Abstract

In order to estimate Available Transfer Capability (ATC), Total Transfer Capability (TTC) should be beforehand determined. Typically, the TTC is determined considering three terms; thermal, voltage and stability limits. Considering the transmission line length of Korea Electric Power Corporation (KEPCO) system, Thermal Limits is given a great deal of weight on the evaluation of TTC. Therefore, this paper presents a new approach to evaluate the TTC using the Dynamic Line Rating (DLR) for the thermal limit. Since the approach includes not only traditional electrical constraints but also real-time environmental constraints, from economical point of view, this paper could obtain more exact and useful results. T hrough the case study using KEPCO system, it is confirmed that the proposed method can be used for real time operation and the planning of electricity market.
