Abstract: Formulation of day-ahead operation schedule for large-scale power grid requires security validation,including static security,dynamic and transient stability.It is an important and basic task for day-ahead security validation to generate an AC power flow that satisfies the demand of the schedule.A new method of generating the day-ahead schedule power flow is proposed,which consists in dividing the problem into two subproblems-the active subproblem and the reactive subproblem.The inconsistency of various kinds of schedule data is coordinated by solving the active subproblem,while a rational voltage distribution is achieved by solving the reactive subproblem.Both of the two problems are formulated as optimization models with constraints satisfied and are solved with an interior point algorithm.Numerical test results on the testing system and real power systems show that the method is capable of providing rational day-ahead schedule power flow.
