Abstract
Transient stability is important for configuring an optimal and secure operating point for the power system. The consideration of transient stability can make the optimal power flow with degraded performance. It is known that the power flow router (PFR) can manage multiple branch power flows in a more flexible way. In this paper, we study a new transient stability-constrained optimal power flow (TSC-OPF) model with the incorporation of PFRs. The load flow model of PFR is considered and the Single Machine Equivalent method is used for transient stability analysis. We adopt the sequential approach to address TSC-OPF with PFRs and we evaluate the system loadability on the WSCC nine-bus system. The simulation results reveal that the system loadability with PFRs are significantly enhanced and the number of iterations required to stabilize the system are largely decreased. It is verified that PFR is effective for loadability enhancement with the consideration of transient stability of power system.
