| description | The current situation in world energy requires a new approach to the control of the power flow in power systems. On the one hand, regulations within the EU require the transition to renewable energy. On the other hand, there are no conventional sources available. Thus, there is a need to use known control tools in non-standard applications. One such example is the use of a regulating transformer inside the power grid to use it to shape the power flow in the system. This article presents a proposal of an algorithm for determining new locations for regulating transformers from the point of view of active power control. By analyzing the parameters of the power grid, it is possible to determine which branch of the grid is the most suitable for installing a regulating transformer in it. The use of a regulating transformer inside the grid improves the transmission capabilities of the national power system. |
