Optimal power flow considering line-conductor temperature limits under high penetration of intermittent renewable energy sources

Applying Point Estimation and Monte Carlo Simulation Methods in Solving Probabilistic Optimal Power Flow Considering Renewable Energy Uncertainties

The increasing penetration of renewable energy results in changing the traditional power system planning and operation tools. As the generated power by the renewable energy resources are probabilistically changed, the certain power system analysis tolls cannot be applied in this case.  Probabilistic optimal power flow is one of the most useful tools regarding the power system analysis in presen...

Non-renewable and intermittent renewable energy sources: friends and foes?

Stability Enhancement of a Power System Containing High-Penetration Intermittent Renewable Generation

This paper considers the transient stability enhancement of a power system containing large amounts of solar and wind generation in Japan. Following the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster there has been an increasing awareness on the importance of a distributed architecture, based mainly on renewable generation, for the Japanese power system. Also, the targets of CO2 emissions can now be approa...

Decentralised conic optimisation of reactive power considering uncertainty of renewable energy sources

This study proposes a decentralised reactive power optimisation of capacitors in distribution system with uncertain renewable energy sources (RES). The optimisation problem is modelled as minimising the active power loss and installed capacitors costs, subject to power flow constraints and other operation conditions. In view of the non-linear power flow equality constraints with uncertain power...
