Abstract
Available transfer capability (ATC) is an index showing the measure of transfer capability remaining in the physical transmission network over and above already existing transactions. To determine ATC between two areas in a multi-area power system, different parameters such as total transfer capability (TTC), transmission reliability margin (TRM), and capacity benefit margin (CBM) should be calculated. CBM ensures security of system operation when the system faces generation deficiency in some areas. The presence of wind turbine generators (WTGs) in multi-area power systems creates new challenges in CBM calculation process. In this chapter, three different methods are proposed for CBM evaluation considering WTG which reflect different objectives. In the proposed methods, CBM determination is formulated as an optimization problem and Particle Swarm Optimization method is used to solve the problem. The numerical results for modified IEEE reliability test system are presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approaches.
