A novel hybrid algorithm for rescheduling-based congestion management scheme in power system

摘要

Secure and continuous power flow in the transmission line is one of the critical issues that must be rectified. In fact, rescheduling-based congestion management is considered to be one of the promising solutions for this aspect. Still, the model faces issues on the basis of rescheduling costs. More research works have been addressed so far to solve the problems of congestion management. Optimization algorithms also play a vital role in solving this problem. Under this scenario, this paper introduces a new rescheduling-based congestion management model that incorporates a new algorithm, refractor update-based ROA (RU-ROA) that optimizes the generating power of added generators with the bus system. The proposed RU-ROA algorithm is the hybridization of two algorithms, namely rider optimization algorithm (ROA) and water wave optimization (WWO), that aims to manage the congestion with the reduced cost of rescheduling. Further, the proposed model compares its performance over other conventional models like particle swarm optimization, FireFly, grey wolf optimization, traditional ROA and traditional WWO-based rescheduling strategy with respect to cost analysis and convergence analysis, and proves the efficiency of proposed work over others.
