Abstract
As power systems generally are large interconnected systems controlled
by several parties, centralized optimal power flow (OPF) control
taking the entire grid into account is often not feasible. To use
optimal control in power systems nevertheless, the overall system is
decomposed into areas with associated subproblems, which are solved in
an iterative way. Currently available decomposition techniques assume
that the models and control objectives of areas are formulated to be
non-overlapping, i.e., the border of one area is at the same time also
the border of a neighboring area. However, when the areas are
determined independently from each other, e.g., by sensitivity
analysis, the areas can be overlapping, making currently existing
techniques not directly applicable. In this paper, we extend one of
these techniques, viz. a modified Lagrange decomposition method, to
the case of overlapping areas. Simulations are carried out on an
adjusted IEEE 57-bus system in which the controlled entities are FACTS
devices and the objective is to improve system security.
