Investigation of control of power flow by using phase shifting transformers: Turkey case study

Transmission systems are needed to be upgraded based on expected/unexpected load growth factor by years.However, it is not so easy to install and upgrade the transmission system, which requires transmission planning calculationahead of time. Traditionally, transmission companies built extra transmission lines to meet that load growth, but it isnot easy and cost-effective to upgrade the system every time loads increase. Some unexpected load growth may occurfor some load points that is not in the part of planning calculation. For those situations, the transmission system mayface serious congestion problems. Transmission companies have been looking for a way to control power flow rather thanbuilding extra electricity capacity. With the development of technology, more complex and integrated flexible alternatingcurrent transmission system technologies that can control power flows by changing the voltage amplitude, the angle, andthe impedance of the transmission line are now widely used. Phase-shifting transformer (PST) is one of the most widelyused devices that can be used for controlling power flow. PST can vary the amount or direction of the active power flowby injecting voltage at different phases into the transmission line on which PSTs are installed. In this study, possiblelocation case studies of PST in the Turkish transmission network will be investigated. Static analyses will be performedusing the PSS/E and Python programs. The maximum and minimum production status of distributed wind powerplants will be analyzed comparatively in the energy corridor with PST. Capacity improvement and power flow dispatchfrom each case study with and without PST will be compared. Finally, we propose a mathematical model to suitablydetermine the angle of PST in order to minimize real power losses that are caused by PST and provide N-1 security.
