This paper presents a multi-year scenario-based methodology for transmission expansion planning (TEP) in order to enhance the available transfer capability (ATC). The ATC is an important factor for all players of electricity market who participate in power transaction activities and can support the competition and nondiscriminatory access to transmission lines among all market participants. The...

The loads and wheeling transactions are varying very rapidly in the deregulated power market. Hence the power producers must respond quickly to those changes without affecting the system security and stability. This paper presents an application of Fitness Distance Ratio Particle Swarm Optimization (FDR PSO) algorithm to determine the optimal generation dispatch of power producers with dynamic ...

Rapid industrial development and innovations in technology bring about the menace of congestion deregulated power systems (DPS). The transmission lines are continuously working under a stressed condition with reduced transfer capacity. In this situation, losses voltage deviations at load buses increased hence reduce system stability. To mitigate congestion, improving available capability (ATC) ...
