COMPUTATION OF AVAILABLE TRANSFER CAPABILITY BY CHANGING GENERATOR PARTICIPATION FACTOR IN ELECTRICAL POWER SYSTEM
Now a day"s all our basic needs are relates with electricity. The demand for electricity is tremendously increasing day by day. Due to insufficient transmission capacity one or more transmission lines may operate beyond their limits thereby causing the network congestion. It can be detected by evaluation of Available Transfer Capability (ATC) of the network for various applied power transactions. Major challenge in electrical power system is to rigorously compute the transfer capability remaining in the system for further transaction which is describe as Available Transfer capability. This paper reports the appraisal of ATC using participation factor and power transfer distribution factor. The participation factor is a measure of how the real power output of the generator changes in response to load demand. In this paper, by choosing different participation factor, its effect of ATC is observed by MATLAB. The solutions obtained are useful in the present restructuring environment.
