A Congestion Line Flow Control in Deregulated Power System

Abstract

Under open access, market-driven transactions have become the new independent decision variables defining the behavior of the power system. The possibility of transmission lines getting over-loaded is relatively more under deregulated operation because different parts of the system are owned by separate companies and in part operated under varying service charges. This paper discusses a two-tier algorithm for correcting the lone overloads in conjunction with the conventional power-flow methods. The method uses lineflow sensitivities, which are computed by the East Decoupled Power-flow algorithm and can be adapted for on-line implementation.
