Abstract

Nowadays, secure and reliable operation and control of large interconnected power systems is mainly focused on the use of information on Total Transfer Capacity (TTC). TTC is important indicator of any system interfaces used to preserve system stability in market environment. Under the current conditions, it is necessary to recalculate TTC every day or even every hour to estimate reliability margins for all power transfers through each grid’s interfaces. Therefore, a big advantage for TSO to bring into system planning and control the advanced tool of TTC calculations, which is based on a high-level automation of several repetitive load flow calculations. Under proposed approach, users will spend their time on tuning and preparing big data for calculations. While variable calculations should be performed fully automatically. Such an approach significantly reduces the time required to TTC calculation and reduces the number of errors of operational personnel in performing calculations.
