| 1 | Security Assessment: Decision Support Tools for Power System Operators Presentation slides for the September
5,
2000 Internet Seminar. This talk presents new developments
in Risk Based security assessment,
decision support tools for power system
operators. An overview of the risk
based
security assessment approach is
presented. Recent progress in
extending
this approach as a decision support
tool
for power system operators is
described. | Prof. James McCalley, Iowa State University | 3/19/2002 | Link | URL |
| 2 | Are Price Spikes Predictable, Reproducible and Avoidable? Presentation slides
from the October 3, 2000
Internet
Seminar. The
primary
objective of this seminar was to
present
two different but related areas of
research on the volatility of spot
prices
for electricity. These areas are 1) an
analysis of actual price behavior in
the
PJM market, and 2) a series of
economic
experiments to test how market
structure
affects price volatility. | Prof. Timothy Mount, Cornell University | 3/19/2002 | Link | URL |

| 3 | Efficient Available Transfer Capability Analysis Using Linear Methods Presentation slides from the November
7, 2000 Internet Seminar. While the
concept of ATC has been
around for decades, the desire to
calculate its value on a large scale is
new. Organizations responsible for the
reliable operation of the transmission
system are given the task of
determining ATC values on a daily
basis. ATC calculations typically
include a large number of contingencies
as well as multiple transfer directions
and multiple system conditions. This
presents a labor-intensive task for
those required to calculate
ATC values.
Because of these circumstances,
Powerworld Corporation was approached
by the Bonneville Power Administration
(BPA) to develop a new software product
for their use in calculating ATC
values. The new ATC tool, integrated
into the Simulator OPF/ATC software
product, was the culmination of this
work. This talk will cover the basic
engineering requirements and
mathematics that governed the
development of the ATC tool. The
concept of Linear ATC analysis will be
introduced, along with the underlying
mathematics of Linear ATC analysis
including
* Power Transfer Distribution Factors
(PTDFs)
* Line Outage and Closure Distribution
Factors (LODFs/LCDFs)
* Outage Transfer Distribution Factors
(OTDFs)
Other special topics integrated into
PowerWorld Simulator OPF/ATC will also
be discussed such as (1) the inclusion
of phase-shifting transformers directly
in linear analysis, and (2) the
iteration of linear ATC for use in
modeling controller changes. | Jamie Weber, PowerWorld Corp. | 3/19/2002 | Link | URL |

| 4 | Utililty Application of Fiber Optic Cables Presentation slides from the December
5,
2000 Internet Seminar. The seminar
will present the
construction of different fiber optic
cables and describes their applications
by the utility industry. The cables
are installed on high voltage
transmission lines. Several years of
operational experiments show that the
high electric field produced by the
phase conductors can destroy the
improperly installed cables and cause
severe loss of revenue. In a clear
environment corona discharge can damage
the cable. In polluted conditions dry-
band arcing occurs and destroys the
cable jacket. The seminar explains the
phenomena, presents the results of
laboratory simulation and gives a
mathematical analysis that can be used
to predict cable performance. | Prof. George Karady, Arizona State University | 3/19/2002 | 2.8M | PDF |
