A Linear Programming Model for Power Flow Control Problem Considering Controllable and Fluctuating Power Devices

摘要

The integration of renewable energy sources into grid, and ever growing power demand have increased the risks of stability and quality of power of the grid. The purpose of this paper is to present a new approach of formulating a power flow control problem using linear programming model which assigns power levels for controllable power devices and power flows between power sources and loads to accommodate power fluctuations caused by fluctuating power devices. In addition, different cost minimization criteria have been taken into consideration and their effects on power assignment has been investigated. Finally, Linear Programming Solver in MATLAB environment is used to find the solution of the proposed power flow control problem.
