Load Flow Modelling ServiceProject results 30 September 2002 Mick Barlow Srdjan Curcic
Content • Project objectives • Modelling assumptions • Some potential issues with the proposed approaches to allocation of losses • Illustration of the key results
Project objectives • Power Technologies Int. has been commissioned to assist the assessment procedure of modification proposals P75 and P82, specifically: • to perform calculations of TLFs & TLMs for a specified number of SPs for P75 & P82 • to present the results in a form suitable for the assessment procedure; and • to draw attention to potential issues with the fundamentals of the two marginal approaches proposed (P75 & P82) • This presentation contains an appropriate selection of the project results
Modelling assumptions • MW injections are calculated from the metered volumes assuming they are constant (average) • Power factors published in NGC’s SYS are used to calculate reactive power injections • It is assumed that “offtake” metered volumes/injections are accurate and then the “delivery” volumes/injections are calculated to balance “offtake” metered volumes/injections and calculated variable active power system losses, while maintaining relative “deliveries” among the generators (DICTATED BY DATA QUALITY)
Modelling assumptions • Load flow assumptions: • Generation P is calculated as described above • Generation Q is calculated automatically by setting voltage target to 1.03 p.u. • Load P is calculated from the metered volumes • Load Q is calculated from typical power factors given in the NGC’s SYS • Transformer tap changer are set according to information in the NGC’s SYS for each voltage level • Transformer target voltage is set to produce reasonable voltage profile (between 0.97 and 1.03 p.u.) • SVC’s target voltage is set to values recommended in the NGC’s SYS
Modelling assumptions • AC load flow calculations are using the standard NGC’s slack at Cowley • PTI’s PSS/E-OPF is used for calculating marginal TLFs • Out of TLFs obtained for active power injections and reactive power injections, unique TLFs are calculated that relate only to active power injections, while providing for the total losses incurred from a node TLFij = (TLFPij Pij + TLFQij Qij) / Pij
Modelling assumptions • On the basis of information in the NGC’s SYS, the fixed losses are assumed to be 200MW (peak), 180MW (trough) and 190MW (other periods – Autumn) • For the purpose of calculating TLMs, these fixed losses are smeared across generators, proportionally to their power output
Issues with proposed allocation of losses Slack node – An issue with the marginal TLFs approach: • The choice of the slack node potentially matters more that initially expected :
Issues with proposed allocation of losses Slack node Network & metered volumes are for 22 January 2002 Comparison is between slack node at Cowley and at Thorpe Marsh Illustrative example: Assume a generation metered volume of 1000MWh and a TLM of 0.94. That would attribute 60MWh of losses to this generation. Due to the indicated change in slack node this 60MWh of losses would change for 9.23%, on average.
Issues with proposed allocation of losses • The sensitivity analysis to introduction/variation of power factors has been done in an simple exercise: For 02 January 2002 network and metered volumes two cases were calculated: • P.F. = 1 for all demand nodes • P.F. by NGC’s SYS Power factor
Issues with proposed allocation of losses Power factor • At the level of TLFs the effect was much more tangible. This indicates: • that reactive powers should not be ignored; and • a possible need for further consideration
Summary: Issues with proposed allocation of losses • There are some issues arising from the modelling • TLFMG, nevertheless, have confidence in the modelling results

P75 (T1) - Summary • Introduction of Modification Proposal P75 would result in variable TLMs: • over time; and • across country with an overall, indicative variation between 0.95 and 1.06 for demand and between 0.94 and 1.09 for generation

P75: TNUoS (gen) zone TLMs over a day - Generation 10 October 2001 South North
P75 (T2) - Summary • Introduction of Modification Proposal P75 would result in daily variation in TLMs of up to approximately 0.03 for demand and 0.045 for generation (the exception is TNUoS zone 5 with reversible hydro plants where the variation is up to 0.065) on a typical autumn working day
