This letter investigates parallelism approaches for equation and Jacobian evaluations in large-scale power flow calculation. Two levels of parallelism are proposed and analyzed: inter-model parallelism, which evaluates models in parallel, and intra-model parallelism, which evaluates calculations within each model in parallel. Parallelism techniques such as multi-threading and single instruction multiple data (SIMD) vectorization are discussed, implemented, and benchmarked as six calculation workflows. Case studies on the 70,000-bus synthetic grid show that equation evaluations can be accelerated by ten times, and the overall Newton power flow advances the state of the art by 20%.

This paper proposes a robust transient stability constrained optimal power flow problem that addresses renewable uncertainties by the coordination of generation re-dispatch and power flow router (PFR) tuning.PFR refers to a general type of network-side controller that enlarges the feasible region of the OPF problem. The coordination between network-side and generator-side control in the proposed model is more general than the traditional methods which focus on generation dispatch only. An offline-online solution framework is developed to solve the problem efficiently. Under this framework the original problem is significantly simplified, so that we only need to solve a low-dimensional deterministic problem at the online stage to achieve real-time implementation with a high robustness level. The proposed method is verified on the modified New England 39-bus system. Numerical results demonstrate that the proposed method is efficient and shows good performance on economy and robustness.
We present an omnidirectional wireless power transfer (WPT) system capable of automatic power flow control using three orthogonal transmitter (Tx)-repeater (Rp) pairs. The power drawn from each transmitter is automatically adjusted depending on the mutual inductance between the receiver and the Tx-Rp pair. The proposed approach enables the receiver to harvest almost uniform power with high efficiency (90%) regardless of its position.
Quantifying the impact of inverter-based distributed generation (DG) sources on power-flow distribution system cases is arduous. Existing distribution system tools predominately model distributed generation sources as either negative PQ loads or as a PV generator and then employed a PV-PQ switching algorithm to mimic Volt/VAR support. These models neglect the unique characteristics of inverter-based distributed generation sources, have scalability and convergence issues, and are ill-suited for increasing solar penetration scenarios. This work proposes an inverter-based DG model accounting for the inverters topology, sensing position, and control strategies. The model extends recently introduced analytical positive sequence generator models for three-phase studies. The use of circuit-simulation based heuristics help achieve robust convergence. Simulation of the PG&E prototypical feeders using a prototype solver demonstrate the models accuracy and efficacy.
Widespread utilization of renewable energy sources (RESs) in subtransmission systems causes serious problems on power quality, such as voltage violations, leading to significant curtailment of renewables. This is due to the inherent variability of renewables and the high R/X ratio of the subtransmission system. To achieve full utilization of renewables, battery energy storage systems (BESSs) are commonly used to mitigate the negative effects of massive fluctuations of RESs. Power flow router (PFR), which can be regarded as a general type of network-side controller, has also been verified to enhance the grid flexibility for accommodating renewables. In this paper, we investigate the value of PFR in helping BESSs for renewable power accommodation. The performance of PFR is evaluated with the minimum BESS capacity required for zero renewable power curtailment with and without PFRs. The operational constraints of BESSs and the terminal voltage property of PFRs are considered in a multi-period optimization model. The proposed model is tested through numerical simulations on a modified IEEE 30-bus subtransmission system and a remarkable result shows that 15% reduction of BESS capacity can be achieved by installing PFRs on a single line.
Phase Shifting Transformers (PST) are used to control or block certain flows of real power through phase angle regulation across the device. Its functionality is crucial to special situations such as eliminating loop flow through an area and balancing real power flow between parallel paths. Impedance correction tables are used to model that the impedance of phase shifting transformers often vary as a function of their phase angle shift. The focus of this paper is to consider the modeling errors if the impact of this changing impedance is ignored. The simulations are tested through different scenarios using a 37-bus test case and a 10,000-bus synthetic power grid. The results verify the important role of impedance correction factor to get more accurate and optimal power solutions.
