Deployment of Reserve Corridors in PV Integrated Power System and Performance Analysis

This work identifies reserved transmission lines in the current transmission system and provides a unique operation method for Renewable Energy (RE)-integrated largescale power networks. These identified transmission lines can be considered Reserve Corridors (RC). The main objective is to utilize the Reserve Transfer Capacity (RTC) of these corridors to increase the contribution of RE. A large-scale solar photovoltaic (PV) integrated modified IEEE-24 bus system has been modelled to implement the suggested approach. The PVs have been integrated into the modified IEEE-24 bus system as PV-based Individual Power Producers (PV-IPPs). An optimal Power Flow (OPF) based mathematical model with a fifteen-minute-ahead market model has been designed to observe the system’s operational efficiency. Its objective is to demonstrate the goodness of power transmission using the recommended RC and Total RTC (TRTC) efficiency in short-term power market operations. The results also show that the suggested method provides technical and economic benefits and increases the transmission line’s Available Transmission Capabilities (ATCs).
