Systematic studies on the dispatch scheduling algorithm and related constraints can enhance the effectiveness of electricity market operation. Moreover, since various decision-making matters connected to dispatch schedule in competitive electricity market directly affect the market participants' profit, the dispatch scheduling procedure should be reasonable and systematic to convince them. Therefore, to prevent a dispute among the participants, these studies are indispensible requisites for the effective electricity market operation. In this paper, we develop unconstrained/constrained dispatch schedule algorithm applicable to Korean wholesale electricity market.

비수도권과 수도권의 수급 불균형 해소를 위한 6개의 북상선로에 흐르는 융통조류량의 한계값이 경제성 평가의 한 기준이 될 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 수도권 융통전력 한계를 고려한 제약급전사례의 검토 결과를 이용하여 FACTS 투입에 따른 증대된 융통전력한계를 바탕으로 FACTS 투입에 따른 혼잡비용측면에서 운전이익을 평가하는 방법을 논한다. 즉, F-V 해석결과를 이용하여, 수도권 융통전력 한계값을 결정하고 좀 더 정확한 운전이익 계산하기 위하여 결정된 한계값을 P-POOL 프로그램을 이용하여 혼잡비용 경감 효과를 확인할 수 있는 모의 방법을 확립한다. 확립된 방안은 계획계통을 이용해 검증하고, 최종적으로 FACTS 투입량과 투입후보지에 대한 융통전력 한계 측면에서의 경제성 평가한다.

This paper presents a new economic dispatch algorithm to improve the unit commitment solution while guaranteeing the near optimal solution without reducing calculation speed. The conventional economic dispatch algorithms have the problem that it is not applicable to the unit commitment formulation due to the frequent on/off state changes of units during the unit commitment calculation. Therefore, piecewise linear iterative method have generally been used for economic dispatch algorithm for unit commitment. In that method, the approximation of the generator cost function makes it hard to obtain the optimal economic dispatch solution. In this case, the solution can be improved by introducing a inverse of the incremental cost function. The proposed method is tested with sample system. The results are compared with the conventional piecewise linear iterative method. It is shown that the proposed algorithm yields more accurate and economical solution without calculation speed reduction.

This paper presents an application of a newly designed Adaptive Genetic Algorithm (AGA) to solve the Optimal Feeder Routing (OFR) problem for distribution system planning. The main objective of the OFR problem usually is to minimize the total cost that is the sum of investment costs and system operation costs. We propose a properly designed AGA, in this paper, which can handle the horizon-year expansion planning problem of power distribution network in which the location of substation candidates, the location and amount of forecasted demands are given. In the proposed AGA, we applied adaptive operators using specially designed adaptive probabilities. we also a Simplified Load Flow (SLF) technique for radial networks to improve a searching efficiency of AGA. The proposed algorithm has been evaluated with the practical 32, 69 bus test system to show favorable performance. It is also shown that the proposed method for the OFR can also be used for the network reconfiguration problem in distribution system.

This paper proposes a constrained multi-area dispatch scheduling algorithm applicable to interconnected power system operations. The dispatch scheduling formulated as an MIP problem can be efficiently computed by GBD algorithm. GBD guarantees adequate computation speed and solution convergence by reducing the dimension of the dispatch scheduling problem. In addition, the regional decomposition technique based on ADM is introduced to obtain efficient inter-temporal OPF solution. It can find the most economic dispatch schedule incorporating power transactions without each regional utility's private information open.

This paper propose a heuristic algorithm based on the Branch-Exchange (BE) method to solve Optimal feeder Routing(OFR) problem for the distribution system planning. The cost function of the OFR problem is consisted of the investment cost representing the feeder installation and the system operation cost representing the system power loss. We propose a properly designed heuristic strategy, which can handle the horizon-year expansion planning problem of power distribution network. We also used the loop selection method which can define the maximum loss reduction in the network to reduce calculation time, and proposed a new index of power loss which is designed to estimate the power loss reduction in the BE. The proposed index, can be considered with both sides, the low voltage side and voltage side branch connected with tie one. The performances of the proposed algorithms and loss index were shown with 32, 69 example bus system.

A robust economic dispatch algorithm involving transmission losses is proposed and investigated for a possibility of on-line applications. In this paper, the penalty factors are calculated directly from transposed Jacobian of load flow analysis with advantages of superiority to B-coefficients method based on its computation time and suitability for real time application since the approach is based on a current system condition. The proposed algorithm is systematically handling the generation capacity constraints with transmission losses. Implementation of the algorithm for IEEE systems and EPRI Scenario systems shows that computation time is enough to apply on-line economic dispatch to large power system and production cost is saved compared with the crude classical economic dispatch algorithm without considering transmission losses.

As the electric power industry is evolving into competitive market scheme, a new paradigm is required for the operation of market. Traditional dispatch algorithm was built based on the optimization model with an objective function and multiple constraints. Commercial market simulator followed the concept of the microeconomic model used in the dispatch algorithm, which is called as analytic method. On analytic method it is prerequisite to procure the exact data for the simulation. It is not easy anymore for each market participant to access to other participants' financial information while it used to be easy for monopoly decision maker to know all the information needed for the optimal operation. Considering the changing situation, it is required to introduce a new method for estimating the market price. This paper proposes an empirical method based on stochastic processes expected to build a capacity planning and long term contracts.

Recent, energy transition policies are driving to increase in the number of small photovoltaic(PV) generators. It is difficult for system operators to accurately anticipate the amount of power generated from such small scale PV generation, and this may disrupt dispatch schedules and result in an increase in cost. The need for a Virtual Power Plant(VPP) is emerging as a way of resolving these problems, as it would integrate small-scale PV plants and eliminate uncertainty about the amount of power generated, control voltage, and provide power reserves. In this paper, the cost evaluation methods are described for determination of VPP cloud charges both Net Present Value(NPV) method and Profitability Index(PI) method, the calculated outcomes of the two types of cost evaluation methods are presented in detail. It seems we secure profitability as we get 1.22 of profitability index from calculation results, it may be attractive for the aggregator as NPV is enough for satisfying profitability.

전술한바와 같이 (1) 한국전력계통은 제2차전원개발계획의 추진으로 5년후에는 급증하는 전력수요에 충분히 응할 수있는 공급력을 확보함과 동시, 어느정도의 예비력을 가질것을 목표로 하고 있다. 이와 같은 전원개발계획으로 어느정도 수급의 균형이 안전됨에 따라 계통운용의 촛잠은 전기의 질, 곧 Service quality 의 향상과 계통의 경제적 운용에 지향되어야 한다는 것은 재언할 필요가 없을 것이다. 이와 같이 복잡, 대규모화 되어가는 전력계통을 경제적으로 또한 안정하게 운용하는 한편 사회의 요청에 응하여 보다 고도한 Service를 유지해 나가기 위하여서는 계통제어의 자동화가 필연적으로 요구될 것이다. 이제까지 채용되어온 계통제어의 추이를 살펴보면 먼저 제일단계로써 자동주파수제어(AFC)가 채택되었고 이어 제이단계로써 경제부하배분(ELD)이 실시되었으며, 현재는 이 양자의 협조에 의한 자동급전이 실현되고 있는 단계에 이르고 있다. 또 금후의 총합적인 계통운용 자동화의 일환으로써, 전압무효전력제어문제까지를 여기에 포함시키겠금 현재 각국에서 이 방면의 연구가 예의추진되고 있다. 우리나라에 있어서도 의욕적인 전원개발사업의 수행에 따라, 가까운 장래 당연히 이와같은 계통제어문제가 중요한 문제로 될줄 믿는 바이다. 그러나 상술한 바와 같이 계통제어의 발전은 AFC로부터 ELD로, 다시 전압무효 전력제어를 포함시킨 총합적인 자동화에로 추진되어 왔지만, 이제부터 이러한 문제를 착수하게 되는 우리나라로서는, 반드시 이러한 발전과정을 그대로 답습할 것 없이 오히려 현재까지 쌓여진 여러가지 경험을 받아드려, 한층더 합리적인 계통제어를 기할수 있는 좋은 기회에 직면하고 있다는 것을 살려야 할 것이다. 본고에서는 이러한 관점에서 가까운 장래 우리나라 계통이 당면하여야 할 계통제어에 관한 몇가지 문제를 고찰하고저 한다. 단 개개의 문제에 관한 구체적인 해석 또는 검토에 관하여는 다음 기회에 미루기로하고, 우선 여기서는 당면문제로서 대처하지 않으면 안될 자동주파수제어문제및 계통의 경제운용문제만에 한정하여, 이것을 우리나라의 현상과 관련시켜 개설하고, 이들의 자동화에 관한 기본적인 문제를 간단히 적어 보겠다.
