Under new de-regulated environment an open access to transmission system seems to be desired. Determination and enhancement of available transfer capability (ATC) are important issues in deregulated operation of power systems. This paper focuses on the best location and optimal allocation of FACTS devices to improve maximum available transfer capacity (ATC). ATC is computed using repeated power...

A methodology for available (simultaneous) transfer capability (ATC) analysis based on a probabilistic approach is presented. It is postulated that the system is operated by an ISO. The traditional concept of “area” is extended to include a utility, an individual IPP, a large customer, etc. All areas are divided into three groups: (a) study area or area under the ISO control, (b) transfer parti...

Till now, many transfer capability techniques are performed in a simplified manner, with limited consideration of security constraints. This is unacceptable as the risks for not evaluating security impacts are high. There have been doubts on whether current techniques could provide secure transfer capability assessment and thus introducing a new challenge. This paper presents an optimal power f...

development of technological capability is one of the effective methods for promoting the firm competitive performance. transfer of suitable technology help the firm to make a strong position in its industry faster than using in-house r&d.; successfulness of a firm based on technology transfer process can be measured with different scales such as measurement of firm competitive performance thro...

With the further development of power markets, large amount of electric power wheeling and frequent transmission transaction is emerging, accurately determining Available Transmission Capability (ATC) and broadcasting the ATC information in time are very important to prevent and relieve transmission congestion effectively. In practical power markets, there are large amount of uncertainties invo...

We review some new solution capabilities developed and available in the ADINA-F CFD (computational fluid dynamics) program and present example solutions. Unique features and advances are that incompressible and compressible flows with structural interactions can be analyzed and that a general radiation heat transfer analysis capability based on specular and diffusive reflectivities and transmit...

Improving ATC is important in the current deregulated environment of power systems. In this paper, ATC is computed using Continuous Power Flow (CPF) method considering line thermal limit and bus voltage limits. Flexible Alternating Current Transmission system (FACTS) can control magnitude of voltage, phase angle and circuit reactance and the load flow may be re-distributed to regulate bus volta...
