Optimal Location-Allocation of TCSCs and Transmission Switch Placement Under High Penetration of Wind Power

We propose a stochastic mathematical program for finding the optimal location and compensation level of thyristor-controlled series compensators (TCSCs) and the optimal location of line switches in a transmission network. The combined uncertainty of the load and generation is captured by scenarios. The proposed problem has polynomial constraints, and we use the general linearization technique to linearize those constraints. The model becomes decomposable into a primal master and subprograms solvable by a branch-and-price procedure with the aid of column generation. The numerical results of implementing the model for the IEEE 118-bus test system show that combined investment in TCSCs and switches decreased the cost of energy and increased the penetration of wind energy more than individual investment of TCSCs or switches.
