An improved optimal congestion cost model is built by introducing the congestion factor in dealing with the cases: opening the generator side and load side simultaneously. The problem of real-time congestion management is transformed to a nonlinear programming problem. While the transmission congestion is maximum, the adjustment cost is minimum based on the ant colony algorithm, and the global optimal solu- tion is obtained. Simulation results show that the improved optimal model can obviously reduce the adjust- ment cost and the designed algorithm is safe and easy to implement.

Introduction However, these traditional optimizations of transmission congestion mostly focused on the trend of the objective With the open of transmission network, the problem of function or as a percentage of the basic constraints to the transmission congestion becomes very serious under power introduction of the congest
