- Description
- Traditional security-constrained unit commitment (SCUC) considers only static security criteria, which may however not ensure the ability of the system to survive dynamic transition before reaching a viable operating equilibrium following a large disturbance, such as transient stability. This paper proposes a tractable mathematical model for transient stability-constrained unit commitment (TSCUC) and a practical solution approach. The problem is modeled without explicit differential-algebraic equations, reducing the problem size to one very similar to a conventional SCUC. The whole problem is decomposed into a master problem for UC and a range of subproblems for steady-state security evaluation and transient stability assessment (TSA). Additional constraints including Benders cut and so-named stabilization cut are generated for eliminating the security/stability violations. The extended equal-area criterion (EEAC) is used for fast TSA and analytically deriving the stabilization cut, wherein multiple contingencies having common instability mode can be simultaneously stabilized by one cut. The proposed approach is demonstrated on the New England 10-machine system and the IEEE 50-machine system, reporting very high computational efficiency and high-quality solutions.
