TRANSCRIPT
EE 552, Exam 2, Take-home. Due Monday, April 11, 2016, 5:00pm. You may use class notes or any
reference materials (e.g., books, etc.) that you like; however, you must work alone, i.e., you should
not be communicating with anyone else about how to work the problems on this exam.
1. Generation planning (25 pts): Develop the complete set of equations for generation expansion
plan formulation 11-b (GEP-11b), based on the following data and assumptions.
a. Plan for 30 years, at 5 year intervals (thus you should have 6 investment periods (at years
5, 10, 15, 20, 25, and 30).
b. Use annual discount rate of 9%.
c. Maintain a reserve of 15% above peak load.
d. Assume a CO2 cost of $25/MT (you will need to add a term to the objective function to
account for this).
e. Transmission topology and data: Two comments follow…
Note the definitions of positive branch flow for each Pbk, k=1,…,5.
The admittances yij are given on a 100 MVA power base.
y13 =-j10 y14 =-j10
y34 =-j10

f. Line flow constraints: -500MW≤Pbk≤5000MW, k=1,5. The per-unit expressions of these
constraints, on a 100 MVA power base, are -500≤Pbk≤500. Given the level of loads (see
item (j) below), this implies the transmission has infinite capacity.

i. Load duration curve and corresponding blocks. Assume a load growth rate of 2%/year,
applied to each value d1, d2, d3, for each of the two loads in the system, with the durations
h1, h2, and h3 remaining the same. Therefore, for example, for the load at bus 2, d1 would
be 1.0, 1.0824, 1.1951, 1.3195, 1.4568, 1.6084, 1.7758 pu for years 1, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25,
and 30, respectively. You will need to compute the values of d2 and d3 for these years as
well. Then you will need to do the same for the load at bus 3.

2. Production costing (22 pts):
a. (4 pts) A load duration curve characterizes the next year for a power system is given below.
The power system is supplied by one 3 MW unit. Identify the minimum load, the loss of
load probability, the loss of load expectation, and the expected unserved energy, assuming
the 3 MW unit is perfectly reliable.

b. (5 pts) Now consider that the power system is supplied with one 4 MW unit having a forced
outage rate of 0.25. The load is still characterized by the load duration curve above.
Compute loss of load probability, loss of load expectation, and expected unserved energy.
c. (3 pts) Consider the two situations you have assessed in parts (a) and (b) of this problem.
Complete the following sentence:
Although situation ____ has the larger LOLP; situation ____ has the larger EUE because

d. (4 pts) Compute the energy expected to be produced by the 4 MW unit of the year.
e. (3 pts) Assume the 4 MW unit is a thermal unit. What is the minimum additional
information you need to know to compute the cost incurred by unit 4 in producing the
amount of energy developed in part (d)?
f. (3 pts) After reviewing a production cost program which computes annual production costs
in a way that is similar to the procedure suggested in parts (a)-(c) of this problem, an
engineer decides to write a production cost simulation program that will allow
representation of the power system with much greater operational fidelity. What is the
single most important change that the engineer needs to make, relative to that suggested in
parts (a)-(e)?

a. (4 pts) Express this problem in the form of Benders, i.e., express an appropriate master problem
and an appropriate (primal) subproblem.
b. (3 pts) Identify an initial solution to the master.
c. (4 pts) Formulate the subproblem dual in terms of w*, and based on the dual formulation, and
the solution to the master problem found in part (b), explain why you know that the primal
subproblem is infeasible.
d. (3 pts) Given the sub-problem primal is infeasible, explain why it is possible that we may still
find a solution to this problem (and thus, that this solution will be feasible in the subproblem
primal).
e. (3 pts) Find a constraint on w which will make the subproblem primal feasible.
4. Planning principles (20 pts): A good paper on planning (you should read in its entirety - it can
be found in IEEE XPlore) is: M. Awad, S. Broad, K. Casey, J. Chen, A. Geevarghese, J. Miller, A. Perez, A. Sheffrin, M. Zhang,
E. Toolson, G. Drayton, A. Rahimi, and B. Hobbs, “The California ISO transmission economic
assessment methodology (TEAM): principles and application to Path 26,” Power Engineering
Society General Meeting, 2006.
This paper lists five “principles” to economic evaluation of proposed transmission upgrades. I have
chosen from the paper an excerpt for each “principle.” For each one, identify how you would
implement this “principle.” Where appropriate, base your answer on information, concepts, and/or
methods we have covered in EE 552. I am expecting from you at minimum a 2-3 sentence paragraph
for each “principle.”
First key principle: Benefit Framework:
Second key principle: Network Representation:
Third key principle: Market Prices:
Fourth key principle: Uncertainty:
Fifth key principle: Resource alternatives to
transmission expansion:
Fifth key principle (continued):
5. Transmission line parameters (16 pts): A 765 kV transmission line has phase separation of 36
feet. Each phase is a 4-conductor bundle with 24-inch diameter. The conductor type is Tern (795
kcmil). The following data is obtained from tables:
Ind reactance 1 ft spacing for 4-conductor bundle at 24’’: Xa=0.028Ω/mile
Ind reactance spacing factor for 36’ phase separation: Xd=0.4348Ω/mile
Cap reactance at 1ft spacing for 4 conductor bundle at 24’’: X’a=0.0051MΩ-mile
Cap reactance spacing factor for 36’ phase separation: X’d=0.1062MΩ-mile
a. (6 pts) Compute the SIL for this line configuration with 4 conductors per bundle.
b. (4 pts) A designer considers reducing the number of conductors per bundle from 4 to 3, while
maintaining conductor spacing and phase spacing at 24 inches and 36 feet, respectively. Would
you expect this change to increase or decrease the surge impedance loading? Support your
answer.
c. (6 pts) The designer desires to maximize the power transfer capability of the line. Relative to
the design of part (a)
If the line is 30 miles long, what changes would you consider?
If the line is 300 miles long, what changes would you consider?
