A novel sensitive based approach to ATC enhancement in wind power integrated transmission system

Abstract

Abstract Available transfer capability (ATC) plays an important role for both buyers and suppliers in the deregulated power system. As the integration of renewable energy sources is taking place very quickly in the system. It is not suggested to place wind generation (WG) at any point of the system. In this paper, the optimal location of buses for WG using a novel sensitive based formula is proposed. The zones are formed using the transmission congestion distribution factor (TCDF) values. The average transmission congestion distribution factor (ATCDF) is used to locate the optimal point of the system. When the WG is integrated into the system its obvious ATC increases but at which point the ATC values will be more is considered as the main objective. The WG is placed at every bus in the zone created by the TCDF value and the ATC value is calculated. The test is performed on the IEEE-30 bus system in MATLAB coding environment. The comparison result shows the ATC value enhances more when the WG is placed according to the proposed method. The proposed method also helps to find multiple locations for WG installation according to ATCDF value. Highlights Average TCDF value is proposed to find the optimal bus location for getting more ATC value. Integration of WG according to highest ATCDF value in the system. Comparison of ATC obtain from the integration of WG at different buses in sensitive zones. Validation of a proposed method by comparing the ATC value obtain from integrating WG at different buses. The optimal bus location based on the ATCDF value gave enhance ATC value compare to the other bus location. ATCDF value helps in finding the multiple locations for integration of WG in the system.
