as an alternative solution to conventional 50/60-Hz HVac and high-voltage direct-current (HVdc) schemes for bulk power transfer. This paper proposes an optimal planning and operation for loss minimization in a multi-frequency HVac transmission system. In such a system, conventional HVac and LF-HVac grids are interconnected using back-to-back (BTB) converters. The dependence of system MW losses on converter dispatch as well as the operating voltage and frequency in the LF-HVac is discussed and compared with that of HVdc transmission. Based on the results of the loss analysis, multi-objective optimization formulations formore »« less

Exact Optimal Power Dispatch in Unbalanced Distribution Systems With High PV Penetration

Journal Article Nguyen, Quan; Padullaparti, Harsha; Lao, Keng-Weng; ... - IEEE Transactions on Power Systems

Smart inverters provide additional control capability to help optimize the operation of distribution systems. This paper proposes a framework for exact optimal active and reactive power dispatch of distributed photovoltaic (PV) generation, switched capacitors, and tap changers in large multi-phase unbalanced distribution systems. The objectives of the optimal dispatch are minimization of the energy loss, PV active power curtailment, and capacitor and tap changer switching operations, in addition to elimination of voltage violations and reverse power flow. The optimization problem is formulated in rectangular coordinates as a nonlinear, nonconvex problem. Effective computational strategies are proposed to allow the application ofmore »« less

Coordinated Optimal Control of PV Inverters and HVAC Loads in Distribution Systems

Conference Pani, Naveen; Bai, Linquan; Xue, Yaosuo; ...

The increasing integration of distributed energy resources (DERs), such as photovoltaics (PVs) and smart buildings into distribution systems complicate power system operation and controls. This paper proposes a coordinated optimal control strategy for PV inverters and Heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) loads in smart buildings to minimize the total network loss in a distribution system. For the HVAC units, we enforce minimum on and off time constraints to avoid frequent switching that can degrade the unit. The proposed control will dispatch optimal control signals of active and reactive power to PV inverters and on/off commands to HVAC units whilemore »« less

Economic Dispatch With Distributed Energy Resources: Co-Optimization of Transmission and Distribution Systems

Journal Article Zhou, Xinyang; Chang, Chin-Yao; Bernstein, Andrey; ... - IEEE Control Systems Letters

The increasing penetration of distributed energy resources (DERs) in the distribution networks has turned the conventionally passive load buses into active buses that can provide grid services for the transmission system. To take advantage of the DERs in the distribution networks, this letter formulates a transmission-and-distribution (T&D) systems co-optimization problem that achieves economic dispatch at the transmission level and optimal voltage regulation at the distribution level by leveraging large generators and DERs. A primal-dual gradient algorithm is proposed to solve this optimization problem jointly for T&D systems, and a distributed market-based equivalent of the gradient algorithm is used for practicalmore »« less
