Sensitivity Based Network Contingency Ranking Using NR Flow Method L TEX

1) The document discusses contingency analysis in power systems which involves ranking potential contingencies by severity to create a shortlist for further analysis. It presents a sensitivity-based method using Newton-Raphson power flow to construct performance indices to rank contingencies. 2) The proposed method constructs real power and voltage performance indices based on NR power flow results to reflect contingency severity. It then performs full AC load flow to study contingency effects. 3) The effectiveness of the proposed contingency ranking method is demonstrated on standard 6-bus and IEEE 14-bus test systems, showing it can eliminate many contingency cases and focus on the most severe ones.

Abstract
In the area of power system planning and operation,contingency anal-
ysis plays an important role. In the presentdays, on-line security assess-
ment is done by contingency ranking, with the help of various computer
software, flow for obtaining the magnitudes of different parameters.The
motive of contingency ranking is to create a short list of potential contin-
gencies quickly and rank them according to their severity in an accurate
manner. In this paper sensitivity based wide performance index with re-
spect to outage have been presented. The Newton-Raphson power flow
results were used to construct two kinds of performance indices, namely
the real power performance index and voltage performance index, which
reflect the degree of severity of contingencies. Then full AC load flow
was performed for each contingency case, to study the contingency ef-
fect. The effectiveness of the proposed method has been demonstrated by
contingency screening and ranking on a standard 6-busand IEEE 14-bus
system.

1 Introduction
Contingencies are expressed as a specified set of events occurring within a short
duration of time, which actuall indicates loss or failure of one or more com-
ponents on power system . In the event of an unplanned (or unscheduled)
equipment outage, contingency analysis gives the operators an indication, of
what might happen to the power system . It is basically a software application
run in an energy management system, simulating a hypothetical test on a list
of conjectural cases, which would create line flow, voltage or reactive power vi-
olations. These cases are identified and ranked in order of their severity using
contingency ranking algorithm. Usually contingency analysis is segregated into
three parts, contingency definition, selection and evaluation, but in present days
the selection and the evaluation both steps are done in same segment. For more
than three decades many work has been done on contingency selection specially,
whose aim is to reduce the original long list of contingencies by selecting only the

cases with severe limit violations . This selection is accomplished by mainly two
methods, i.e., contingency ranking and contingency screening. The screening
methods are local solution based analysis, which basically gives top priority to
the most severe cases for detailed ac analysis, at the same time the non-critical
cases are removed from the list.

1.1 Voltage performance index “PIV”


This index measures the severity of the bus voltages which are out-of limits and
for a set of contingencies, this index provides a direct means of comparing the
relative severity of the different outages on the system voltage profile.

2 Conclusion
The methods of contingency ranking using sensitivity factors have been pre-
sented. The analysis with AC power flow using NRPF is found most suitable in
the approach of contingency selection, as it played a very important role in elim-
inating the large number of contingency cases and focused on the most severe
contingency case. From the results, it can be concluded, that the calculation of
performance indices gives a good measure of the cases, which has the highest
potential to make the system parameters to go beyond their limits.
