1. Borah Mitigators Problem Definition: Sponsor: Idaho Power
Borah West Path thermally limited during high
demand periods following loss of critical transmission lines
Explore compensation for thermal effects increasing load carrying capacity in lines
May avoid dropping loads during peak demand
Sponsor: Idaho Power
Client: Dave Angell and Orlando Ciniglio, Idaho Power Engineering
Advisor: Dr. Brian Johnson and Dr. Joe Law, University of Idaho Professors
Method:
Determine which lines will limit modified Borah model system
Using DC contingency analysis, determine mitigation scheme for Borah model system
Determine the coefficients for the variables;
Jim-Bridger
Local-Area-Load
Local-Area-Generation
Pre-Line (Borah-Adelaide)
Borah West
Modified Borah West
Future Work:
Using DC Contingency write up and recommendation, our method will be expanded to the full WECC system.
