Abstract
The cost of electricity is an indicator of a country's level of development. This industry involves billions of dollars. Hence, the operation of Electric Power Systems constitutes a real problem that consists of a set of stages related to distinct components. In this paper, we propose a novel simulation model to study the state of transmission line systems due to scheduled and unscheduled maintenances. The simulation model is founded in an extension of the Discrete Event System Specification formalism called Routed DEVS. The transmission line system is modeled with a set of discrete-event simulation models that provide a complete state description of components. Such a simulation model can be adapted to describe any transmission line system through a network topology. A case study is presented with aims to show who the simulation works. Our proposal is the starting point to study real-life operations of Electric Power Systems from generation to transmission stages.
Highlights
In the present paper, we propose a novel simulation model to study the state of transmission line systems due to scheduled and unscheduled maintenances
The simulation model defined in this paper provides suitable support for the individual description of the dynamic behavior of transmission lines
We use all lines with the same behavioral description. An improvement of such a description can be defined in Discrete Event System Specification (DEVS) with the aim to enhance the transmission line representation. This feature allows using our models as a basis for other discrete-event simulation models to introduce the behavior of transmission lines
Summary
The operation of electrical systems is a complex problem given its size and constraints. Simulation tools allow recreating the dynamic behavior of EPS on a short and large scale In consequence, such simulation tools promote the evaluation for dispatching electricity from different far regions, with both large- and small-scale generators, such as hydropower plants, thermal power plants, photovoltaic parks, and wind parks. There are several simulation tools for studying the dynamic behavior of EPSs. For example, many authors affirm that the dispatcher simulator EPRI-OTS (Bhatt et al, 2015) is the current standard for simulators of EPSs. Other simulation techniques pre-scheduling the power system by including time series analysis (Nogales et al, 2002) along with simulation approaches.
