Optimal utilization of transmission system without congestion in the network is most important as congestion can violet the security of the system. Sufficient amount of reactive power support needs to be provided in the system in order to maintain the power flow limits on transmission lines and voltage limits at bus bars. This Paper focuses on analysis of congestion occurrence with N-1 contingencies for line flow limits in case of line and generator outages using linear sensitivity factors and congestion management using series compensation. Generation shift factor and line outage distribution factor are used to find sensitive lines and series compensation in two stages are applied to the most sensitive lines to relieve congestion. Standard IEEE 6 bus test system is used to analyze contingencies and congestion mitigation. All the simulations are performed using power world simulator version 19.0. Mathematical calculations are also performed for the same 6-bus system for validation of results.

The power transmission network has the problem of management due to congestion in the open access system. Power flow due to transactions in transmission lines can cause overloads. This condition is known as congestion. There are several alternative methods for congestion management which are suitable for different electricity markets. In this paper the Locational Marginal Pricing (LMP) method is discussed for an assessment of transmission congestion management and results are obtained to manage the transmission congestion such as redispatching existing generators outside the congested area to supply power to the customer. The primal dual IP algorithm is used to calculate the LMP’s and congestion cost values. The proposed work has been implemented on a 14-bus test system to illustrate the advantages and disadvantages of this method

One of the most important tasks of System Operator (SO) is to manage congestion as it threatens system security and may cause rise in electricity price resulting in market inefficiency. In corrective action congestion management schemes, it is crucial for SO to select the most sensitive generators to re-schedule their real and reactive powers and the loads to curtail in extreme congestion management. This paper proposed the selection of most sensitive generators and loads to re-schedule their generation and load curtailment based on the improved line flow sensitivity indices to manage congestion. The impact of slack bus on power flow sensitivity factors has been determined to encourage fair competition in the electricity markets. Effect of bilateral and multilateral transactions, and impact of multi-line congestion on congestion cost has also been studied. The generators’ reactive power bid has been modeled by a continuous differentiable tangent hyperbolic function. The proposed concept of congestion management has been tested on a practical 75-bus Indian system and IEEE-118-bus test system.

In a deregulated electricity market whenever congestion management problem occurs, the network collapse because of voltage instability. In this paper total real and reactive power loss deviation based sensitivity indexes (PLDS and QLDS) with rank co-relation concept, has been proposed for the optimal location and operating range of TCSC device. With this placement  the power flow in over loaded overhead lines has been reduced and that results in an increased loadability of the power system and also improves the voltage stability and security and also solves the congestion management problem. So ultimately, a more energy efficient transmission system is possible. The case studies were conducted on IEEE 14 bus test system. The ensue corroborate the intended approach for social welfare maximization inreal time.

In power systems, transmission network provides the infrastructure to support a competitive electricity market, but congestion occurs frequently in the weakly connected networks. Transmission congestion can enhance the locational market power in the congested area and weaken the efficiency of electricity market. In this paper market dispatch problem in the pool-based electricity market is formulated so as to maximize the social welfare of market participants subject to operational constraints given by real and reactive power balance equations, and security constraints in the form of apparent power flow limits over the congested transmission lines. The comparisons of the real and reactive power costs of generators, benefit value of consumers, producers surplus, locational marginal prices (LMPs) under uncongested or congested conditions are evaluated by using a five-bus system.

Integration of renewable energy sources (RESs) and electric vehicles (EVs) to electric power grids is increasing. These RESs and EVs may introduce major problems to grid such as transmission lines congestion. Owing to the causative factors nature, congestion may regularly happen and continue forlong commulative time. Thus, transmission efficiency (TE) is a major factorwhen relieving congestion. Congestion can be relieved by using phase shifting transformers (PSTs), hybrid phase shifters (HPSs), or flexible AC transmission system (FACTS) devices. However, PSTs have technical drawbacks such as their large steps, which may result in increased losses, and FACTS devices cost is high. This paper investigates benefits of using an HPS rather than a PST in terms of TE. As HPS operates continuously, it provides more precise control of active power flow than PST. A modified IEEE-14 bus test system is used and a security margin is kept in each simulated case with HPS/PST. Results revealed higher TE when an HPS is used. Thus, RESs and EVs can be more optimally hosted with HPSs.

Now-a-days the Flexible AC Transmission Systems (FACTS) technology is very effective in improving the power flow along the transmission lines and makes the power system more flexible and controllable. This paper deals with the most robust type of FACTS devices; it’s a Unified Power Flow Controller (UPFC). Many cases have been taken to study how the system behaves in the presence and absence of the UPFC under normal and contingency conditions. The UPFC is a device that can be used to improve the bus voltage, increasing the loadability of the line and reduce the active and reactive power losses in the transmission lines, through controlling the flow of real and reactive power. Both the magnitude and the phase angle of the voltage can be varied independently. The steady state model of UPFC has been adopted on IEEE-30 bus test system and simulated using MATLAB programming language. Newton Raphson (NR) numerical analysis method has been used for solving the load flow of the system. The practical part has been solved through Power System Simulation for Engineers (PSS\E) software Version 32.0. The Comparative results between the experimental and practical parts obtained from adopting the UPFC where too close and almost the same under different loading conditions, which are (5%, 10%, 15% and 20%) of the total load.

Transmission lines react to an unexpected increase in power, and if these power changes are not controlled, some lines will become overloaded on certain routes. Flexible alternating current transmission system (FACTS) devices can change the voltage range and phase angle and thus control the power flow. This paper presents suitable mathematical modeling of FACTS<br />devices including static var compensator (SVC) as a parallel compensator and high voltage direct current (HVDC) bonding. A comprehensive modeling of SVC and HVDC bonding in the form of simultaneous applications for power flow is also performed, and the effects of compensations are compared. The comprehensive model obtained was implemented on the 5-bus test system in MATLAB software using the Newton-Raphson method, revealed that generators have to produce more power. Also, the addition of these devices stabilizes the voltage and controls active and reactive power in the network.


Congestion is severe problem that affects the power system security as it violates the various operating limits of the power system so congestion management is an important task for independent system operator. For managing congestion, smart wire module has been used in series with transmission line. When smart wire is connected in series with most congested line, there is improvement in voltage profile, reduction in transmission line loading and losses. Transmission Congestion Distribution Factor (TCDF) is calculated to know congestion in lines and congestion is managed with the help of smart wire module. It is observed that value of TCDF also reduced when smart wire is connected. Work has been carried out on IEEE 15 bus system on MATLAB.

AbstractThis paper presents a solution for the transmission congestion management considering voltage stability issues using optimal generation rescheduling. While practicing congestion management using optimization techniques, the control variables remain under their upper or lower limits but it may lead to the lowered level of voltage security after optimization. To counterbalance this adverse effect, a modified objective function has been used. The reactive power generation rescheduling and reactive support from capacitors have been incorporated along with active power generation rescheduling to manage congestion as well as to improve the network voltage stability margin. The Random Inertia Weight Particle Swarm Optimization (RANDIW-PSO) algorithm has been employed in this paper to obtain optimized solutions. The proposed methodology is tested on the New-England test system for different realistic scenarios. The results confirm a noteworthy decline in congestion cost along with the improvement in network voltage stability margin. Moreover, system performance has been improved in terms of system power losses, increased reactive power reserve at generators and voltage profile.
