Power Flow
• A common power system analysis tool is the power flow – It shows how real and reactive power flows through a network,
from generators to loads
• Solves sets of non-linear equations enforcing "conservation of power" at each bus in the system (a consequence of KCL)– Loads are usually assumed to be constant power – Used to determine if any transmission lines or transformers are
overloaded and system voltages
• Educational version PowerWorld tool available at– http://www.powerworld.com/gloversarmaoverbye

Area Control Error (ACE)
•The area control error is the difference between the actual flow out of an area, and the scheduled flow.•Ideally the ACE should always be zero.•Because the load is constantly changing, each utility must constantly change its generation to “chase” the ACE.

Automatic Generation Control
• BAs use automatic generation control (AGC) to automatically change their generation to keep their ACE close to zero.
• Usually the BA control center calculates ACE based upon tie-line flows; then the AGC module sends control signals out to the generators every couple seconds.

Generator Costs
• There are many fixed and variable costs associated with power system operation.
• The major variable cost is associated with generation.• Cost to generate a MWh can vary widely.• For some types of units (such as hydro and nuclear) it
is difficult to quantify.• Many markets have moved from cost-based to price-
based generator costs

Economic Dispatch
• Economic dispatch (ED) determines the least cost dispatch of generation for an area.
• For a lossless system, the ED occurs when all the generators have equal marginal costs.
IC1(PG,1) = IC2(PG,2) = … = ICm(PG,m)

Power Transactions
• Power transactions are contracts between areas to do power transactions.
• Contracts can be for any amount of time at any price for any amount of power.
• Scheduled power transactions are implemented by modifying the area ACE:
ACE = Pactual,tie-flow - Psched

Security Constrained Economic Dispatch
• Transmission constraints often limit system economics.
• Such limits required a constrained dispatch in order to maintain system security.
• In three bus case the generation at bus 3 must be constrained to avoid overloading the line from bus 2 to bus 3.

Multiple Area Operation
• If Areas have direct interconnections, then they may directly transact up to the capacity of their tie-lines.
• Actual power flows through the entire network according to the impedance of the transmission lines.
• Flow through other areas is known as “parallel path” or “loop flows.”

Pricing Electricity
• Cost to supply electricity to bus is called the locational marginal price (LMP)
• Presently PJM and MISO post LMPs on the web• In an ideal electricity market with no transmission
limitations the LMPs are equal• Transmission constraints can segment a market,
resulting in differing LMP• Determination of LMPs requires the solution on an
Optimal Power Flow (OPF)

Historical Development of Wind Power
• The first known wind turbine for producing electricity was by Charles F. Brush turbine, in Cleveland, Ohio in 1888

• 12 kW• Used electricity
to charge batteries in the cellar of the owner’s mansion

Historical Development of Wind Power
• First wind turbine outside of the US to generate electricity was built by Poul la Cour in 1891 in Denmark
• Used electricity from his wind turbines to electrolyze water to make hydrogen for the gas lights at the schoolhouse

Historical Development of Wind Power
• In the US - first wind-electric systems built in the late 1890’s
• By 1930s and 1940s, large numbers in rural areas not served by the grid for pumping water and sometimes electricity generation
• Interest in wind power declined as the utilitygrid expanded and as reliable, inexpensive electricity could be purchased
• Oil crisis in 1970s created a renewed interest in wind until US government stopped giving tax
• Renewed interest again since the 1990sPhoto: www.daviddarling.info/encyclopedia/W/AE_wind_energy.html 29

Types of Wind Turbines
• “Windmill”- used to grind grain into flour or pump water
• Many different names - “wind-driven generator”, “wind generator”, “wind turbine”, “wind-turbine generator (WTG)”, “wind energy conversion system (WECS)”
• Can have be horizontal axis wind turbines (HAWT) or vertical axis wind turbines (VAWT)
• Groups of wind turbines are located in what is called either a “wind farm” or a “wind park”

Vertical Axis Wind Turbines
• Darrieus rotor - the only vertical axis machine with any commercial success
• Wind hitting the vertical blades, called aerofoils, generates lift to create rotation
• No yaw (rotation about vertical axis) control needed to keep them facing into the wind
• Heavy machinery in the nacelle is located on the ground
• Blades are closer to ground where windspeeds are lowerhttp://www.absoluteastronomy.com/topics/Darrieus_wind_turbine 38

Horizontal Axis Wind Turbines
• “Downwind” HAWT – a turbine with the blades behind (downwind from) the tower
• No yaw control needed- they naturally orient themselves in line with the wind
• Shadowing effect – when a blade swings behind the tower, the wind it encounters is briefly reduced and the blade flexes

Horizontal Axis Wind Turbines
• “Upwind” HAWT – blades are in front of (upwind of) the tower
• Most modern wind turbines are this type• Blades are “upwind” of the tower• Require somewhat complex yaw control to keep
them facing into the wind– Need to search for the wind to start turning
• Operate more smoothly and deliver more power• Largest turbines are on the order of 6 MW with 1.5
MW a quite common design

Number of Rotating Blades
• Windmills have multiple blades– need to provide high starting torque to overcome weight of the
pumping rod– must be able to operate at low wind speeds to provide nearly
continuous water pumping– a larger area of the rotor faces the wind– Note, most seem to write “wind speed” as two words
• Turbines with many blades operate at much lower rotational speeds - as the speed increases, the turbulence caused by one blade impacts the other blades
• Most modern wind turbines have two or three blades
