Limitations and Interactions of Bulk Power Transfers in Large Scale Electric Powers Systems

9815678本项目是作为NSF研究中心-小公司合作研发计划的一部分，在康奈尔大学/加州大学伯克利分校/加州大学厄巴纳分校/威斯康星大学麦迪逊分校电力系统工程中心的领导下进行的，该中心是由美国国家科学基金会建立的IUCRC。本项目的动机是，北美竞争激烈的电力市场所带来的许多优势取决于开放的输电网，能够灵活地响应长距离大容量电力传输的需求。 事实上，这种电力传输对于竞争性电力市场至关重要。 电力系统可用传输能力是指在不影响系统安全的前提下，区域间电力传输能力可以增加多少。 准确识别这种能力为大容量电力市场的运行提供了重要信息。 在这一迅速发展的领域中，有必要对现有转让能力计算所依据的各种方法进行综合，并将其传达给工业界。 该项目将通过编写一个关于所开发的方法及其与以前工作的关系的教程来满足这一需要。 将开发演示软件来说明概念和计算。 教程和演示软件将被放置在万维网上，以便任何人都可以通过浏览器了解项目结果，并通过网络交互式地运行演示。 这是一个合作项目之间的威斯康星州，康奈尔大学和克里斯滕森协会，一个小公司位于麦迪逊，威斯康星大学。

9815678ThomasThis project is carried out as a part of the NSF Research Centers - Small Firms Collaborative R&D initiative, under the leadership of the Cornell/UC-Berkeley/UI-Urbana/UW-Madison Center for Power Systems Engineering, an IUCRC established by the National Science Foundation.This project is motivated by the fact that many of the advantages expected to accrue from a competitive electric power market in North America depend upon an open transmission grid, capable of a flexible response to demands for long distance bulk power transfers. Indeed, such power transfers are essential to a competitive market for electric power. Power system available transfer capability indicates how much interarea power transfers can be increased without compromising system security. Accurate identification of this capability provides vital information for operation of the bulk power market. There is a need in this rapidly developing field to synthesize a coherent account of the various approaches to the methods underlying available transfer capability calculations and communicate this to industry. The project will address this need by writing a tutorial on the methods developed and their relation to previous work. Demonstration software to illustrate the concepts and calculations will be developed. The tutorial and demonstration software will be placed on the world wide web so that anyone with a browser can understand the project results and interactively run the demonstrations over the web. This is a collaborative project between the University of Wisconsin, Cornell University and Christensen Associates, a small firm located in Madison, WI.
