Abstract

The safe and secure operation of power system networks remains a significant challenge due to the ever-increasing demand for electrical energy. In deregulated environments, there is a strong emphasis on the optimal and efficient utilization of existing resources. This work aims to address line congestion by optimally re-dispatching generation resources and proactively managing demand through advanced demand response (DR) programs. An elasticity based, multi-period load model is employed to enhance the realism and effectiveness of DR strategies. The novelty of the proposed work is the holistic approach that simultaneously addresses economic, environmental, and technical objectives, incorporating realistic DR behavior and the advanced modified elephant herding optimization (MEHO) technique. This work proposes a MEHO algorithm for multi-objective congestion management with coordinated generation and DR programs, with comparative analysis against MPSO on both IEEE 30-bus and IEEE 118-bus systems. The MEHO algorithm generates seven unique Pareto-optimal solutions that represent various trade-offs between the conflicting objectives, demonstrating the implementation's remarkable performance on the IEEE 30-bus and IEEE 118-bus test system. MEHO achieves 3.5 to 6.2% better cost solutions, 2.3 to 5.2% lower emissions, and 60 to 62.5% better congestion indices across both test systems.
