Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Power delivery technologies refer to the systems and methods used for the transmission, distribution, and utilization of electrical energy. These technologies play a crucial role in ensuring the reliable and efficient supply of electricity to meet the demand of various industrial, commercial, and residential sectors.

Power delivery technologies are essential for maintaining the stability and quality of the electrical grid infrastructure. These technologies also enable the integration of renewable energy sources, such as solar and wind, into the grid, which facilitates the efficient management and control of distributed energy resources, improving overall grid reliability and resilience.

Moreover, power delivery technologies contribute to energy efficiency and reduce environmental impacts. Advanced metering infrastructure and demand response systems enable better monitoring and management of energy consumption, promoting energy conservation and sustainability.

In a nutshell, power delivery technologies play an important role in supporting economic growth, improving living standards, and promoting innovation.

This Special Issue aims to publish various research materials on transmission technology, distribution technology, grid integration technology, power quality technology, energy storage technology, and demand-side management.

In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following:

  • Long distance, efficient and reliable power delivery technologies.
  • Power electronic apparatus for transmission and distribution

This paper introduces a 17-bus 500 kV test system intended for transmission expansion planning (TEP) studies. The overhead lines used in the system are based on an actual 500 kV transmission line geometry. Although several test systems have been developed for various forms of power system analysis, few are specifically tailored for TEP studies at the transmission voltage level, as opposed to the distribution voltage level. Current test systems for TEP studies are limited to single loading conditions only for normal operating conditions, and the majority of these systems are intertwined with issues related to the energy market or devised specifically for integrating new generations and loads into the existing power systems. However, ensuring a test system satisfies both voltage drop and line loading criteria during both normal and all single contingency operations is crucial in TEP studies, and addressing these issues under contingency conditions poses notable challenges. Moreover, practical TEP scenarios involve varied loadings, including peak load and dominant loading (60% of peak load) scenarios, while the existing test systems are configured solely for single loading conditions. To address these technical gaps, this paper introduces the 17-bus test system operating at a transmission voltage level of 500 kV, meeting technical requirements under normal and all single contingency operations for both peak load and dominant load scenarios. Detailed specifications of the proposed test system and load flow analysis at both normal and contingency conditions for different loading conditions are presented. This test system serves as an invaluable resource for TEP studies. Full article
