3. Powerflow Data Overview • In the Test Dataset there are • Three areas. • Twenty-two busses. • Twenty-five ACtransmission lines. • Three transformers • One DC transmission line. • One phase shifter.

4. Bus Numbering Convention • The bus numbering scheme was set up to easily recognize which area a bus is located in. • Area 1 • Bus numbers are between 101 and 199. • There are seven busses in Area 1 (101 – 107). • Area 2 • Bus numbers are between 201 and 299. • There are seven busses in Area 2 (201 – 207). • Area 3 • Bus numbers are between 301 and 399. • There are eight busses in Area 3 (301 – 308).

6. Transmission Line Parameters • The transmission line parameters (impedances and flow limits) were calculated using the transmission line length and voltage class. • Voltage Classes: 345 and 500 kV. • Lengths: 50, 75, 100, 150 miles. • The line parameters were calculated to ensure • Transmission line impedance values and flow limits are consistent based on voltage class and length. • Realistic flow patterns and congestion patterns for the Test Dataset’snetwork topology.

7. The transmission line impedances were calculated using typical per length impedance values (ohms / mile) for 345 and 500 kV lines (found in a GE reference manual). • The per length impedance values were converted to per-unit. • The per unit values were multiplied by each branch’s length to come up with a per-unit branch impedance. Calculating Transmission Line Impedances

8. A powerflow text book was used as a reference to find • Typical SIL values for 345 and 500 kV transmission lines. • The practical line loadability (in pu of SIL) for 50, 75, 100, and 150 mile long lines. • The typical SIL values were multiplied by the practical line loadability (in pu of SIL) values to get the calculated branch flow limits. • The calculated branch flow limits were divided by 4.15 to get the Adjusted Values (the Adjusted Values are used in the Test Dataset). • The flow limits had to be reduced from the Calculated Values to cause congestion in the Test Dataset.

11. There are three load Areas in the Test Dataset. • Area 1 is a winter peaking load area. • Area 2 and Area 3 are summer peaking load areas. Load Data Overview

12. Hourly Load Data Graph

13. System Load Busses • There are three load busses in each Area. • Area 1 • The load at Bus 102 consumes 30% of Area 1 load. • The load at Bus 103 consumes 20% of Area 1 load. • The load at Bus 105 consumes 50% of Area 1 load. • Area 2 • The load at Bus 203 consumes 50% of Area 2 load. • The load at Bus 204 consumes 20% of Area 2 load. • The load at Bus 206 consumes 30% of Area 2 load. • Area 3 • The load at Bus 301 consumes 50% of Area 3 load. • The load at Bus 305 consumes 30% of Area 3 load. • The load at Bus 306 consumes 20% of Area 3 load.

15. Generator Data

16. Generator Overview • There are 63 plants with a combined total of 8630 MW of Installed Capacity. • Thermal Resource Types • Nuclear, Coal, Combined Cycle (CC), Combustion Turbine (CT), Internal Combustion (IC), Steam. • Renewable Resource Types • Biomass (Bio), Geothermal (Geo), Wind, Solar • Other • Hydro, Pumped Storage, Demand Side Management (DSM)

17. Generator Naming Convention • Each generator’s name is derived from it’s gen type and the bus number it is located on. • For example • Coal_104 -> Coal plant on bus 104. • Nuclear_301 -> Nuclear plant on bus 301. • Wind_101 -> Wind farm on bus 101. • CC_103 -> CC plant on bus 103. • CT_305 -> CT plant on bus 305. • CT_305a -> Another CT plant on bus 305. • CT_305b -> Yet another CT plant on bus 305.

21. Thermal Dispatch Order • Based on the heat rates and fuel prices the resources will tend to be dispatched in the following order • Nuclear, Coal, CC, CT, IC, Steam, DSM • Nuclear and Coal plants are base loaded. • CC plants tend to move with the load. • CT and IC plants typically are used to meet peak load and spinning reserve requirements. • Steam resources are inefficient and typically used only during hours of peak load. • DSM is very inefficient and used sparingly.
