Congestion Management in Deregulated Power System - A Review

Vora Animesh J

Abstract: Congestion in the transmission lines is one of the most important issues for secure and reliable power system operations that appear in the deregulated environment. The congestion occurs when the total load of electric power causes the transmission system to operate beyond maximum transfer limits. To relieve congestion in transmission lines; there are two types of congestion management methodologies. One is cost-free methods and another is non-cost free methods; among them first method relieves the congestion technically whereas the other related more with the economics. In this paper; different cost-free methodologies were used to manage the congestion in the transmission network.
