Impact assessment of ATC variation under normal as well as contingency condition for wind power generation

Abstract

A copetitive electricity market ensures that there is sufficient energy and that the system functions effectively, despite the fact that system congestion is one of the most significant problems. A method for calculating the ATC for Contingency Management is demonstrated in the current work. ATC assists in locating the most efficient line within the system so that additional power can be transmitted from that line. It is necessary for system operators to be aware of available transfer capability (ATC) in order to ensure that the electricity market is both equitable and transparent. There are a great number of different approaches that can be taken in order to determine the ATC value in the power system and improve it. Therefore, in order to increase the ATC value, it is necessary to find a way to incorporate renewable energy into the system. This is because the world is currently concentrating on green energy technologies. When it comes to integrating wind power in order to increase the ATC value, a significant amount of research has been done on how to use active power support. The reactive power is of utmost significance when there is a significant amount of load. The active and reactive power of wind turbines were taken into consideration for the purpose of the ATC calculation that was presented in this paper. For the purpose of determining the reactive power limit, the capability curve of the wind turbine generator was utilised. For the purpose of determining the amount of power that can be generated by the wind, data on wind speed are collected in real time. The impact that the generation of wind power has on the changes that occur in ATC in both normal and emergency circumstances has been investigated. For the purpose of determining how well the proposed method functions, it is tested on the IEEE-30 bus system.
