Abstract:Variability in demand, increase in generation from renewable sources and failure of components lead power system operations
become more complex. Utilities can implement various control mechanisms, such as energy storage systems, demand-side management, renewable energy curtailment and transmission switching in order to operate power systems without endangering reliability of grids. In this study, a two-stage stochastic programming model that co-optimizes transmission switching operations and investments decisions (i.e. size and location) related with lines and storages subject to limitations on load shedding and curtailment amounts is developed. The effect of transmission switching on other control mechanisms, total investment and operational costs, siting and sizing decisions of energy storage systems, and load shedding and renewable energy curtailment amounts are discussed.
