To ensure the stable operation of the system, a congestion free power network is desirable. In this paper, a new Congestion Management (CM) technique, the Wind integrated Compressed Air Energy Storage (WCAES) system is used to alleviate transmission congestion and to minimize congestion mitigation cost. The CM problem has been solved by using the Generator Sensitivity Factor (GSF) and the Bus Sensitivity Factor (BSF). BSF is used for finding the optimal location of WCAES in the system. GSF with a Moth Flame Optimization (MFO) algorithm is used for rescheduling the generators to alleviate congestion and to minimize congestion cost by improving security margin. The impact of the WCAES system is tested with a 39 bus system. To validate this approach, the same problem has been solved with a Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) algorithm and the obtained results are compared with the ones from the MFO algorithm.

INTRODUCTION Line congestion, especially in a deregulated environment, is one of the most important issues for system operators. A permissible range of power security margin to maintain the system’s security network is the necessity. Within fixed thermal limits of transmission lines, thermal generators are rescheduled for congestion alleviation [1]. Recently, requisite amount of works are in process to minimize the congestion in deregulated power market. In [2-4], congestion mitigation techniques are discussed with the integration of Flexible AC Transmission System (FACTS) devices. For diminution of congestion, series FACTS devices are used for enhancement of voltage and transient stability of the system. The generator rescheduling approach is one of the most important techniques in CM problem. Active power rescheduling is done for congestion mitigation by using the relative electrical distance (RED) approach [5]. Reactive power is also important for congestion mitigation. Real and reactive power rescheduling approach has been used for CM in [6]. In deregulated electricity market, market flow strategy concepts are often used for congestion management [7-9]. Utilization of wind sources is one of the fastest growing renewable energy sectors in the world. So, it is a priori requirement to analyze the impact of wind energy sources in power system security enhancement. A wind integrated congestion management approach is discussed in [10-11]. Due to the unpredictable nature of wind power, storage devices are essential in the power system security field. The optimal placement of energy storage units to maximize the hourly social welfare in deregulated power system is investigated in [12]. Compressed Air Energy Storage (CAES) system is an important storage technology for storing electricity in modern power system. CAES provides the flexibility of the unpredictable power suppliers by reducing their energy deviations penalties over the entire scheduling period in a deregulated power market [13-14]. In this paper, wind power with CAES has been implemented to mitigate congestion and optimize generator rescheduling cost. CAES is mainly used to deal with the uncertainty of the wind power. The sensitivity of the busses towards congestion is calculated using BSF. Optimal location for WCAES is based on BSF only. Implantation of WCAES checks system violation and reduces system active power rescheduling cost. MFO algorithm and GSF is used to reschedule the generator for mitigating congestion. A 39 bus New England test system is used for validating the proposed method. II. WIND INTEGRATED COMPRESSED AIR ENERGY STORAGE (WCAES) The main purpose of using CAES with wind farms (WF) is to supply constant power to the grid. Surplus wind power generated (more than contract wind power generation) is stored in the CAES. On the other side, when there is a deficit of contract wind power, the CAES generates the required amount of power of the contract power. Natural gas is used in CAES. Excess WF power generation is used to compress natural air and accumulate in storage device. When there is a shortage of wind power as per the contractual agreement, compressed air is expanded in a gas turbine, mixed with natural gas and generates the electricity. It is assumed that compression and expansion process takes place at steady state condition.

IMPLEMENTATION OF MOTH FLAME OPTIMIZATION (MFO) ALGORITHM Moth Flame Optimization (MFO) algorithm is a nature inspired meta-heuristic population based algorithm proposed in [16]. With the help of transverse orientation method, moth travels in night and maintains a specified angle with respect to moon. Single dimensional or two dimensional or three dimensional or hyper dimensional space vectors is utilized by moth for flying in nature [16]. The set of moths is represented by the following matrix: 1,1 1,2 1, 2,1 2,2 2, ,1 ,2 , ....... ....... .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. ....... n n m m m n                           (17) The fitness value of all moths is stored in following matrix: 1 2 .. .. fm fm fm fm m                      (18) Engineering, Technology & Applied Science Research Vol. 7, No. 4, 2017, 1746-1752 1748 www.etasr.com Gope et al.: Transmission Congestion Management using a Wind Integrated Compressed Air Energy … The fitness value of all flames is stored in following matrix: 1,1 1,2 1, 2,1 2,2 2, ,,1 ,2 ....... ....... .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. ....... fl fl fl n fl fl fl n fl fl fl fl m nm m                              (19) As shown in (17) and (19), the moths dimension and flames arrays are equal.

Moths travel around the search space to obtain the best position. With this technique, moths do not lose their best fitness solution in any circumstance [16]. A flow chart of the algorithm is shown in Figure 2. To obtain an optimal performance, parameters are set as such: moths number=30, flames number=30 and iterations number=300. Fig. 2. Implementing flow chart of MFO algorithm V. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION The proposed CM concept has been investigated on the 39 bus New England system. The 39 bus New England test system data has been taken from [11]. The actual and forecasts wind speed data are taken from [17]. Based on the wind speed data, wind power is calculated and shown in Figure 3. It is assumed, that a total 50 number of wind turbine generators are connected in the wind farm. It is also assumed that all the wind generation units are operating at the same speed. The investment cost of wind power generation is 3.75 $/hr [18]. Fig. 3 Actual, forecasted and contracted wind power The contracted WF power is shown in Figure 3, which is decided based on the forecasted WF power and the load pattern of the system. If there is any deficit on contracted wind power, then CAES storage will fill up that deficit and if there is any surplus of wind power, CAES will compensate that power. If CAES storage is unable to compensate the excess power, then dump load consumes that extra power to stabilize the system. The CAES minimum and maximum energy storage level is considered as 20 MWhr and 100 MWhr respectively. Initial energy level of CAES is assumed as 80 percent of its maximum energy level capaciy. The overall electrical conversion factor of CAES is considered as 70%. The conversion factor of compressor and conversion factor of turbine is assumed as 0.81% and 0.86% respectively. The load connected to each bus is assumed time varying and this is implemented by multiplying a load scaling factor (LSF) at each interval. Table I shows the LSF for a 24 hour scheduling period. TABLE I. LOAD SCALING FACTOR (LSF) FOR 24 HOUR Hour LSF Hour LSF Hour LSF 1 1 9 1.082 17 1.042 2 0.964 10 1.089 18 1.01 3 0.932 11 1.094 19 1 4 0.905 12 1.0965 20 1.042 5 0.865 13 1.0976 21 1.012 6 0.852 14 1.101 22 1.065 7 0.896 15 1.098 23 1.031 8 1 16 1.082 24 1 . The proposed congestion management technique is applied to minimize congestion cost, mitigate transmission congestion and improve the security margin. As per proposed approach, the contract wind power has changed in every hour as per the contractual agreement of the wind farm. Generator rescheduling takes the key role in congestion management problem. In the proposed congestion mitigation technique, line (14-34) outage is done for creating line violation in the system. The (15-16) line is congested due to the (14-34) line outage. So, generators need to be rescheduled based on the GSF to mitigate this congestion. Figure 4 shows the GSF without considering the WCAES system. Before connecting the WCAES system in the system, BSF is calculated and shown in Engineering, Technology & Applied Science Research Vol. 7, No. 4, 2017, 1746-1752 1749 www.etasr.com Gope et al.: Transmission Congestion Management using a Wind Integrated Compressed Air Energy … Figure 5. Based on the BSF, WCAES system is connected most sensitive bus i.e. bus number 14 in the test system. For connecting WCAES in the test system, BSF is calculated for a total scheduling period i.e. 24 hour in one hour interval and it is seen that each interval BSF is high in bus number 14. Practically it is not always correct that WCAES system has to be connected in the most sensitive bus. For practical implementation, we have to see the suitable location and sufficient space for WCAES system. If this condition is not satisfied in the most sensitive bus, then we can go for second highest sensitive bus and so on. After connecting the WCAES system, security limit is checked by system operator in the power system. It is seen that the 15-16 line is violated due to the 14-34 line outage. So, the violation has to be mitigated by using generator rescheduling approach. Fig. 4. Generator sensitivity factor without WCAES. Fig. 5. Bus sensitivity factor without WCAES For rescheduling the generators, GSF is calculated with integration of WCAES system and shown in Figure 6. Figure 7 shows the congested line (15-16) power flow with and without presence of WCAES system before rescheduling the generators. From Figure 4 and Figure 6, it is seen that the GSF value is less for each scheduling interval with the presence of WCAES system. Less GSF means, less amount power need to be rescheduled for minimizing the congestion. Table III and Table IV represent the amount of active power rescheduling in each interval for mitigating congestion without and with presence of WCAES system respectively. In each case, generators are rescheduled by using MFO algorithm with help of GSF. In the proposed method, the WCAES system plays a very important role for mitigating congestion and minimizing rescheduling cost. From Table III it is seen that total rescheduling amount using MFO algorithm for a 24 hour scheduling period without the presence of the WCAES system is 14567.59 MW, whereas from Table IV it is seen that total rescheduling amount using the MFO algorithm for the same period with the presence of WCAES system is 14125.34 MW. To show the effectiveness of the WCAES system, it is connected in the most sensitive bus and line violation has been calculated with and without the presence of the WCAES system (Table II). Table II shows the MVA flow (before and after rescheduling) for a 24 hour scheduling period with and without the presence of the WCAES system. From a technical point of view, less generation of a WCAES has been chosen in spite of the fact that a higher rating WCAES may produce a huge impact in the rescheduling process for congestion management. From Table II, it is seen that for most of the scheduling time the MVA flow is less with the WCAES system. To show the impact of the WCAES system, rescheduling cost is also calculated (Table V). In Table V, it is observed that 2nd to 7th hour intervals, congestion mitigation cost is zero because in that period there is no line violation. It is seen from Table I that load scaling factor is less in 2nd to 7th hour interval i.e. system load is less as compared to other interval in the scheduling period. From Table V, it is seen that rescheduling cost using MFO with line outage and without presence of the WCAES system is 13579.76 $/24hr, whereas rescheduling cost with line outage and with the presence of the WCAES system is 13248.43 $/24hr.

For analyzing this study, we are considering WCAES system supplies power mainly from wind farm. From Table V, it is seen that by using MFO, congestion cost reduced by 331.33$/24hr with the presence of the WCAES system compared to without the presence of the WCAES system in the scheduling period. From Table V, it is also seen that rescheduling cost using PSO with line outage and without presence of WCAES system is 13584.43 $/24hr, where as rescheduling cost with line outage and with the presence of the WCAES system is 13252.97 $/24hr, which is slightly higher than the MFO algorithm results. Table VI shows the losses and minimum voltage of the system. From Table VI, it is observed that system voltage is better and losses are less in presence of the WCAES system. Improved voltage profile indicates the better stability of the system after congestion management. Figure 8 shows the CAES operation for a 24 hour scheduling period.

CAES operational VI. CONCLUSION Congestion in transmission systems is a real life problem and a burning issue in power sector reliability. Misbalanced power generation and demand is the cause of congestion. To maintain the balanced system profile for a long run, alleviation of congestion is essential. The key element for the solution considered in this paper is the incorporation of WCAES. This helps to not only mitigate congestion but also to reduce congestion cost. The obtained results reflect the effective utilization of WCAES in the 39 bus New England test system. BSF is used for the optimal placement of WCAES in the most sensitive bus of the system. GSF with MFO algorithm in the presence of WCAES is implemented for generation rescheduling and to mitigate transmission congestion. Results obtained by the MFO algorithm are compared with ones obtained from applying the PSO algorithm and it is shown that the MFO algorithm gives slightly better results.

Less congestion cost and reduced line MVA flows are achieved. The proposed approach is economically feasible and easy to incorporate.
