EDSA’s Power System Optimization (PSO) program is an advanced security constrained optimal power flow (SCOPF) software that is also a tool for optimal sizing and placement of reactive power resources (reactors, capacitors, and SVCs).
The control settings such as generators active power, transformer taps, scheduled voltages of generators are optimized not only for the base case system configuration but also for up to 50 different system configurations.
In the SCOPF mode, PSO finds an operating point that optimizes a given objective function and satisfies a set of physical and operating constraints for the base network configuration and contingency situations. In the reactive power planning mode of operation, PSO determines a minimum cost reactive power expansion plan in VAr equipment which ensures feasible system operation simultaneously for the normal state (base case) and under contingency situations.
EDSA PSO program
The PSO utilizes the state-of-the art in optimization techniques to assist engineers to minimize system losses, perform economic dispatch, minimize load shedding, plan reactive power resources, and optimize system voltage profile with minimum control setting movements. It allows the user to globally optimize the system operation by using one of the following objective functions:
• Minimization of system power losses;
• Minimization of generation costs;
• Minimum control adjustments;
• Minimization of load shedding;
• Optimization of reactive power resources.
The optimal function is achieved by using one or any combination of the following control features:
• Transformer tap adjustment;
• Generator scheduled voltage;
• Generator active power;
• Static VAR compensation.
The PSO program also accounts for the physical and operating constraints of the power system. Based on this information, the program intelligently provides recommendations to optimize the power system taking into account normal operation parameters, as well as multiple system configurations. It is capable of handling power systems comprising thousands of buses, and has been used to optimize the planning and operation of some of the world’s largest and most complex power systems.
