Power system is becomming more and more complex and large. So system is stressed increasingly. This paper presents a method to select contingency ranking in power systems for EMS operation. Firstly, the proposed method is applied line outage using Thevenin equivalent circuit. Secondly, Contingency harmful to system is selected by loss variation between base case and fault. Thirdly, this paper prescribed simulated line sequence. Therefore this algorithm shows higher computation speed and effective memory use.

In the on-line security analysis of power system, Automatic Contingency Selection (ACS) is commonly used to reduce the number of contingency cases which will be evaluated in detail. This paper describes a fast and reliable ACS method which adopts DC load flow in conjunction with compensation theorem to improve execution time, and applies severity performance index, divided on each limit level for considering overload rate, to make reliable contingency ranking. The method has been tested in IEEE 25 bus system and KEPCO 130 bus actual power system. The results of these tests verify its superiority to both the execution time and reliability, and illustrate its effectiveness for the practical use.

This paper presents the selection of optimal placement for STATCOM (Static synchronous Compensator) which is one of the FACTS (Flexible Alternating Current Transmission System) devices, considering line contingency. Line contingency ranking is gotten by using sensitivity of load margin. According to line contingency ranking line contingency was considered. And IOP (Index for selecting optimal Placement of STATCOM) is calculated by the variation of each bus's reactive mum for several line contingencies. The bus where has the biggest value of lOP is the most optimal placement to install STATCOM for voltage stability. IPLAN is used to program this part which get IOP. This study is carried out on the modified IEEE14 Bus Test System to confirm the efficiency of the method.

This paper presents a new algorithm in formulating a performance index for contingency selection method considering voltage security. Security limits defined-in terms of real power line flows and voltage magnitudes are considered in normalized subspaces where in critical contingencies are identified by a filtering algorithm using the infinite norm. Two types of limits, warning limit and emergency limit, are introduced for voltage and line flow. Usually performance indices have been constructed for real power line flows and voltages with each different criterion. This paper, however, presents a method that constructs them with the same criterion in use of the norm properties, so that we can assess security considering both of them. Rapid contingency simulation is performed using one iteration of fast decoupled load flows with LMML(Inverse Matrix Modification Lemma).

Contingency analysis is one of the most important tasks encountered by planning and operation of lafe scale power systems. This paper describes a new contingency analysis methods for small signal security assessment based on the eigen-sensitivity/perturbation of the electromechanical oscillation modes. The eigen-sensitivity/perturbation with respect to line suceptances and controller parameters can he used to find possible sources of the system instability, and to select contingency for small signal stability. Also, the contingency selection to identify critical generators for MW changes can be obtained by computing the relative movement of the system oscillation modes. The proposed algorithm has been successfully tested on the KEPCO systems which is comprised of 791-bus, 1575-branch and program PSS/E

A voltage stability assessment consists of the contingency screening, voltage stability analysis, and counter measures. A widely used index for the voltage stability assessment of power system is the reactive power margin. It shows some factors of voluntariness as following the status of power system and load levels for the target analyzing area. Therefore, it has a demerit that the absolute amounts of reactive power margin is not to be applied by the quantized margin criterion. This paper selects a vulnerable area by assigning the voltage instability for the particular contingency for the selection of vulnerable area in the respect of the investigation of reactive power margin or VQVI as an index of V-Q margin sensitivity in order to overcome the demerit. This will be able to grasp the V-Q margin sensitivity for the target analyzing area by presenting the ratio of power margin between the margin before and after contingency as following the calculation of reactive power margin. The presented method is applied to the voltage stability assessment for the Metropolitan area of 2003 KEPCO summer peak system.

This paper presents a new method for contingency selection of the transient stability. Contingency ranking in transient stability is done by estimating the change in the imaginary part of electro-mechanical oscillation mode, which represents modal synchronizing coefficient. And the change in the imaginary part is obtained by applying eigen-sensitivity theory of augmented matrix to linear system model. The Proposed algorithm was tested for New England System and compared the results with PSS/E dynamic simulation.

The information revolution is sweeping through the global economy. Information technology is transforming the structure of competition. The successful implementation of information technology is dependent on the effectiveness of information systems planning. However, it is very difficult to select an appropriate methodology for information systems planning given an organization situation. A contingency model is proposed on the selection of an appropriate approach depending upon the organizational situation. Although the contingency framework is not yet theoretically proved, the approaches suggested here turned out to be of benefit to the cases of the two real world projects studied. These approaches attempt to combine Business Systems Planning of IBM and Critical Success Factors in two different manners to make planning process more efficient and effective.

This paper presents a new systematic contingency selection and screening method for transient stability. The variation of modal synchronizing torque coefficient(MSTC) is computed using eigen-sensitivity analysis of the electromechanical oscillation modes in small signal stability model and contingencies are ranked in decreasing order of the sensitivities of the MSTC(SMSTC). The relevant clusters are identified using the eigenvector or participating factor. The proposed algorithm is tested on the KEPCO system. Ranking obtained by the SMSTC is consistent with the time simulation results by PSS/E.

This paper presents a new systematic contingency selection, screening and ranking method for on-line transient security assessment. Transient stability of a particular generator is influenced most by fault near it. Fault at the transmission lines adjacent to the generators are selected as contingency. Two screening methods are developed using the sensitivity of modal synchronizing torque coefficient and computing an approximate critical clearing time(CCT) without time simulation. The first method, which considers only synchronizing power, may mislead in some cases since it does not consider the acceleration power. The approximate CCT method, which consider both the acceleration and deceleration power, worked well. Finally the Single Machine Equivalent(SIME) method is implemented using IPLAN of PSS/E for detailed stability analysis.
