Abstract

Security Regions (SR) are graphical tools used globally in electric power transmission operation centers, including in Brazil, represented by three-dimensional graphs that allow the analysis of the system’s safety margin in response to variations in generator power. Optimal Power Flow (OPF) is a computational technique that optimizes energy distribution, minimizing losses while meeting operational constraints. Although a system with low losses is ideal, it is crucial to evaluate these conditions from the perspective of operational safety. This work investigates how the solutions obtained by OPF impact the SR in the New England system, using the ANAREDE software, seeking to identify whether the point of minimum losses compromises the system’s safety.
