Efficient Available Transfer Capability Analysis Using Linear Methods
Description
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.

Utililty Application of Fiber Optic Cables
Description
Presentation slides from the December5,2000 Internet Seminar. The seminarwill present theconstruction of different fiber opticcables and describes their applicationsby the utility industry. The cablesare installed on high voltagetransmission lines. Several years ofoperational experiments show that thehigh electric field produced by thephase conductors can destroy theimproperly installed cables and causesevere loss of revenue. In a clearenvironment corona discharge can damagethe cable. In polluted conditions dry-band arcing occurs and destroys thecable jacket. The seminar explains thephenomena, presents the results oflaboratory simulation and gives amathematical analysis that can be usedto predict cable performance.

Are Price Spikes Predictable, Reproducible and Avoidable?
Description
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.?
