Abstract

This paper deals with security constraied optimal power flow (SCOPF) in which FACTS devices are employed to meet system constraints under both normal and contingency states. The considered constraints are power generation limit, voltage limit, transmision limit and FACTS devices operation limit. In normal state, the objective function is to minimize operation cost while satisfying system constraints. If contingency occurs, FACTS devices are optimally controlled to eliminate violation of generator ramp rate as well as to meet system constraints. The iterative process is applied to ensure that there will be no generator ramp rate violation. Initially, normal state is simulated to obtain optimal power dispatch as a basecase. Using this basecase, contingency state is simulated in order to minimize generation ramp rate violation. If ramp rate violation is failed to be eliminated, the violation will be fed back to normal state as a …
