Abstract

In hybrid electricity markets, managing congestion is a crucial issue that impacts market efficiency, grid stability, and the integration ofrenewable energy sources. In orderto efficiently detect and manage crowded zones, this study suggests an enhanced congestion mitigation strategy by introducing the notion of Average Transmission Congestion Distribution Factor (ATCDF). In order to improve grid dependability, the research focuses on integrating Wind Power Generation (WPG) with Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) to optimize Available Transfer Capability (ATC). To increase the accuracy of power forecasts, a modified method for calculating wind farm power output is created that takes wake effects, wind direction, and speed into account. In order to improve ATC in emergency situations, the study also takes into account wind turbines’ reactive power capabilities. Through the strategic deployment of WPG and BESS, the suggested methodology facilitates effective congestion management, improving market operations, lowering transmission losses, and improving the power flow network. In order to maximize energy transactions while preserving grid stability and economic efficiency, grid operators, legislators, and market participants can benefit greatly from the research’s conclusions.

Keywords: Congestion management, hybrid electricity markets, available transfer capability (ATC), average transmission congestion distribution factor (ATCDF), wind power generation (WPG), battery energy storage systems (BESS)
