  4. PAS Applications • The PAS subsystem consists of applications that support : • Real‑time and study mode network analysis • Determining the state of a power system network • Level of security, • How the security and economics of the network might be improved. • The PAS applications run automatically using data originating from SCADA • Study applications are run by the operator or planning engineers, to study the effects of changes in the power system. • Study data can be initialized from a real‑time network solution, or from archive files.

  7. State Estimation Real‑Time Network State Estimation ‑ (RTNET) • Performs topology processing • Estimation the network state Includes busload forecast and transmission loss sensitivities calculation

  8. State Estimator Mersy Z = 100 ohms Avon 1 160 300 MW 2 160 400 kV 395 kV  Loads at a bus = 0 Instantaneous SCADA values Bus kV, Line MWs and MVAr limit values exceeded Estimated values based on Kirchoff’s and Ohm’s Laws • Produce valid topology and real time network solutions for all network apps. • More reliable and more accurate than raw SCADA When and how often will the State Estimator run?

  9. State Estimation • Runs on a periodic basis, i.e. • Usually every 5 minutes • Each time a switching device such as a breaker or isolator changes state • What is the output of a State Estimator run ? • What is the output used for?

  10. State Estimation • RTNET produces an Estimated State of the power system based on SCADA measurements using a least squares fit algorithm. • Once RTNET has run to completion the following applications can run: • Power Flow (PWRFLOW) • Optimal Power Flow (OPF) • Contingency Analysis (RTCA) • Dynamic Stability Analysis (VSAT / TSAT) • Voltage VAR Dispatch (VVD) • Short Circuit Analysis (RTSCT) • Security Enhancement Analysis (SENH) • What is the purpose of Study Power Flow?

  11. Power Flow Load Generation Mersy Avon Z = 100 ohms Load Gen 1 150 300 MW 300 MW 2 0 150 400 kV 395 kV 300 • Allows control staff and planners to study the steady-state operation of the power network under hypothetical and postulated conditions • Study how the power flows through the network before taking lines out for maintenance and what - if future scenarios

  12. Power Flow Gen Mvar Gen MW Load Mvar Load MW MW Error Solved System Generation Iterations Load MVAr MVAr Fixed Instantaneous System Load Load MW The solution is a MWs and Mvar balance of Load against Generation. • How do control staff make changes Study Power Flow? • How are the results of the study seen?

  13. Changes to the network topology can be made by changing the status of circuit breakers on one-line diagrams or tabular displays. • Results of Power Flow analysis can be displayed either on one-line diagrams or in tabular form. What PAS tool makes recommendations on how to optimise the grid?

  14. Optimal Power Flow Optimal Power flow ‑ • The primary purpose of optimal power is to provide control staff with network configuration recommendations that will eliminate or reduce violations and/or move the network to a more economical operating state. • The primary function of OPF is to determine and present optimal, feasible device settings. • These settings are calculated based on the network model, control model, objective function model, and operating limits. • The presented control settings should correct (or, if not possible, reduce) any violations of operating limits and optimize the objective function while maintaining feasibility.

Contingency Analysis Mersy 140 MW Rabbit 150 MW Avon Load 2 Load 1 Gen 1 250 160 MW 450 MW Load 3 2 200 300 MW 400 kV 397 kV 395 kV Illovo 400 kV Line Outages Avon – Mersy1 Mustrun Avon – Mersy Mustrun Mersy_Rabbit Mustrun Avon_Illov Mustrun Illovo_ Mersy Mustrun 400 kV Load Outages Mersy Load 1 Mustrun Rabbit Load 2 Mustrun Rabbit Load 3 Mustrun Contingency Analysis ‑ • Assesses the impact of potential changes in the network, such as equipment outages, on the state of the power system. • The application runs in the real time and study environments.

  16. Outage Scheduler • Outage Scheduler – • The Outage Scheduler provides the capability to schedule equipment outages or derations. • The outage schedules are used by the study applications to study system conditions at a particular time, taking into account the necessary topological or rating changes.

  17. Security Enhancement • Security Enhancement ‑ • A set of optimization algorithms that recommend operator actions for moving the system to the most secure and efficient operating point given the specified constraints. It includes Constrained Dispatch, Contingency Planning, and Preventive Action. • The application runs in the real‑time and study environments.

  18. Voltage‑Var Dispatch Voltage‑Var Dispatch – • Runs as part of the real‑time sequence. • Recommends reactive/voltage control changes to minimize MW losses, or to correct voltage violations.

  19. Voltage‑Var Dispatch • Voltage-Var Dispatch (VVD) is a real-time version of the study Optimal Power Flow application. • It runs as part of the real-time network sequence, uses only reactive power and voltage controls, and is initialized from the results of the state estimator. • If the state estimator found voltage violations, VVD will attempt to correct the violations with minimal reactive power control changes. • If no voltage violations were found, then VVD will attempt to minimize MW losses using reactive power controls. • Resulting control change recommendations are presented to the dispatcher as advisory recommendations.

  20. Short Circuit Analysis • Short Circuit Analysis – • Calculates short circuit currents that result from specified faults. • The Short Circuit analysis program requires a set of fault definitions in the FAULTS database before execution can begin.

  21. Study Network Sequence Study Network Sequence ‑ • The Study Network Sequence is an integrated environment for in-depth studies. • It includes Economic Dispatch, Power Flow, Optimal Power Flow, and Contingency Analysis functions that can run in sequence. • The Study Network Sequence is initialized either from the real-time system, from other study mode functions, or from archive.

  22. Online Dynamic Security • VSAT • Voltage Security Assessment Tool • TSAT • Transient Stability Assessment Tool

  23. VSAT Purpose • VSAT is a tool to assess power system voltage stability • It allows the user to specify multiple scenarios on the network to analyze • Inputs are power flow data, contingency definitions, security limits, transfer definitions. • The outputs are MW transfer limits, critical contingencies, PV curves

  24. VSAT Features • Part of an automatic run sequence to cater for changing loads • High speed analysis on a dedicated server • Event driven such as change of system state (equipment failure, generator redispatch) • Manual such as on instruction from an operator • Transfer limit or base-case security analysis using the following criteria: • Voltage stability margin • Voltage decline • Reactive power reserves • Thermal overloads

  25. TSAT Purpose • TSAT is a tool to assess power system transient stability • It allows full time-domain simulations of large, complex power systems • Inputs • Powerflow data • Contingency definitions • Transfer definitions • Security criteria • Analysis and solution options • Outputs • Transient stability index • Damping Index • Voltage duration index • Frequency duration index • Relay margin index

  26. TSAT Features • Quick screening of contingencies, in order to minimize number of contingencies to be analyzed in detail • Security analysis using the following criteria: • Transient stability • Damping • Transient voltage • Transient frequency • Relay margins

  27. VSAT and TSAT Uses • Helping the operator in deciding whether or not to run a power station in Emergency Level 1 due to its impact on the transfer limit • Deciding on the next worst contingency that could lead to a voltage collapse during an outage and the amount of load that must be shed to mitigate this after implementation of all remedial measures. • Determining safe generation limits due to an outage of a line at a power station

  28. State Estimator Problem On Load – caring MWs and Mvars Off Load – caring Mars only • Problem: • Due to the way in which the topology model is evaluated, the line was seen to be in service • It was carrying Mvars only and thus deemed to be in service even though the breaker was open. • Lesson – add logic that can differentiate between open lines and Mvar only states
