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 holds the system at most secure level. This thesis presents a methodology to form optimal schedule for yearly preventive maintenances of transmission lines with minimum duration of maintenance condition. Network and operational constraints are included in the problem considering the power systems that have seasonally changing load and generation profiles. In order to model and solve the optimization problem, linear power flow and linearization techniques are utilized. Furthermore, a relaxation method is developed and applied to the large-sized problem in order to eliminate excessive time requirement of solution with actual method. The proposed methodology and relaxation method was applied to Turkish Power Network model of 2017. The obtained schedules are evaluated, and tradeoffs between the actual and relaxation methods are presented.

Optimal allocation of sectionalizing switches in rural distribution systems
Daldal, Mustafa; Özay, Nevzat; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2011)
The distribution system which forms the final connection between customers and power source plays a vital role in an electrical network. Different studies show that substantial proportion of the customer interruptions occurs due to the failures on distribution network. The ongoing privatization process of the electrical distribution services in Turkey raises the importance of reliable and continuous electricity supply significantly. The new regulations come up with this privatization process and the electri...
Optimal phasor measurement unit (PMU) placement for the power systems with existing SCADA measurements
Ertürk, Bulut; Göl, Murat; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2017)
It is extremely important to maintain efficiency, sustainability and reliability of the generation, transmission and distribution of the electrical energy; hence it is mandatory to monitor the system in real time. State estimation has a key role in real time monitoring of a power system. The considered power system has to be observable in order to perform state estimation. Traditionally, power system state estimators employ SCADA measurements. However, as the number of Phasor Measurement Units (PMUs) increa...
Optimization of electricity markets in the price based and security constrained unit commitment problems frameworks
Şahin, Cem; Erkmen, İsmet; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2010)
Operation of the electricity markets is subject to a number of strict and specific constraints such as continuous load-generation balance, security of supply, and generation technology related limitations. Contributions have been made to two important problems of the Electricity Markets, in the context of this study. In this study, Price Based Unit Commitment problem in the literature, which is a tool for the GENCO for operations planning, is extended considering the interdependencies between the Natural Ga...
Multi-hazard reliability of electric power transmission networks with spatially correlated components
Altay, Umut; Dener Akkaya, Ayşen.; Department of Statistics (2019)
Many network systems such as, gas and water pipelines, power transmission and distribution systems, highways and communication systems extend spatially over large geographical regions. Such network systems are composed of interconnected components which form paths. Correlation, resulting from similar topography, soil conditions as well as external loading due to the same environmental factors, between the behaviour of those elements should be taken into consideration and be quantified. In this respect the s...
Determination of optimum values for voltage setpoints of power stations in Turkey
Elma, İsmail; Güven, Ali Nezih; Tör, Osman Bülent; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2014)
Voltage control is performed in three hierarchical levels in Turkish power system: primary, secondary and tertiary voltage control. Primary and secondary voltage controls are defined as the regulation of the voltage at the generator terminal and at the high voltage busbar of the power plant according to the pre-determined setpoints. The determination of the voltage setpoints for the power plants, which is defined as the tertiary voltage control, is performed by the operators in National and Regional Load Di...
