LMP difference approach for management of transmission congestion

Abstract

This paper deals with new methodology for optimal placement of Distributed Generator (DG) to improve congestion in the transmission system. The proposed approach is based on LMP and LMP difference method to formulate priority list of buses. Based on priority list congested zones are formed and Distributed Generators are placed at potential location to analyze the status of the system. Loading condition is also studied. In this work, the simulation studies on IEEE 14 bus system is found to be competent to find the best location of DG for management of transmission system congestion.
