Abstract

Given network topology and parameters, the transfer capability of a transmission interface is dependent on the generation-load profile. The traditional wisdom is to compute transfer capability under a generation profile that is close to real-time setting. An alternative solution is to compute maximum transfer capability under the worst scenario in the generation-load space. This is coined min-max transfer capability in this paper. Finding the min-max transfer capability involves two-level optimization. This paper introduces the formulation and algorithm of this optimization problem. Several numerical examples are provided to demonstrate the feasibility of the proposed approach
