Power system transmission enhancement through storage

In this thesis case studies have been made to study the impact ofSMES system on power system transmission with a decoupled Optimal Power Flow program. Linear Programming (LP) and Quadratic Programming (QP) storage scheduling methods including transmission security have been developed, LP method is suitable for single storage system and QP method is capable of solving multiple storage scheduling problem. Results on single storage system is compared with Load Shaving method, which indicate that three methods have approximately the same storage schedule and daily fuel cost. Results on two storage system with QP method suggest that the coordination between storage units can help to transfer more power from base units and reduce total fuel cost in peak hours.
