Multi-Period Optimal Transmission Switching with Voltage Stability and Security Constraints by the Minimum Number of Actions

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: Due to the ever-growing load demand and the deregulation of the electricity market, power systems often run near the stability boundaries, which deteriorates system voltage stability and raises voltage issues for the stable operations of power systems. Transmission switching (TS) has been applied to improve economic benefits and security operations for many applications. In this paper, a multi-period voltage stability-constrained problem (MP-VSTS) is established, intending to improve voltage security and the stability of a power system. Considering the online application of transmission switching, the minimum number of switching actions is taken as the objective function of the proposed MP-VSTS problem, which extends the TS application for real industries. The proposed model provides the switching lines for the upcoming period and the state of power systems for several successive periods. To overcome the solving difficulties of the proposed model, a two-stage approach is presented, which balances speed and accuracy. Numerical studies on the IEEE 118- and 662-bus power systems have demonstrated the proposed approach’s performance.
