A Bald Eagle Search Optimization Approach for Congestion Alleviation in Power System Transmission Channels

In the deregulated power system framework, congestion on transmission lines has become a significant concern. This study presents a congestion management strategy that focuses on efficiently adjusting the power output of generators. To determine the most effective generator for rescheduling, the generator sensitivity factor is used. The Bald Eagle Search (BES) optimization technique is employed to optimize the rescheduling of real power delivery from the generators, aiming to minimize congestion costs. The performance of this approach is analyzed using 39-bus New England test framework. A comparison with recent algorithms reveals that BES effectively minimizes congestion costs when contrasted to alternative optimization methods. Additionally, this approach improves the system voltage profile with reduction in the system losses thereby enhancing overall system stability.
