Orientador: Marcos Julio Rider Flores / Resumo: Os problemas de planejamento da expansão de sistemas de transmissão e de fluxo de potência ótimo são de grande importância na área de sistemas de transmissão de energia elétrica. O primeiro consiste em determinar a expansão ótima do sistema, que deve ocorrer com o menor gasto monetário possível. No problema fluxo de potência ótimo deve-se encontrar o estado de operação do sistema de forma a minimizar um objetivo, no caso, os custos de geração. Ambos problemas possuem modelos de programação não-linear inteira mista. Além disto, o resultado ótimo de ambos deve cumprir com restrições operacionais, como o limite de tensão nas barras, os limites de fluxos nos ramos e os limites dos geradores. Para resolver os problemas citados, neste trabalho são apresentados modelos matemáticos de programação linear inteiro misto, aproximados, baseados em um modelo linearizado de fluxo de carga AC, que considera a presença da potência reativa, das perdas no sistema e magnitudes de tensões nas barras diferentes do valor nominal. Todos os modelos foram escritos na linguagem de modelagem matemática AMPL e resolvidos com o solver comercial CPLEX. Os modelos propostos foram testados com os sistemas IEEE de 14, 30, 57, 118 e 300 barras e com o sistema Garver para o planejamento da expansão de sistemas de transmissão. Os resultados foram comparados utilizando-se um fluxo de carga não linear, para verificar-se a precisão dos modelos propostos. / Abstract: The transmission network expansion planning and the optimal power flow problems are of great importance in the field of electricity transmission systems. The first consists in determining the optimal expansion of the system, which must be done with the least possible investment. In the optimal power flow problem it must found the operating status of the system in order to minimize an objective, in this case, generation costs. Both problems have mixed-integer nonlinear programming models. In addition, the optimal solution of both must comply with operating constraints, such as the voltage limit on buses, the limits flows in branches and the limits of the generators. To solve the problems cited, in this work are presented approximate mixed integer linear programming models based on a linearized AC load flow model, which considers the presence of reactive power, the losses in the system and of nominal bus voltage magnitudes. All models were written in mathematical modeling language AMPL and solved with the commercial solver CPLEX. The proposed models were tested with the IEEE systems of 14, 30, 57, 118 and 300 buses and with the Garver system for transmission network expansion planning. Results were compared using a nonlinear load flow model, to verify the accuracy of the proposed models. / Mestre

The definition of these maximum values is obtained from an optimization study, in which further losses should not exceed those of the base case, i.e., without the presence of distributed generation. The restrictions on the loading of the branches and voltages of the system are respected. To face the problem it is proposed an algorithm, which is based on the numerical method called particle swarm optimization, applied to the study of AC conventional load flow and optimal load flow for maximizing the penetration of distributed generation. Alternatively, the Newton-Raphson method was incorporated to resolution of the load flow. The computer program is performed with the SCILAB software. The proposed algorithm is tested with the data from the IEEE network with 14 nodes and from another network, this one from the Rio Grande do Norte State, at a high voltage (69 kV), with 25 nodes. The algorithm defines allowed values of nominal active power of distributed generation, in percentage terms relative to the demand of the network, from reference values / Neste trabalho, prop?e-se uma metodologia para defini??o dos valores m?ximos de pot?ncia ativa a serem injetados em barras pr?-definidas das redes de distribui??o estudadas, considerando a possibilidade de m?ltiplos acessos de unidades geradoras. A defini??o desses valores m?ximos se obt?m a partir de um estudo de otimiza??o, no qual as novas perdas n?o superam as do caso base, ou seja, sem a presen?a da gera??o distribu?da. No estudo atendem-se as restri??es de carregamentos nos ramos e tens?es do sistema. Para tratar o problema, prop?e-se um algoritmo baseado no m?todo num?rico de otimiza??o nuvem de part?culas, ou particle swarm optimization PSO, aplicado ao estudo de fluxo de carga convencional CA e ao fluxo de carga ?timo para maximiza??o da penetra??o da gera??o distribu?da.

Testa-se o algoritmo proposto com os dados da rede IEEE-14 barras e de uma rede de distribui??o em alta tens?o (69 kV) do Estado do Rio Grande do Norte, com 25 barras. O algoritmo determina valores permitidos de pot?ncia ativa nominal de gera??o distribu?da, em termos percentuais relativos ? demanda da rede, a partir de valores de refer?ncia

Este trabalho descreve uma abordagem do método primal-dual barreira logarítmica (MPDBL) associado ao método de Newton modificado para a resolução do problema de fluxo de potência para sistemas de distribuição radial. Também foi realizado um estudo comparativo com duas técnicas clássicas de solução do problema de fluxo potência para redes de distribuição radial. São os métodos: Backward/Forward Sweep e o método proposto por M. Baran e F. Wu, que é baseado na técnica de Newton-Raphson. Este método utiliza uma matriz Jacobiana modificada que atende a característica radial dos sistemas de distribuição. Nos testes comparativos serão considerados todos os parâmetros do sistema. Os algoritmos de solução serão analisados em suas propriedades de convergência e será realizado um teste de robustez. Os resultados dos testes realizados em 4 sistemas (4, 10, 34 e 70 barras) e o teste comparativo entre os métodos evidenciam a melhor metodologia na solução do problema de fluxo de potência para sistemas radiais / This work describes an approach on primal-dual logarithmic barrier method (PDLBM) associate to the method of Newton modified for the resolution of the problem of power flow for radial distribution systems. Also a comparative study with two classic techniques of solution of the flow problem was carried through power for nets of radial distribution. They are the methods: Backward/Forward Sweep and the method considered for M. Baran and F. Wu, that is based on the technique of Newton-Raphson. This method uses modified Jacobiana matrix that takes care of the radial characteristic of the distribution systems. In the comparative tests all will be considered the parameters of the system. The solution algorithms will be analyzed in its properties of convergence and will be carried through a robustness test. The results of the tests carried through in 4 systems (4, 10, 34 and 70 bus) and the comparative test between the methods evidence the best methodology in the solution of the problem of power flow for radial systems

Sabe-se que o MDR apresenta desempenho insatisfatório quando aplicado a redes de distribuição, devido à desfavorável relação r/x dos ramos, resultando num processo de cálculo que pode apresentar divergência ou convergência lenta (grande número de iterações). Há algum tempo foi proposta uma alteração no MDR, chamada de rotação de eixos[4], que melhora as características de convergência do método. A idéia consiste em obter uma rede fictícia para a qual o MDR funcione bem e cujo estado de operação (magnitudes e ângulos de tensão) seja o mesmo da rede original. O valor do ângulo de rotação de eixos, único para toda a rede, é determinado empiricamente. Recentemente uma outra proposta de rotação ótima de eixos[5] foi apresentada, sugerindo modificações ao método que trouxeram maior automação aos cálculos, apesar de efeitos desfavoráveis em relação à manipulação de matrizes e ao significado físico da rede elétrica durante o processo iterativo. O presente trabalho traz um novo algoritmo de rotação de eixos que supera algumas desvantagens dos métodos apresentados em [4, 5], com bom desempenho. Além disso, traz uma interessante contribuição sobre a rotação de barras do tipo PV, não abordado anteriormente / Abstract: The fast decoupled loadflow (FDLF) [2] is a variant of the traditional Newton method [1] for solving the loadflow problem (find the operational state of electrical power networks). It is well-known that FDLF presents unsatisfactory performance when applied to distribution systems. Their unfavourable r/x branch ratios may lead to divergence or slow convergence (large number of iterations). A modification to the FDLF, called axesrotation[4], was proposed some time ago, which improves convergency of the method. The idea is to obtain a fictitious network for which the FDLF performs better and which operational state (voltage magnitudes and angles) is the same as the original network. However, the rotation angle is determined empirically. Recently the optimal axes rotation[5] was presented, suggesting some modifications that led to more automated calculations, despite of some undesirable effects on matrices handling and also to the physical meaning of networks during the iterative process. This research work presents a new algorithm for axes rotation that overcomes some disadvantages found in [4, 5], with good performance. Moreover, it brings an interesting contribution on the rotation of PV buses, not previously considered. / Mestrado / Energia Eletrica / Mestre em Engenharia Elétrica

This thesis deals with the assessment of the location of the new transformer station 400/110 kV in terms of conditions in the 110 kV network, which will be supplied from this substation. The new 400/110 kV transformer station will replace the current transformer station 220/110 kV Tábor, which will be decommissioned in connection with the overall 220 kV system attenuation in the Czech power transmission system. On the basis of the load flow simulation of the 110 kV distribution network and calculations of the short-circuit conditions performed by simulation SW LUG two variants of the location of a new 400/110 kV transformer station were assessed. The 110 kV network calculations were focused on the evaluation of voltage conditions, the 110 kV lines loading in the standard operating scheme and in failure states according to the N-1 criterion, short-circuit conditions and losses. On the basis of the computational analyses, the technical measures necessary to ensure the reliable operation of the 110 kV network in the given area are designed and economically evaluated.

This master thesis is focused on analysis of reactive power flow in LV and MV networks. In the first part there is a definition of reactive power and description of individual parts of electrical networks that contribute with their reactive power to distribution network. The second part is dedicated to calculation of power flow in simulation software PSS® Sincal where on numerical models of network different types of network configuration are tested and consequently its influence on reactive power flow is evaluated. A more detailed analysis is dedicated to reactive power compensation in networks with distributed generation equipped with Volt-Var regulation and its possible negative mutual influence. This thesis also includes general recommendation on the basis of network simulation analysis concerning installation of compensating systems in distribution transformer station.

The diploma thesis deals with dispersed generation (production). The small electric power sources are connected into distribution networks. Types and principles of the small electric power sources are studied. The legislation framework concerning renewable energy sources utilization is described. These power plants have impact into distribution networks and therefore techniques for the source connection to distribution network are included in the thesis. The impact of the specific small source of electricity must be studied.

The penetration of photovoltaic (PV) and electric vehicles (EVs) continues to grow and is predicted to claim a vital share of the future energy mix. It poses new challenges in the built environment, as both PV systems and EVs are widely dispersed in the electricity distribution system. One of the vital tools for analyzing these challenges is load flow analysis, which provides insights on power system performance. Traditionally, for simplicity, load flow analysis utilizes deterministic approaches and neglecting  correlation between units in the system. However, the growth of distributed PV systems and EVs increases the uncertainties and correlations in the power system and, hence, probabilistic methods are more appropriate. This thesis contributes to the knowledge of how uncertainty and correlation models can improve the quality of load flow analysis for electricity distribution systems with large numbers of residential PV systems and EVs. The thesis starts with an introduction to probabilistic load flow analysis of future electricity distribution systems. Uncertainties and correlation models are explained, as well as two energy management system strategies: EV smart charging and PV curtailment. The probabilistic impact of these energy management systems in the electricity distribution system has been assessed through a comparison of allocation methods and correlation analysis of the two technologies. The results indicate that these energy management system schemes improve the electricity distribution system performance. Furthermore, an increase in correlations between nodes is also observed due to these schemes. The results also indicate that the concentrated allocation has more severe impacts, in particular at lower penetration levels. Combined PV-EV hosting capacity assessment shows that a combination of EV smart charging with PV curtailment in all buildings can further improve the voltage profile and increase the hosting capacity.  The smart charging scheme also increased the PV hosting capacity slightly. The slight correlation between PV and EV hosting capacity shows that combined hosting capacity analysis of PV systems and EVs is beneficial and is suggested to be done in one framework. Overall, this thesis concludes that an improvement of uncertainty and correlation modeling is vital in probabilistic load flow analysis of future electricity distribution systems.
