Abstract

This work presents a methodology based on Optimal Power Flow (OPF) and Sensitivity Analysis to define a minimum network configuration for a power system fluent restoration taking security issues into account. At this early restoration stage, the system has low Short-Circuit Capacity due to the low generation capacity. An important strategy is to increase the Short Circuit Capacity at this operation stage through search network configurations with low bus equivalent impedance. In this work, the Short-Circuit Capacity is incorporated in the objective function of the OPF formulation by using sensitivity analysis which yields lowest allocation factors for more suitable reactors to reduce the equivalents impedances. The proposed OPF takes into account the synchronous machine model, the capability curves and the set of overvoltage critical restoration scenarios following load rejection. The restoration scenarios are represented at steady state prior and after load rejection. The computational tool is developed in the MATLAB platform and it is used to conduct case studies for fluent restoration branches of Brazilian Electric System. The results show that the proposed methodology is effective.
