Transmission congestion management using particle swarm optimization

الملخص EN

This paper proposes an algorithm for congestion management (CM) in a pool based electricity market based on particle swarm optimization (PSO).The proposed approach effectively relieves line o-overloads with minimum deviations in generations from initial market settlement.

Security) constraints such as line loading and load bus voltages are effectively handled in the optimization problem using Penalty approach.

Numerical results on two test systems namely modified IEEE 30 Bus and IEEE 57 Bus Systems are presented for illustration purpose and the results are compared with Simulated Annealing (SA) and Random Search Method (RSM) method in terms of solution quality.

The experimental results prove that the PSO is one among the challenging optimization methods, which is indeed capable of obtaining higher quality solutions for the, proposed congestion management problem.
