Power Units
Wärtsilä Corporation has introduced the Wärtsilä
PowerCubes to provide industrial customers, utilities and
independent power producers with small power plants based on 1-3
generating sets. They are delivered, on turnkey basis, in an
economical, reliable and fast way.
The Wärtsilä PowerCubes are complete
single-engine power plants with all the auxiliaries and components
needed to form a working power production unit. Each plant is of
cubical construction with radiators on the roof and an exhaust gas
stack close to the PowerCube or integrated within it. The PowerCubes
are based on the Wärtsilä 32 or Wärtsilä 20 engines in the oil-fired
Wärtsilä OilCube and the Wärtsilä 34SG engine in the gas-fired
Wärtsilä GasCube, each providing up to 9 MWe. The PowerCubes will be
delivered with all components and structures above ground.

A Comparison of the AC and DC Power Flow Models for LMP
Calculations

Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering

- Abstract:
The paper examines
the tradeoffs between using a full ac model versus the less exact,
but much faster, dc power flow model for LMP-based market
calculations. The paper first provides a general discussion of the
approximations associated with using a dc model, with an emphasis on
the impact these approximations will have on security constrained
OPF (SCOPF) results and LMP values. Then, since the impact of the
approximations can be quite system specific, the paper provides case
studies using both a small 37 bus system and a somewhat larger
12,965 bus model of the Midwest U.S. transmission grid.
Results are provided comparing both the accuracy and the
computational requirements of the two models. The general conclusion
is that while there is some loss of accuracy using the dc
approximation, the results actually
match fairly closely with the full ac solution.
