1. Ivrropuction
It is desiced to dispatch generator output strictly
secording to bid price in Pool operation, and beyond the
Pool, bilateral and multilateral contracts should be
serviced without curtailment. Transmission system
operating constrains such as voltage limits and equipment
overloads, or transient security (stability) concerns, may
however, inhibit system operation. The violation of
‘operating limits, the congestion problem, has been widely
studied [1-3] for electric power systems as they existed
prior to deregulation as well as for the deregulated
Industry. There are also several studies of system
operation taking account of transient security for pre=
deregulation systems [4]. ‘The study of tansient
security constrained dispatch inthe deregulated
competitive system has, however, received les attention.
This is because in vertically inteprated systems output can
be rescheduled between generators, oF generators shut
down and others stared by a system operator, without
[egal implications or commercial liabilities, but this is not
the case afer deregulation. This paper is concered with
this more complex issue of enerator dispatch in
eregulated, competitive power systems, taking transient
security into account.
The first two parts of Section 2 of the paper is an
introdvetion to transient stability assessment by the
corrected hybrid method. Although this is a topic on
‘which much has been published [6-9] it i included as a
useful introduction to the main topic. The third part of
Section 2 is of key importance forthe method of attack to
be proposed in subsequent sections. It is shown tha the
correcied transient energy margin (CTEM) as a stability
index varies linearly with the amount of power that is
shifled from one generator to another in order to improve

‘That is, using linear methods the computational
complexity of the rescheduling algorithms can be
reduced.
Section 3 describes how this technical methodology is
incorporated into a model of a competitive generation
system, a power market, Many straightforward
optimization ‘algorithms have been published for
rescheduling the operation of a power market to minimize

Since there are many possible
(candidates) rescheduling normal system dispatch so as to
improve security for one case may adversely affect
another, In particular the advanced generator group may
be different for different potential contingeacies. This
raises the more complex concem of trade-off between
conflicting. requirements and even the case where no
rescheduling scheme can completely satisfy the
requirements of all candidate contingencies. Section 4
formulates a method of attack for this more vexed
problem. A way of classifying critical and non-critical
generator groups corresponding to different candidate
contingencies is combined with a two-objective (mini

possible’ answer to this problem. Illustrative examples of
the single contingency ease and the case when there are
conflicting candidate contingencies to be considered are
included

A. Corrected Hybrid Method
The corrected hybrid method is an important and
effective transient security assessment (TSA) tool
developed in recent years. It combines time-domain
Simulation and transient energy analysis and has the
advantages of providing a system stability index while, if
desired, incorporating detailed generator models and
‘component representations, The method what is called a
comected transient energy function (CTEF) which
represents the energy exchange of system transient
process more exactly than the traditional energy funetion
approach (11,12), From this & definition of corrected
transient energy margin (CTEM) hts been derived, which
is used in this paper as an index to indicate the degree of2004 IEEE Inerstonal Conference on Eleti Uslity Deregulation, Restructuring and Power Technologies (DRPT2004) April 2004 Hong Kong
system stability. The main advantage of the CTEM is that
it bears a linear relationship to several operation
parameters over a range that is sulicient for control
‘purposes, This feature is useful to model the effect of
system parameters on stability and develop useful control
schemes
