Abstract
In this paper the sub-problems associated with the economical operation of a power system can be reduced. But the electrical marketing of a system is so complicated. The congestion management is the recent problem facing today much in order to provide cons tant supply of power to the consumers in an reliable manner. So we are trying to remove the congestion in the transmission line by means of generation rescheduling with the cost involved in the rescheduling process will be minimized. In this paper the adaptive bacterial foraging algorithm with Nelder Mead is used for optimizing the congestion cost. The outputs and results are compared with the optimization techniques like genetic algorithm (GA), Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) and simple bacterial foraging algorithm. The numerical expression for representing the performance of the optimization techniques are done by means of six generating units having standard IEEE 30 bus system. This technique can be reformulated in future for...

Comparative Analysis of Bacterial Foraging Optimization Algorithm and Evolutionary Programming for Load Shedding in Power System
International Journal of Simulation: Systems, Science & Technology, 2016
This paper presents a comparative analysis of Bacterial Foraging Optimization Algorithm (BFOA) and Evolutionary Programming (EP) in determining the locations and amount of load to be shed in power systems for optimal load shedding. Load shedding is done by removing a certain amount of loads at appointed locations of a bus system. By doing so, the stability of the system can be improved, as well as the total power losses. The objective functions of total power losses and voltage stability index values are used in determining the optimal load shedding in that particular system. In this research, the technique is implemented into IEEE 30-bus bus system. Simulations of BFAO proved that a better result can be obtained than EP when compared to the base case values of total power losses and voltage stability index values of that particular bus system. Results obtained from BFOA are also compared with Evolutionary Programing to determine the performance.

A novel symbiotic organisms search algorithm for congestion management in deregulated environment
In today’s competitive electricity market, managing transmission congestion in deregulated power system has created challenges for independent system operators to operate the transmission lines reliably within the limits. This paper proposes a new meta-heuristic algorithm, called as symbiotic organisms search (SOS) algorithm, for congestion management (CM) problem in pool-based electricity market by real power rescheduling of generators. Inspired by interactions among organisms in ecosystem, SOS algorithm is a recent population-based algorithm which does not require any algorithm specific control parameters unlike other algorithms. Various security constraints such as load bus voltage and line loading are taken into account while dealing with the CM problem. In this paper, the proposed SOS algorithm is applied on modified IEEE 30- and 57-bus test power system for the solution of CM problem. The results, thus, obtained are compared to those reported in the recent state-of-the-art literature. The efficacy of the proposed SOS algorithm for obtaining the higher quality solution is also established.

AIP Conference Proceedings, 2021
In the deregulated environment, the transmission grids are used optimally. This utilization of the transmission system makes some lines congested due to the capacity constraints of the line. Congestion becomes a barrier of power trading and it affects the security of the power system. Congestion Management (CM) acts as a major issue that threatens the system security and it is a most difficult task for the system operators. This paper tries to introduce a novel optimization based CM model with advanced soft computing technique. An algorithm is introduced in this paper to deal with CM, which obviously optimize the generating power of added generators with the bus system. This manages the congestion with minimum rescheduling cost. The proposed optimization algorithm termed as Whale Optimization algorithm (WOA) involves in the management of congestion optimally. Subsequently, the experimentation is performed in the test bus system of 118 bus systems. The effectiveness of proposed model is compared with the conventional methods, with respect to cost and convergence.

Many of these algorithms are inspired by various phenomena of nature. One of the promising solutions for secure and continuous power flow in the transmission line is rescheduling-based congestion management approach, but the base problem is rescheduling cost. To solve the congestion with minimized rescheduling cost, a new population-based algorithm, the Lion Algorithm (LA), is introduced in this paper. The basic motivation for development of this optimization algorithm is based on special lifestyle of lions and their cooperation characteristics. Based on some benchmark, Lion Algorithm (LA) is compared with the existing conventional algorithms such as particle swarm optimization (PSO), genetic algorithm (GA), artificial bee colony (ABC) and firefly (FF) by analysing the convergence, cost and congestion. In IEEE 30 bus system, experimental investigation is carried out and the obtained results by the proposed algorithm Lion Algorithm (LA) in comparison with the other algorithms used in this paper.

Effective Transmission Congestion Management via Optimal DG Capacity Using Hybrid Swarm Optimization for Contemporary Power System Operations
IEEE Access
Managing transmission congestion had been a major problem with growing competition in the power networks. Accordingly, competitiveness emerges through the network's reconfiguration and the proliferation of secondary facilities. Congestion of transmission lines is a critical issue, and their regulation poses a technical challenge as the power system is deregulated. Therefore, the present research illustrates a multi-objective strategy for reaching the optimal capabilities of distributed generators (DG) like wind power plants and geothermal power-producing plants to alleviate congestion throughout the transmission network. Goals such as congestion management during power delivery, power loss reduction, power flow improvement with the enhancement of voltage profile, and investment expenditure minimization are considered to boost the network's technological and economic reliability. The congestion management is achieved using the locational marginal price (LMP) and calculation of transmission congestion cost (TCC) for the optimal location of DG. After identification of congested lines, DG is optimally sized by particle swarm optimization (PSO) and a newly proposed technique that combines the features of modified IL-SHADE and PSO called hybrid swarm optimization (HSO) which employs linear population size reduction technique which improves its performance greatly by reducing the population size by elimination of least fit individuals at every generation giving far better results than those obtained with PSO. In addition, optimal rescheduling of generations from generators has been done to fulfill the load demand resulting in alleviation of congested lines thereby enhancing the performance of the network under investigation. Furthermore, the performance of the proposed methodology of HSO and PSO has been tested successfully on standard benchmark IEEE-30 & IEEE-57 bus configurations in a MATLAB environment with the application of MATPOWER power system package.

Optimal Rescheduling of Real and Reactive Power for Congestion Management under Competitive Environment
— In the competitive power market, congestion in the transmission line has grown as a serious problem which threats the power system security and reliability. Congested condition leads to the increased congestion cost and it is not wise to allow the situation to persist.
