Bat Algorithm for Congestion Alleviation in Power System Network

Congestion in power transmission lines is designated as one of the critical issues deregulated system scenario. The System Operator (SO) bears responsibility to manage congestion order ensure a secure and reliable operation framework. This article proposes Management (CM) strategy based on generator rescheduling approach using Bat Algorithm (BA). BA recent nature inspired optimization approaches echolocation adopted by bats search prey. In proposed CM scheme used minimize cost with optimal active output generators. participation generators accomplished considering sensitivity values. potency method tested 39-bus New England framework, IEEE 30 bus system, 118 comparative analysis established other approaches. outcomes obtained for outperforms achieved algorithms. ensures better convergence profile avoiding traps into local minima also aids SO efficiently.
