Multi-Area Monitoring and Transfer Capability Calculations in Restructured Power Systems

该项目关注的是多区域大型电力系统的安全监控和ATC计算问题，其中独立的电网运营商对网络数据和单个区域的测量的访问是有限的。 我们的目标是开发一个通用的计算框架，它可以用于任何多区域系统的应用程序，无论数据库和软件的要求，个别地区的运营商和应用程序本身。所提出的方法的分布式性质的优点是，它将保持有效的系统规模和区域的数量增加更复杂的互联系统。 此外，它使每个领域能够按照自己的速度改进其软件和监测能力，而无需与系统内的其他领域协调这项活动。 该项目侧重于两个应用程序，即状态估计和ATC计算。这些应用程序制定建议的多区域两级计算框架内。除技术影响外，该项目预计将对教育、研究生培训和对代表性不足群体学生的辅导产生更广泛的影响。 该项目将雇用两名研究生，他们将在项目期间攻读研究生学位。 他们将接受技术培训，并通过实验室教学任务，成为他们专业的未来教师。 他们还将参与教材的开发，然后将在本科教学实验室使用。

This project is concerned about the issues of security monitoring and ATC calculations for a multi-area large power system where an independent grid operator has limited access to the network data and measurements of individual areas. The goal is to develop a general computational framework which can be used for any multi-area system application regardless of the data base and software requirements of individual area operators and the applications themselves. The distributed nature of the proposed approach has the advantage that it will remain valid as the system size and the number of areas increase for more complex interconnected systems. Furthermore, it allows each area to improve its software and monitoring capabilities at its own pace without the need to coordinate this activity with the other areas in the system. The project focuses on two applications, namely the state estimation and the ATC calculations. These applications are formulated within the proposed multi-area two level computational framework. In addition to its technical impacts, the project is expected to have broader impacts on education, training of graduate students and mentoring of students from under-represented groups. The project will employ two graduate students who will pursue their graduate degrees during the project. They will be trained both technically and also via laboratory teaching assignments to become future instructors in their specialties. They will also be involved in the development of teaching materials which will then be used in undergraduate teaching laboratory.
