MANAGING CONGESTION IN AN ELECTRICAL POWER TRANSMISSION NETWORK

摘要

The present invention is concerned with a method and system for managing congestion in an electrical transmission network. The electrical transmission network includes Power Flow Control Devices (PFDs) that adjust the transmission capability of the electrical transmission network. The method includes determination of a reference generation schedule followed by setting up of an objective function based on the reference generation schedule, a power flow in the electrical transmission network, bids for regulation, an actual generation schedule, and set points of PFDs. An optimisation problem is solved to minimize the objective function for a set of decision variables and the set of decision variables is applied in order to minimize congestion cost in the electrical transmission network.
