An Efficient MILP Formulation of Economic Dispatch with Adjustable Transformer Ratio and Phase Shifter

Abstract

In this short paper, we study the economic dispatch with adjustable transformer ratio and phase shifter, both of which, along with the transmission line, are formulated into a generalized branch model. Resulted nonlinear parts are thereafter exactly linearized using the piecewise liner technique to make the derived ED problem computationally tractable. Numerical studies based on modified IEEE systems demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method to efficiency and flexibility of power system operation.
