Comprehensive day-ahead congestion management based on the dynamic tariff, network reconfiguration, and reprofiling product

Chapter 5 proposes a comprehensive day-ahead congestion management scheme for distribution networks. In the proposed scheme, the dynamic tariff (DT) and network reconfiguration are combined in the first step to resolve part of the congestion, and reprofiling products are used in the second step to resolve the remaining congestion. In the first step, the relaxed reconfiguration-based DT model is formulated, which can handle the possible infeasibility issue of the DT problem and set a limit for the DT. In the second step, a market agent model is formulated to determine the procurement of flexibility products. The simulation results validated that the proposed comprehensive scheme can resolve congestion more effectively and at the same time ensure that congestion management prices are within a preset level.
