Abstract
This is the first year for this minitrack that evolved from the Restructuring the Electric Power Industry minitrack of the Emerging Technologies Track of previous years. This minitrack is now part of the new Complex Systems Track. This minitrack focuses on topics related to the ability of complex systems such as power systems to survive disturbances with minimal impact on performance. Specific topics include: steady-state and dynamic security assessment where the impacts of pre-specified contingencies are analyzed; Available Transfer Capability (ATC) which quantifies the ability of the interconnected system to accept increases in power transfers; and related technologies. This year’s papers focus on how security and reliability of electric power systems are affected by changes that continue to emerge from the industry restructuring. The topics presented in these papers are: a. The impact of distributed generation on system voltage stability. b. The definition of Available Transfer Capability as an interval based on alternative dispatch options. c. Multi-area probabilistic reliability assessment. d. Network control as a distributed, dynamic game. e. The impact of modeling errors on state estimation and system operation. f. Evaluation of new on-line Automatic Generation Control techniques. g. Extended factor for linear contingency analysis. Collectively, these papers offer new ideas for dealing with the challenges of complex power systems and the demands of a competitive environment.
