An Algorithm for Power Flow Control Based on the Generation Adjustment

Based on the physical characteristics of power network, this chapter summarizes the key factor, which affects the power flow distribution—the generator’s actual operating mode. And this chapter establishes a control model for power flow, which according to the operation requirements can determine the operations that generator requires, and the power distribution of the network. This solution solves the control model by means of combining the advantages of the sensitivity algorithm and the modern optimization methods, simultaneous equations, and the introduction of an appropriate amount of the unit’s operating parameters. At the same time, the power distribution in the system and the output of the unit, which are calculated by the model, are more accurate and reasonable. At last, this chapter shows the validity, accuracy, and reasonableness of the proposed model and the solution through the example of IEEE 5 and 30 bus system.
