FAST TEXTURED ALGORITHMS FOR OPTIMAL POWER DELIVERY PROBLEMS IN DEREGULATED ENVIRONMENTS

For the future deregulated (open access) environments: we need to find the best way to deliver the electric power to buyers after the genera tion settings are determined by sellers' own economic strategies. In t he paper, we will formulate such a problem as an Optimal Power Deliver y (OPD) problem in terms of transmitted line flows and parameters of F ACTS (Flexible AC Transmission Systems) devices, such as phase shifter s and series compensators. The total transmission losses will be taken into account and represented by the transmitted line flows across tho se lines. Unwanted loop flow can be reduced or eliminated by FACTS dev ices and can be achieved by minimizing the total transmission loss. Th e OPD problem is then solved by two fast textured algorithms for modif ied IEEE 14-bus and 57-bus systems.
