Rescheduling of real power for congestion management using Cuckoo Search Algorithm

This paper proposes a novel congestion management strategy by generator rescheduling in a deregulated electricity market. With growing electricity demands, power system is reaching towards its security limits where transmission lines play one of the vital rules in the system. Occurrence of transmission congestion can be avoided by one of the renowned technique i.e.; generator rescheduling technique. In this paper, Generator Sensitivity factor (GSF) is identified to select few generators to participate in congestion management problem. Next Cuckoo Search Algorithm (CSA) is used to minimize the rescheduling cost of generators. Present work is tested on IEEE 39 Bus New England Test System.
