In restructured electricity markets, an effective transmission pricing method is required to address transmission issues and to generate correct economic signals. Transmission line constraints can result in variations in energy prices throughout the network. These prices depend on generator bids, load levels and transmission network limitations. A congestion charge is incurred when the system i...

In this paper, optimal tuning of the PID controller for solution of the Load frequency Control (LFC) problem in the restructured power system is proposed using Honey Bee Mating Optimization (HBMO) technique. The problem of robustly tuning of PID based LFC design is formulated as an optimization problem according to the time domain-based objective function which is solved by the HBMO technique t...

in today’s restructured environment, congestion management plays an essential role in power system operation. different methods are presented and discussed in this respect for congestion management in short-term and long-term intervals. it is attempted in the present paper to investigate the impact mechanism of facts devices and demand response programs together with generation re-dispatch as s...

In the recent restructured power system scenario and complex market strategy, operation at absolute minimum cost is no longer the only criterion for dispatching electric power. The economic load dispatch (ELD) problem which accounts for minimization of both generations cost and power loss is itself a multiple conflicting objective function problem. In this paper, a modified shuffled frog-leapin...

The need for estimation of Available transfer Capability (ATC) is very much important in deregulated power system environment as correct estimation of ATC yields economically efficient operation of the restructured power system. This paper presents formulation of a set of AC distribution factors for Static ATC determination and assesses the security of the power system to reliably transfer bulk...

facts technology has considerable applications in power systems, such as; improving the steady stateperformance, damping the power system oscillations, controlling the power flow, and etc. statcom is oneof the most important facts devices used in the parallel compensation, enhancing transient stability andetc. since three phase fault is widespread in power systems, in this paper statcom is used...

Standard sparsity-based algorithms used in power system applications need to be restructured for efficient vectorization due to the extremely short vectors processed. Further, intrinsic architectural features of vector computers such as chaining and sectioning should also be exploited for utmost performance. This paper presents novel data storage schemes and vectorization algorithms that resolv...

Market power, defined as the ability to raise prices above competitive levels profitably, continues be a prime concern in restructured electricity markets. power must mitigated improve market performance and avoid inefficient generation investment, price volatility, overpayment systems. For this reason, involving transmission expansion planning (TEP) problem is essential for ensuring efficient ...

This paper examines the 'fetishism of numbers' (Gudeman, 1998, p.1) that has taken hold in restructured, market-oriented institutions higher education. As all areas academic life have been rendered down to quantifiable, and university environments become dominated by rituals counting, numbers imbued with a potency almost preternatural proportions. The points comparison between power ascribed nu...
