Preventing Future Blackouts by Means of Enhanced Control: From Complexity to Order

This talk is partially based on the IEEE Proc. paper, Nov 2005

Effects of Phase Angle Regulators (PARs) scheduling of the tie-lines between the control areas [5]

•Case #1—with PARs scheduling within their maximum capacity limits, wheel of 8,800MW possible by using real power generation only.

•Case #2—with PARs , the maximum wheel into Waldwick without re-scheduling real power inside NYISO is 500MW (a 400MW increase)

•PARs HAVE HUGE EFFECTS ON FEASIBLE TRANSFERS ACROSS CONTROL AREAS.

•MAKING THESE MOST OPTIMAL AT THE INTERCONNECTION LEVEL REQUIRES ON-LINE COORDINATION ACROSS THE CONTROL AREAS.
