Economics of available alternatives in the transmission planning are evaluated by the investment cost, loss cost and congestion cost. Congestion/loss cost is calculated in many years and many load levels by unit commitment of generators, optimal dispatch, load flow, judgement about transmission congestion and re-dispatch to reduce the congestion. The greatest difficulties to introduce variable optimization techniques on the transmission planning is the convergence of load flow. In this paper, economics in the transmission planning are evaluated using DC load flow, and case study is conducted on the Korea power system by proposed congestion/loss calculation methods.

It is expected that there will be delay of scheduled transmission network reinforcement and huge investment of renewable energy resources in Korea. As transmission capacity expansion delayed, supplying power to Seoul metropolitan area will not be increased as scheduled. In addition, uncertain renewable energy out of Seoul metropolitan area can cause transmission congestion in the future power system. These two combining effects will make the difference in locational marginal prices(LMP) and congestion costs increase. In that sense, this paper will analyze how much the congestion costs for Korea power system are incurred in the future power system. Most of previous approaches to analyze the congestion costs for electric power system are based on the optimal power flow model which cannot deal with hourly variation of power system. However, this study attempted to perform the analysis using market simulation model(M-Core) which has the capability of analyzing the hourly power generation cost and power transmission capacity, and market prices by region. As a result, we can estimate the congestion costs of future power system considering the uncertainty of renewable energy and transmission capacity.

Congestion management is one of the most challenging tasks of a system operator to ensure the operation of transmission system within operating limits. In this paper, cluster/zone method and relative electrical distance (RED) method for congestion management are compared based on the considered parameters. In the cluster/zone method, rescheduling of generation is based on user impact on congestion through the use of transmission congestion distribution factors. In the RED method, the desired proportions of generations for the desired overload relieving are obtained. Even after generation rescheduling, if congestion exists, load curtailment option is also introduced. Rescheduling cost, system cost, losses, and voltage stability parameter are also calculated and compared for the above two methods of congestion management. The results are illustrated on sample 6-bus, IEEE 30-bus, and Indian utility 69-bus systems.

As competition is introduced in the electricity supply industry, congestion becomes a more important issue. Congestion in a transmission network occurs due to an operating condition that causes limit violations on the transmission capacities. Congestion leads to inefficient use of the system, or causes additional costs (Congestion cost). One way to reduce this inefficiency or congestion cost is to control the transmission flow through the installation of UPFC (Unified Power Flow Controller). This paper also deals with an optimal siting of the UPFC for reducing congestion cost by using shadow prices. A performance index for an optimal siting is defined as a combination of line flow sensitivities and shadow prices. The proposed algorithm is applied to the sample system with a condition, which is concerning the quadratic cost functions. Test results show that the siting of the UPFC is optimal to minimize the congestion cost by the proposed algorithm.

As a competition is introduced in the electricity supply industry, a congestion problem arises in the transmission network. The congestion causes the transmission cost to increase. One way to decrease the congestion cost is to control the transmission flow through the installation of FACTS(Flexible AC Transmission system).

Test results show that the site of the FACTS(UPFC) is optimal to minimize the congestion cost by the proposed algorithm.

Recently the power system consists of the more complicated structure, due to increase of power demands. In this circumstance, the congestion and loss capacity in transmission line is also increased. Accordingly, the investment planning of transmission system is required to reduce the congestion and loss of the transmission line. In study of the planning of domestic and international transmission expansion, the reliability of transmission planning and minimizing Investment cost is focused. However, the study has not been performed systematically in economic aspects. Typically, the congestion and loss costs have been individually calculated. It is not consider the mutual relationship between the congestion cost and the loss cost. This paper proposes a method to compute concurrently the congestion and loss costs. This purpose is to calculate the more exact value for economic assessment of the power system operation.

TCP(Transmission Control Protocol)는 혼잡한 상황에서 혼잡 제어를 수행하므로 신뢰성 있는 전송을 할 수 있지만 혼잡 회피(Congestion avoidance) 과정에서 혼잡으로 인한 패킷 드롭이 일어날 때까지 혼잡 윈도우의 크기를 증가시키므로 패킷 손실이 증가할 수도 있다. 본 논문에서는 상기 문제점을 해결하기 위하여 RTT(Round Trip Time)를 이용한 새로운 혼잡 예측 TCP 혼잡 제어 기법을 제안한다. 제안하는 기법은 과도한 패킷 누적으로 인한 버퍼 오버플로우가 발생하는 시점에서 RTT 값들의 가중평균값인 SRTT(Smooth RTT)값을 측정한 후 패킷 전송 시에 같은 SRTT값을 가질 때를 혼잡한 상황이라 예측하여 혼잡 윈도우를 감소시키는 알고리즘이다. 시뮬레이션 결과를 통하여, 제안하는 기법이 무선 구간에 의한 패킷 손실보다는 버퍼 오버플로우에 의한 패킷 손실이 클 경우에 패킷 손실률과 처리량 측면에서 좋은 성능을 가지는 것을 확인할 수 있었다.

최근 인터넷의 발전으로 디지털 오디오 및 비디오와 같은 멀티미디어 스트림에 대한 요구가 증가하고 있다. 이러한 멀티미디어 스트리밍을 UDP로 전송할 경우 TCP와 같은 혼잡제어를 수행하지 않기 때문에 동일한 전송경로의 TCP 트래픽 궁핍을 일으켜 혼잡붕괴 및 막대한 전송지연을 초래한다. 이러한 문제점으로 인하여 실시간 멀티미디어 스트림의 전송지연과 혼잡제어를 위한 새로운 전송기법과 프로토콜에 대한 다각적인 연구가 수행되고 있다. TCP 친화적 혼잡제어 기법은 크게 일반적인 혼잡윈도우 관리기능을 이용하는 윈도우 기반 혼잡제어와 TCP 모델링 방정식 등을 이용하여 전송율을 직접 조절하는 율 기반 혼잡제어로 나눌 수 있다. 본 논문은 윈도우 기반과 율 기반을 복합적으로 다룬 하이브리드형 TCP-friendly 혼잡제어 기법에서 Square-root 혼잡회피 알고리즘을 제안하였으며, NS를 사용하여 제안한 TEAR의 성능을 실험하였다. 실험을 통하여 제안한 기법의 적용으로 TEAR의 안정성을 개선할 수 있음을 보였다.

Today, as the power trades between generation companies and power customer are liberalized, the uncertainty level of operated power system is rapidly increased. Therefore, transmission operators as decision makers for transmission expansion are required to establish a deliberate investment plan for effective operations of transmission facilities considering forecasted conditions of power system. This paper proposes the methodology for the optimal solution of transmission expansion in deregulated power system. The paper obtains the expected value of transmission congestion cost for various scenarios by using occurrence probability. In addition, the paper assumes that increasing rates of loads are the probability distribution and indicates the location of expanded transmission line, the time for transmission expansion with the minimum cost for the future by performing the Montecarlo simulation. To minimize the investment risk as the variance of the congestion cost, Mean-Variance Markowitz portfolio theory is applied to the optimization model by the penalty factor of the variance. By the case study, the optimal solution for transmission expansion plan considering the feature of market participants is obtained.
