Scheduling of Generation Stations, OLTC Substation Transformers and VAR Sources for Sustainable Power System Operation Using SNS Optimizer

Typically, the main control on alternating current (AC) power systems is performed by the scheduling of rotary machines of synchronous generators and static machines of on-load tap changer (OLTC) transformers and volt-ampere reactive (VAR) sources. Large machines of synchronous generators can be man...

Large machines of synchronous generators can be managed by utilizing terminal voltage control when synchronized in parallel to the power system.
