Electricity Congestion Management

Abstract

In the current scenario, rapid change in power system; drastic change in generation, transmission and distribution system, power system restructuring and other factor effect on loading on existing network. Ideally transmission network can transfer in finite amount of power to the source to demand. But as the transmission network have loading capacity limit and above that limit it is not advisable to operate. Because of this reason congestion need to be managed. By congestion management this over- loaded power can be rerouted using management technique in the existing network like Strengthening of existing network, New lines to reenforce, FACTS devices, PST or HVDC. The PG project is to focus on congestion management for Gujarat net- work or for a small area, based on available information of system using appropriate software tools/codes. As a part of development process, the specific area of work can be enlisted as below: Study congestion and congestion management technique. Study of Gujarat network or for a small part of network. Congestion pocket finding in the taken network. Congestion management techniques to be applied. Study of network and impacts over network for applied technique.
