Transmission congestion not only increases the operation risk, but also reduces the operation efficiency of power systems. Applying a quasi-dynamic thermal rating (QDR) to the transmission congestion alarm system can effectively alleviate transmission congestion. In this paper, according to the heat balance equation under the IEEE standard, a calculation method of QDR is proposed based on the threshold of meteorological parameters under 95% confidence level, which is determined by statistical analysis of seven-year meteorological data in Weihai, China. The QDR of transmission lines is calculated at different time scales. A transmission congestion management model based on QDR is established, and the transmission congestion alarm system including conductor temperature judgment is proposed. The case shows that transmission congestion management based on QDR is feasible, which improves the service life and operation flexibility of the power grid in emergencies and avoids power supply shortages caused by unnecessary trip protection.

-Transmission congestion results from the contingencies in the power system and increasing load demand that has to be supplied through predetermined corridors in case of restructured environment. The Flexible AC Transmission Systems (FACTS) devices when deployed in a power system can result in improving the system performance in terms increased loading capability of transmission lines, reduction in losses, improved stability and security of the system by relieving stress on congested lines. This work deals with congestion management of the power transmission network by employing FACTS devices, with the help of Genetic Algorithm (GA) based optimization algorithm. Optimal location of FACTS placement and optimal parameter settings of these devices are the objectives for the optimization problem. The optimization process aims at maximizing the loading capability by the network by transferring power from overloaded lines to adjacent lightly loaded lines. FACTS devices considered are TCSC, SVC and UPFC for the alleviation of the overload on transmission lines and to reduce overall transmission loss of the system. An IEEE 30-bus system is used to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.


Congestion is severe problem that affects the power system security as it violates the various operating limits of the power system so congestion management is an important task for independent system operator. For managing congestion, smart wire module has been used in series with transmission line. When smart wire is connected in series with most congested line, there is improvement in voltage profile, reduction in transmission line loading and losses. Transmission Congestion Distribution Factor (TCDF) is calculated to know congestion in lines and congestion is managed with the help of smart wire module. It is observed that value of TCDF also reduced when smart wire is connected. Work has been carried out on IEEE 15 bus system on MATLAB.

Congestion management refers to avoiding or relieving congestion. In transmission lines, congestion management is one of the most important issues for the reliable operation of power system in the deregulated environment. Restructuring has brought considerable changes in all possible domains including electric supply industry. By virtue of restructuring, electricity has now become a commodity and has converted into a deregulated one. The traditional regulated power system has now become a competitive power market. In the present scenario, the real time transmission congestion is the operating condition in which the transfer capability to implement all the traded transactions simultaneously is not enough due to either some expected contingencies or market settlement. Thus, congestion is associated with one or more violations of the physical, operational, and policy constraints under which grids operate. Thus, congestion management is about managing the power transmission and distribution among valuable consumers priority-wise. Placement of FACTS (Flexible Alternating Current Transmission System) devices for generation rescheduling and load-shedding play a crucial role in congestion management. FACTS devices are used to enhance the maximum load ability of the transmission system. FACTS increases the flexibility of power system, makes it more controllable, and allows utilization of existing network closer to its thermal loading capacity without jeopardizing the stability. FACTS technology can boost the transfer capability in stability limited systems by 20–30%. As a result, more power can reach consumers with a shorter project implementation time and a lower investment cost. This review work unites the various publications on congestion management in past few decades.

Congestion management is one of the important functions performed by system operator in deregulated electricity market to ensure secure operation of transmission system. This paper proposes two effective methods for transmission congestion alleviation in deregulated power system. Congestion or overload in transmission networks is alleviated by rescheduling of generators and/or load shedding. The two objectives conflicting in nature (1) transmission line over load and (2) congestion cost are optimized in this paper. The multiobjective fuzzy evolutionary programming (FEP) and nondominated sorting genetic algorithm II methods are used to solve this problem. FEP uses the combined advantages of fuzzy and evolutionary programming (EP) techniques and gives better unique solution satisfying both objectives, whereas nondominated sorting genetic algorithm (NSGA) II gives a set of Pareto-optimal solutions. The methods propose an efficient and reliable algorithm for line overload alleviation due to critical line outages in a deregulated power markets. The quality and usefulness of the algorithm is tested on IEEE 30 bus system.

The organization of operation, maintenance and repair of the basic technological facilities of electric power systems (EPS), which are beyond their designed service life (hereinafter referred to as ageing facilities, or AFs) is one of the problems that determine the energy security of many countries, including economically developed nations. The principal cause of insufficient overall performance of AFs is the traditional focus of the EPS management on economic efficiency and the insufficient attention to reliability and safety of AFs. The tendency to nonlinear growth in the frequency of occurrence of unacceptable consequences in the EPS requires ensuring the operational reliability and safety of AFs. The averaged estimates of reliability and safety used at designing power facilities are not suitable for characterization of overall operational performance. Among the basic and the least investigated (in terms of operational reliability and safety) EPS facilities are overhead power transmission lines (OPL) with a voltage of 110 кV and above. This is for a reason. OPL are electric power facilities with elements distributed along a multi-kilometer line (supports, insulators, wires, accessories, etc.). That is what makes the organization of continuous monitoring of the technical condition of each of these elements, and, consequently, the assessment of operational reliability and safety, so problematic. A method is suggested for assessment of “weak links” among the operated OPL on operative intervals of time along with a method for assessment of the technical condition of OPL at examination of a representative sample.

This paper investigates a mathematical model of one elements of the power supply system - power transmission lines. The type of models depends on the initial simplifications, which in turn are determined by the complexity of the physics of processes. The task of improving the accuracy of modeling of emergency processes in the power system is due to the significant complexity of modern power systems and their equipment, high-speed relay protection, automation of emergency management and the introduction of higher-speed switching equipment. One of the reasons for a significant number of serious emergencies in the system is the lack of complete and reliable information for modeling modes in the design and operation of power systems. The development of a mathematical model of a three-phase power line, which provides adequate reflection of both normal and emergency processes, is relevant. The advanced mathematical model of power transmission lines allows to investigate various operational modes of electric networks. The improved mathematical model of the power transmission line reflects all the features of physical processes at state modes and transient process and provides sufficient accuracy of the results. The type of mathematical model of power transmission lines depends on the accepted simplifications, depending on the task of research.

Single of phasor measurement unit (PMU) in smart grid is analyzed. On the power transmission links, single of voltage and current are measured by kinds of PMUs, messages of PMUs are concentrated to PDC (Phasor data concentrator) and super PDC in power systems. Signal quality is important to power transmission, power utilization and power control for stability a power system. Harmonics, inter-harmonics, decaying DC (direct current) offset, and additive white Gaussian noise are analyzed. Odd-number harmonics and inter-harmonics affect the quality of power signals. Decaying DC offsert components influence current signal of power transmission line whose model is modeled by EMTP (Electromagnetic transient program) worldwide. Noise is generally a negligible factor on power transmission lines, since signal-to-noise (SNR) is always below 40 dB.
