Two critical issues have arisen in transmission expansion planning with the rapid growth of wind power generation. First, severe power ramping events in daily operation due to the high variability of wind power generation pose great challenges to multi-year planning decision making. Second, the long construction periods of transmission lines may not be able to keep pace with the fast growing uncertainty...
The U.S federal government's strategic vision encouraging renewable energy production has motivated several new energy generation projects. Among them are large-scale renewable energy farm building efforts, where one considers the renewable resource potential along with land, equipment, and installation costs. The goal in the planning phase of these efforts is to maximize the return on investment...
Summary form only given. Power system planning and operation is designed to ensure sufficient reserve margins and the ability to adequately withstand sudden events or contingencies such as outages of transmission lines, transformers and generators. Approaches to address the planning aspects have been discussed under the topic of Resource Adequacy and continue to evolve. Approaches to address operational...
Wind power generation in the US is surging at an unprecedented pace, primarily due to an abundance of wind resource and a favorable political environment. Consequently transmission providers are inundated with requests for interconnection of proposed windfarms. Windfarms are typically located remote from the load centers thereby requiring massive transmission lines to transport this power. The sheer...
Transmission planning demands a great effort from system planners to analyze all possible future conditions that can be expected in the operation of a power system in the midterm horizon, usually 10 years in advance. Identification of network elements changes which will be required to maintain system operation within planning criteria, is a periodical task that has to be constantly performed to reflect...
