Transmission congestion not only increases the operation risk, but also reduces the operation efficiency of power systems. Applying a quasi-dynamic thermal rating (QDR) to the transmission congestion alarm system can effectively alleviate transmission congestion. In this paper, according to the heat balance equation under the IEEE standard, a calculation method of QDR is proposed based on the threshold of meteorological parameters under 95% confidence level, which is determined by statistical analysis of seven-year meteorological data in Weihai, China. The QDR of transmission lines is calculated at different time scales. A transmission congestion management model based on QDR is established, and the transmission congestion alarm system including conductor temperature judgment is proposed. The case shows that transmission congestion management based on QDR is feasible, which improves the service life and operation flexibility of the power grid in emergencies and avoids power supply shortages caused by unnecessary trip protection.

The integration of the voltage-source converter based high voltage direct current (VSC-HVDC) system makes the set-point of its active power adaptive to the changes in the power flow, and contributes to the curative congestion management. To further exploit the dynamic behavior of a hybrid AC/DC power system in curative congestion management scenarios, this paper investigates a novel control scheme for voltage angle droop controlled HVDC (VAD-HVDC) systems. The proposed scheme to alleviate the circuit overload is estimated firstly by calculating the severity index when the power flow changes under N-1 situations. Then the voltage angle controlled HVDC system is applied on the modified IEEE 39-bus 10-machine test power system for the time-domain simulation. The dynamic behavior in the HVDC station validates that the VAD control can stabilize the DC voltage and possess a good ability against interference. In addition, the dynamic characteristics analysis on the AC transmission lines proves that the hybrid AC/DC system integrated with the VAD controlled HVDC system are in possession of good stability after the N-1 contingency event. The VAD controller employed in the HVDC system is capable of effective congestion management to mitigate the critical loadings on the transmission lines.

FACTS is one aspect of the power electronics revolution that is taking place in all areas of electric energy. FACTS devices can be an alternative to reduce the flows in heavily loaded lines, resulting in an increased loadability, low system loss, improved stability of the network, reduced cost of production and fulfilled contractual requirement by controlling the power flows in the network. This paper investigates a methodology for placement of thyristor controlled phase angle regulator (TCPAR) in order to relieve congestion in the transmission lines while increasing static security margin and voltage profile of a given power system. Sensitivity-Based Methodology is opted for finding the optimal location The effectiveness of the purposed methods is demonstrated on modified IEEE 30-bus system by using Power World Simulator Software version 12.0.

Flexible Alternating Current Transmission

Due to increasing power demand in a deregulated power system, the stability of the power system may get affected and sometimes it may also cause congestion in the transmission lines of power networks. It is a major issue for a deregulated power system and its management provides a competition environment to different market players. In this paper, market split based approach is used to tackle the problem of congestion which split the system into zones. Locational Marginal Pricing (LMP) method is used to access the prices at different buses. The objective is to minimize the congestion effect. DC optimal power flow based system is used to solve such type of problem. TCSC (Thyristor-Controlled Series Compensation), FACTS (Flexible Alternating Current Transmission System) device is used to reduce the losses in a transmission system. Market splitting based approach is effective to manage the prices at different buses and system stability is increased by using TCSC. The whole work is carried out on IEEE 14 bus system.

Congested Systems

Relieving congestion is a major technical issue in power transmission systems. In this paper, simultaneous placement of Thyristor controlled series capacitors (TCSC) and Voltage source converter based distribution generators (VSC-DG) are used for relieving congestion, minimize system cost and maintain the system in secure state. The system has been analyzed in three stages: (i) first stage, the congestions are made in different transmission network by overload and line outages, (ii) second stage, relieving congestion of transmission lines by using TCSC and VSCDG, where these devices are placed simultaneously at their optimal locations, (iii) comparative cost analysis is done between normal and congested systems. The proposed approach is tested on the 62-bus Indian power system network. The optimal solution of the test systems are obtained by genetic algorithm method and its solutions are compared with primal linear programming. All the results are validated through Power World Simulator and GA toolbox in MATLAB.
