Simulation and experimental results have indicated that the Intemet provides a convenient way for inter-control-center data exchange, and, by using state estimation (SE), accurate complete network models can be obtained for practical secu- rity and made available for transfer capability analyses.

Author Affiliation: American University of Beirut. Abstract: This paper provides a new algorithm for the optimization of distribution-network feeder configurations. The algorithm starts analysis from HV/MV substations with all loads (MV/LV substations) being disconnected and picks up loads that result in minimal incremen- tal losses. Optimality is always assured by checking on relationships correlating currents and paths,using the concept of dynamic program- ming and performing configuration changes whenever required. The algorithm relies on the comparison of the incremental losses brought by the addition of each and every load to the network. Quadratic and linear relationships between load currents and paths form the basis of the de- cisions made for the connections. The algorithm is illustrated with the help of a detailed numerical example. Geographic information systems software, ArcView, was used as the developing tool.

Author Affiliation: Hiroshima University; University of the Ryukyus. Abstract: This paper proposes a new formulation for var planning problems, including the allocation of FACTS devices. A new feature of the formulation lies in the treatment of security issues. Different from existing formulations, we directly take account of the expected cost for voltage collapse and corrective controls, in which the control effects by the devices to be installed are evaluated together with the other controls such as load shedding in contingencies to compute an optimal var plan- ning. The inclusion of load shedding into the formulation guarantees the feasibility of the problem. The optimal allocation by the proposed method implies that the investment is optimized, taking into account its effects on security in terms of the cost for power system operation un- der possible events occurring probabilistically. The problem is formu- lated as a mixed integer nonlinear programming problem of a large dimension. The Benders decomposition technique is tested where the original problem is decomposed into multiple subproblems. The nu- merical examinations are carried out using AEP-14 bus system to dem- onstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method. Keywords: Var planning, voltage stability, FACTS devices, Bend- ers decomposition, genetic algorithms.
