Abstract

Application of the optimal power flow based software package to aid instruction in the classroom is given in this paper. The package is used in the courses Computer Methods in Power Engineering, and Planning, Operation and Control of Power Systems. The essential idea is to utilize all calculation modules from the previously developed optimal power flow model. The software is applied in four projects, that is, constrained optimization, transmission expansion planning, active and reactive dispatching for operations planning, and corrective rescheduling within real time control
