Popis: Congestion management plays an important role in the operation, control, and safety of the grid. This paper proposes the multiverse optimization (MVO) algorithm for the congestion management of the IEEE 30 bus system, aiming to identify line congestion, and eliminate it at the minimum congestion price (i.e., the minimum loss). The continuation power flow (CPF) mechanism is adopted to analyze the voltage stability and maximum load capacity of the grid. The MVO algorithm helps to boost the voltage with a photovoltaic (PV) device, whenever the grid became unstable. The optimal position of the device is found through six iterations, and the fitness function is found capable of maximizing loading parameters, while minimizing power loss. The new approach is evaluated under different operating conditions, namely, in the presence of an MVO-tuned PV grid, and in the absence of a PV grid. The results show that the MVO-tuned PV grid performed much better than the grid without a PV.
