Series Smart Wire—Managing Load and Congestion in Transmission Line

Nowadays, congestion management is a major problem in power system deregulation. With the continuous increase in load demand, there is continuous requirement for different new technologies resulting in advanced network operation. This paper presents a solution for congestion management by developing a series smart wire module which operates with the increment in load. The circuitry is bypassed if it does not detects congestion in line else with the detection of congestion series smart wire module is operated. This method improves the reliability of the system by reducing active power losses. The effectiveness of this module is demonstrated in standard IEEE 15 bus system model using MATLAB/Simulink and the results are formulated with graphical representations.
