Simulation Model of a Unified Energy System for Different Scenarios of Planned Disturbances

Abstract

The study established that the application of graph theory enables the creation of a model of a country’s power system structure in the form of a tiered graph. This allows complex structural elements of the system, such as generating units, electrical substations, and power transmission lines, to be represented as nodes and edges in simulation models that can be used for analysis, dispatch control, and optimization of system operation. A simulation model of the unified power system has been developed to analyze operational efficiency and performance under various planned disturbance scenarios. To solve the given task, it is necessary to develop a model of the power system in the form of a tiered graph, where the nodes are generating equipment stations, transmission system substations with voltages from 330 kV to 750 kV, and distribution system substations with voltages from 110 kV to 220 kV, and the edges are power transmission lines with voltages from 110 kV to 750 kV. The model takes into account the generated and transmitted power, the nominal capacity and the number of transformers at the substations, the cross-section and maximum throughput of the power transmission lines, which made it possible to determine complex interconnections between its nodes and integrate the equipment into a unified power system for efficiency and performance analysis.
