| description | This paper presents the VCHP platform as a solution to address PV curtailment and line congestion in scenarios of increasing renewable energy penetration. Solar PV generation profiles and load profiles were generated for three scenarios (2025, 2030, and 2035) using data provided by KPX. Modifications were made to the IEEE 30 Bus model to accurately reflect the Korean power system, including the introduction of PCA and LCA at relevant buses. Line congestion was evaluated using metrics such as TUR, STUR, and TLR. The research findings indicate that integrating the VCHP platform in all scenarios effectively alleviates line congestion, as shown by the TUR remaining below 1. Importantly, the reduction in line losses exceeds the decrease in power flow, demonstrating the effectiveness of VCHP in reducing power losses. The results suggest that as renewable energy sources increase, line congestion issues may arise in the existing power system. However, integrating the proposed VCHP platform is a valuable solution for effectively utilizing surplus PV energy and improving the stability of the power grid. The adoption of such a platform can significantly enhance the operation and management of the power system. |
