Abstract

Power systems in a deregulated environment have more intense and recurrent transmission line congestion than conventionally regulated power systems. With the help of generation rescheduling, this article shows how to effectively manage congestion in the day-ahead energy market by taking corrective measures to reduce congestion. The research employs an adaptive restarting genetic algorithm (ARGA) to provide an effective congestion management strategy in a deregulated power market (DPM). The study makes two significant contributions. First, the generator sensitivity factors (GSF) are calculated to choose re-dispatched generators. Second, the least congestion cost is calculated using the adaptive restarting genetic algorithm. Several different line outage contingency cases on IEEE 30 bus systems are used to examine the suggested algorithm’s implementation efficacy. The simulation results demonstrate a significant reduction in net congestion costs, resulting in a more reliable and secure power system operation. The proposed algorithm was tested in a python environment, and power flow analysis was done using the PANDAPOWER tool. The acquired results are contrasted using several contemporary optimization approaches to validate the suggested technique’s validity. The ARGA technique gives a lower congestion cost solution than the particle swarm optimization (PSO), real coded genetic algorithm (RCGA), and differential evolution (DE) algorithm.
