Modelling of Facts Controllers in Power System Networks

This book presents a guide to the optimal power flow and dispatching literature from early 1930 s to present. It classifies the methods in some detail according to the optimization techniques used and shows the functional and chronological relationships. It is not a critical review in that it does not asses the various techniques. It is concluded however that there has been a marked progression in the network modeling, optimization and numerical techniques over the years. Today, commercially available OPF algorithm all satisfy the full nonlinear load flow model and a full set of bounds on variables. Some have incorporated contingency-security constraints and in future might include the discrete operation of certain variable. Most new OPF algorithms are new based on Newton methods and feature the fast-decoupled network model in their sub-problems, resulting in superior convergence characteristics.
