Abstract

Traditionally security constrained optimal power flow and VAr planning methods consider static security observing voltage profile and flow constraints under normal and post contingency conditions. Ideally, these formulations should be extended to consider dynamic security. This paper reports on a BC Hydro/CEPEL joint effort establishing a dynamic security constrained OPF/VAr planning tool which considers simultaneously static constraints as well as voltage stability constraints. This paper covers the details of formulation and implementation of the tool together with the test results on a large scale North American utility system and a reduced Brazilian system
