Abstract

With appearance of deregulated electricity markets, line congestions in transmission systems is considered as critical problem for power system which may prevent dispatching all of the contracted power transactions. Many studies have been carried out to express techniques for congestion management (CM). In this paper real and reactive power rescheduling of generators approach is utilized. This method includes two steps. First one is optimum selection of generators on the basis of sensitivities of generator to power flow on congested line/lines. Next step is optimal rescheduling of generators and identification of capacitors required to provide real and reactive power support for CM. Optimization process in this paper is carried out using big bang-big crunch (BB-BC) algorithm which is improved by particle swarm optimization (PSO) method as hybrid BB-BC (HBB-BC) optimization for the first time. Effectiveness of proposed method has been tested on IEEE 30-bus system, the 39-bus New England system, and 75-bus Indian system and compared with the other proposed methodologies.
