Proxy Limits and Congestion Metrics

Project Status: 
Completed

The purpose of this study was to determine the best way to incorporate “proxy-limits” in a DCOPF to preserve features of the solution of a more detailed ACOPF.  Specific voltage and stability limits cannot be directly represented in a DCOPF and are indirectly included as line flow limits.  This research sets out to determine the best way to set proxy limits to preserve the dispatch and prices of the ACOPF, in a DCOPF representation.
