Yy. Hong et al., APPLICATION OF NEWTON OPTIMAL POWER-FLOW TO ASSESSMENT OF VAR CONTROLSEQUENCES ON VOLTAGE SECURITY - CASE-STUDIES FOR A PRACTICAL POWER-SYSTEM, IEE proceedings. Part C. Generation, transmission and distribution, 140(6), 1993, pp. 539-544
The application of the Newton optimal power flow (OPF) approach to the
assessment of VAR controllers on voltage security in the Taiwan Power
Company (TPC) is presented in the paper. Important functions in the d
eveloped OPF package were achieved to satisfy dispatching requirements
. Cases were studied through use of these functions for the purpose of
assessing the effect of the various types of VAR controller while con
sidering control sequences. The weakness of traditional OPF packages i
s pinpointed in that they only obtain an equilibrium solution without
the consideration of a proper control sequence. Several significant co
mments are suggested, on the basis of these results, to set up useful
criteria for the security dispatch. A practical 251-busbar system (Tai
power) is used to illustrate the test results.
