Congestion became an inseparable part of power system operation, after deregulation of the monopolistic electric market. Presence of congestion causes rise of local market powers, and hence it is avoided during day-ahead planning. However, it is possible to encounter congestion during real-time operation because of the uncertain behavior of the loads. Although, the congestion can be detected in real-time, its management is not trivial as it requires change of topology or generation dispatch. This work proposes a real-time congestion management method with the help of Distributed Static Series Compensators (DSSCs). DSSC is a Flexible AC Transmission System (FACTS), which can alter the series impedance of transmission line it is connected, and communicate between each other and a master controller. Although number of installed DSSCs is very low for the time-being, it is expected that DSSCs will be populate rapidly for power flow control thanks to its high reliability, fast response time and low cost advantages. This thesis firstly introduces a method for optimal placement of DSSCs to obtain system controllability. Then an algorithm is developed to control the considered power system with DSSCs in real time. The algorithm aims to control power flow to avoid congestions and to minimize system losses. The proposed methods are validated using numerical examples.

Short term electricity price forecasting in Turkish electricity market
Özgüner, Erdem; Güven, Ali Nezih; Tör, O. Bülent; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2012)
With the aim for higher economical efficiency, considerable and radical changes have occurred in the worldwide electricity sector since the beginning of 1980s. By that time, the electricity sector has been controlled by the state-owned vertically integrated monopolies which manage and control all generation, transmission, distribution and retail activities and the consumers buy electricity with a price set by these monopolies in that system. After the liberalization and restructuring of the electricity powe...
Performance based ratemaking in electric distribution services
Uğuz, Mustafa; Sevaioğlu, Osman; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2006)
Regulation is one of the main elements in electric distribution services. The objective of the regulation is to maintain the balance between the rates and the service quality of electric distribution on behalf of both utilities and customers. In rapidly changing world the regulation regimes are also changing .In this thesis, an increasingly implemented regulation model in electric distribution, performance based ratemaking is studied. Its advantages and disadvantages, implementing methods and its quality ef...
A soft computing approach to projecting locational marginal price
Nwulu, Nnamdi I.; Fahrioglu, Murat (2013-05-01)
The increased deregulation of electricity markets in most nations of the world in recent years has made it imperative that electricity utilities design accurate and efficient mechanisms for determining locational marginal price (LMP) in power systems. This paper presents a comparison of two soft computing-based schemes: Artificial neural networks and support vector machines for the projection of LMP. Our system has useful power system parameters as inputs and the LMP as output. Experimental results obtained...
Optimal maintenance scheduling for transmission lines
Özmen, Engin Berk; Göl, Murat; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2018)
The fundamental mission of a transmission system operator is to supply desired electricity to all parts of the network continuously within acceptable economic and quality standards. Transmission lines provide the essential infrastructure to carry the power from generation stations to customers. Maintenances of the transmission lines are of great importance for not only power system reliability but also operational costs and equipment life span. Furthermore, operating the system with all available equipment ...
Price based unit commitment with reserve considerations
Okuşluğ, Ali; Güven, Ali Nezih; Tör, Osman Bülent; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2013)
In electricity markets of modern electric power systems, many generation companies, as major market participants, aim to maximize their profits by supplying the electrical load in a competitive manner. This thesis is devoted to investigate the price based unit commitment problem which is used to optimize generation schedules of these companies in deregulated electricity markets. The solution algorithm developed is based on Dynamic Programming and Lagrange Relaxation methods and solves the optimization probl...
