Congestion management using generation rescheduling and/or load shedding of sensitive buses

This paper presents a sensitivity based congestion management technique based on generation rescheduling and/or load shedding. A sensitivity index which relates the change in line current with respect to change in bus injections is developed to select the participating generators and/or loads. Proposed technique is simulated on IEEE 30 and 118 bus test systems and its effectiveness is illustrated.
