Congestion and redispatch
Example
• Each line has capacity of 900 MW

• The right generator is cheaper than the left, both have capacity 1500 MW
P = 1000 MW
P = 1000 MW

P = 843 MW
P = 666 MW
P = 800 MW
G A
B
P = 1200 MW
G B
P = 200 MW
Load = 500 MW
P = 900 MW
P = 500 MW

Load = 1500 MW
Load = 1500 MW

If the load of gen B would increase, the profit
would rise, but the line is congested

Power flow
Three types of nodes
• Voltage controlled nodes (P-U node)



Nodes connected to a generator
Voltage is controlled at a fixed value
Active power delivered at a known
value
• Unregulated voltage node (P-Q node)
 A certain P and Q is demanded or
delivered (non dispatched power
plants, e.g. CHP)
 In practice: mostly nodes
representing a pure `load'
• Slack or swing bus (U- node)
 Variable P and Q
 Node that takes up mismatches

Linear convergence
• Decoupled Newton-Raphson



Strong coupling between Q and V, and between P and 
Weak coupling between P and V, and between Q and 

Sometimes used as first value for Newton-Raphson iteration (starting
value)
Economic studies and contingency analysis also use DC load flow

Control problem
Requirements
• Voltage must remain between its limits

1 p.u. +/- 5 or 10 %
• Power flow through a line is limited


Produced power(t) == consumed power(t)+grid losses
Produced power is +/- constant with constant “steam” values
Consumed power is a function of the grid frequency (motors)

Frequency control
Different control actions
• 4 Phases

Primary control
o

Secondary control
o

centralised automatic function to regulate the generation in a control area based on
secondary control reserves in order to
• maintain its interchange power flow at the control program with all other control
areas
• restore the frequency in case of a frequency deviation originating from the control
area to its set value in order to free the capacity engaged by the primary control. (15
min)
Tertiary control
o

maintains the balance between generation and demand in the network using turbine
speed governors. (tens of seconds)
any (automatic or) manual change in the working points of generators (mainly by rescheduling), in order to restore an adequate secondary control reserve at the right
time. (after 15 min)
Time control
o
integral control of the system time regarding UTC time, days
• Internationally controlled (UCTE, Nordel, en anderen)

•
•
fluctuations
Primary control uses spinning reserves
Each control area within the synchronous area (UCTE)
has to maintain a certain reserve, so that the absolute
frequency shift in case of a 3 GW power deviation
remains below 200 mHz

3 GW are two of the largest units within UCTE

Secondary control
Definition/principle
• System frequency is brought back to the scheduled value
• Balance between generation and consumption within each
area
Primary control is not impaired
Centralized `automatic generation control' adjusts set points

• Power sources are called secondary reserves


Synchronous compensator: expensive
Capacitors: not accurate enough
SVC/STATCom: possible, but not cheap
U is `OK' between 0,95 and 1,05 p.u.
Reactive power is less price (fuel) dependent (some
losses)
