ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for directly controlling the net power flow on tie lines between different areas of a large electric power system, which provides automatic dynamic control to maintain the stability of the system. Utilizing a sensitivity matrix and simple measurements of real power output from each of the generators in a given area, it is possible to dynamically control the entire system in a way which accounts for loading changes in any area. The control can be implemented using a Flexible AC Transmission Systems (FACTS) technology controller which utilizes the measurements and sensitivity matrix from a given area to determine a derived net power flow from the first area to the remainder of the system, and for comparing the derived net power flow to a set point to provide an error signal which approaches zero as the controller adjusts, for example, a phase angle difference across the tie line to adjust the net power flow thereon. Alternatively, the derived net power flow can be used for scheduling the generation of power in a given area and/or to control a local controller at the generator level.
