Nova metodologia full Newton para consideração dos limites de geração de potência reativa no problema de fluxo de potência

Abstract

This work, presents a review of the traditional methodology, of representing the limits of reactive power generation, in the solution of the power flow problem, in polar coordinates, by the Newton-Raphson method. Presents a new modeling for the treatment of these limits, based on a formulation full Newton of the problem. For this purpose, a set of sigmoid switches is used, to incorporate new equations to the Jacobian matrix, according to the generation of reactive power of the bus. In order to produce a system possible and determined, reactive power generation, is treated as a new problem state variable, corrected at each iteration of the Newton’s method. The proposed formulation, use two sigmoid switches for the tratment of reactive power generation limits, in PV buses and also, two switches, that consider the procedure of resumption of control (procedure known as backoff strategy), of the buses that reached some limit, if necessary. Thus, there is no explicit change in the bus type, as in traditional methodology, and the Jacobian matrix dimension is kept constant. In this work, all equation and formulation, were developed through Matlab software, and the results were checked, using the network analysis program – ANAREDE, academic version provided by Electrical Energy Research Center (CEPEL). Some IEEE benchmark systems are evaluated, and the results obtained, demonstrates the efficacy of the proposed formulations.
