Strategic Transmission Investment using Modular Static Synchronous Series Compensators

Strategic Transmission Investment using Modular Static Synchronous Series Compensators

Duke Energy, a major US utility, describes the application of modular SSSCs to enable strategic transmission investment. Modular SSSCs mitigate risk by alleviating overloads that could occur due to deferred projects. Duke evaluates the use of modular SSSCs to defer a reconductor for several years and finds this solution is lower cost, smaller footprint and greater flexibility than alternate forms of power flow control.

Trends in Transmission Planning Uncertainty and the Impacts and Value of Leveraging Flexible Investment Strategies and Technologies

Trends in Transmission Planning Uncertainty and the Impacts and Value of Leveraging Flexible Investment Strategies and Technologies

This paper proposes a scorecard that was developed via input and review from dozens of utilities across the globe. It contains monetized and non-monetized metrics that represent best practices from throughout the industry. This tool offers a way for utilities to compare flexible solutions against traditional options, evaluate transmission investment decisions and improve their decision making process.
