OPF Based CRM Using Supply Side andDemand Side Management

Abstract

Congestion Relief Management (CRM) plays a significant role in Power Systems Operation under deregulated environment. In the literature, only real Power constrains are considered, whereas in this reactive power as well as complex power constraints are also considered. In the proposed method, Optimal Power Flow (OPF) solution is also considered to obtain Congestion Relief Charge (CRC) in terms of Supply Side Management and Demand Side Management. Expressions are derived, algorithm is developed and software has been developed. The results are compared with a sample test system, with real, reactive, and complex powers.
