Calculate Redispatch Background
Introduction • A generator’s impact on a flowgate is measured by its Power Transfer Distribution Factor or PTDF. • PTDF is also known as Path Utilization Factor (PUF) and Transmission Loading Relief (TLR).
Introduction cont. • The PTDF is the ratio impact to the loading on a specific flowgate based on an increase (INC) at the generator and a like decrease (DEC) at a reference bus (Grand Coulee for our studies). • A positive PTDF will increase the loading. • A negative PTDF will decrease the loading and provide relief.
Flowgates and PTDFs/PUFs Reference Bus PUFs are zero Flowgates
Redispatch • To relieve the loading on the path, we find the pairs of generators that will provide relief. • We look for combinations of INC generator and DEC generators with a combined PTDF that is negative. • The combined PTDF is the INC PTDF – DEC PTDF. • Numbers closer to -1.0 are more effective. + -
Single Redispatch Pair JDA-CNT Redispatch: 35 MW Impact: 35*-0.508= -17.8 MW
Redispatch Solution • To get more relief, redispatch more pairs of generators. • Since a single generator could be involved in multiple pairs, the amounts are summed and each generator is called once.
