Abstract


This paper proposes a method to compute load curtailment evaluation using ACSA based optimal power flow incorporating voltage stability margin criterion. . In a deregulated environment, congestion alleviation could mean load curtailment in certain situations.  The utilities would definitely prefer to curtail a load as lower as possible during a viability crisis situation. A criterion based on the voltage stability indicator is them incorporated as an additional constraint into the optimal power flow using ACSA algorithm and it is evaluated in a WSCC 9-bus test system.
