Abstract Power system is facing new challenges and opportunities in the environment of the
internet of things. Under the circumstance of Internet of things, the transmission congestion
management of interruptible load is the important measure to improve system reliability and
operating economy. Considering the condition of target selected under different circumstances,
this paper proposes a new multi-objective model of transmission congestion management with
interruptible load based on brand circuit overload match with interrupt capacity. The multiobject model puts forward three goals, brand circuit overload match with interruptible load, the
minimum number of interruptible load nodes and the minimum total interruption of interruptible load. Against other optimization methods can not prioritize to multiple targets and it can
easily lead to convergence in the process of solving problems, the paper presents construct
evaluation function based on the linear weighted sum to optimize multi-objective linear
problem. This method can be sorted prior to multi-objective optimization model. And it has
better convergence than other optimization methods in the solution process. Finally, it tests and
verifies the correctness of method through the IEEE 30 bus power system. And it successfully
applied to grid congestion management in oil.

need to face more and more serious transmission congestion problem. With the opening up of
the grid and cross-regional electrical energy trade increasing, the deepening of power market
reform, it is necessary to carry out a wider range of optimal allocation of resources. The
gradual opening of demand side has become an important part of congestion management [3].
The increasing of electricity trade and power flow uncertainty has limited the transmission of
electrical energy obviously. Consequently, transmission congestion had become an important
subject to be solved.
The transmission congestion of power system means that the requirements of power
transmission can’t be satisfied because of the limitation of its transmission capacity,
which usually includes transmission lines or transformer active power flow exceeding the
permitted limit and the node voltage off-limit, etc. In order to eliminate the congestion,
the management mode of congestion presents diversification. In the traditional congestion management mode, power grid companies adjust power plant power plan, and
generator outputs to invoke a high power. This kind of congestion management usually
concentrates on the side of power generation. Literature [17] proposes a congestion
management model of joint mode; its essence is to consider all kinds of security
constraints of the Optimal Power Flow (OPF) problems. Due to the fluctuation of node
electricity price under this model is very big, and trade surpluses can be produced, which
produce wrongful stimulate to the Independent System Operator (ISO). Therefore the
PJM energy market in the United States and electricity market in the New England use
financial transmission rights to solve the transmission congestion [2, 11]. User demand
elasticity is also used to solve the transmission congestion. Under the market structure of
both sides of supply and demand quoting at the same time, the load of each node is a
decision variables affected by price, ISO can control electricity to ease congestion
flexibly. Literature [5] structures congestion management model with the method of
sensitivity analysis. Literature [1] uses generator rescheduling to solve the congestion,
and provides a kind of congestion cost allocation method.
Using IL (Interruptible Load) to solve the congestion management is a new solution
of the congestion management in recent years. IL can make full use of the electricity
elasticity, eliminate or relieve congestion and the power supply tension in peak load.
According to the interruptible power supply contract signed by the power company and
power users [10], it allows power companies to remove part of the user load as the
contracted purview at a particular period of time (such as peak load). Meanwhile giving
the user certain power shortage compensation can reduce the electricity load during peak
hours to relieve the tense situation of power supply, thus achieve the purpose of
congestion management.
2 The calculation of the maximum transmission capacity based on OPF
The reason of transmission congestion appearing in the power system is the limit of the
heat capacity of transmission line and the stability of the system. So, in the electricity
market, in order to guarantee to make full use of the transmission capacity and not
appear line congestion phenomenon, studying and calculating transmission capacities are
indispensable links. At present, the method for calculating the maximum transmission
capability mainly includes three [8]: the calculation method based on power transmission
distribution factor, continuous power flow calculation method, the OPF calculation

method. The OPF calculation method is calculating the maximum load capacity in the
constraint condition of equality and inequality, including the power flow equation and
transmission line heat constraints, etc. Compared with the other two methods, it can
optimize the allocation of resources, calculate the maximum transmission capacity more
accurately, and the calculation results are not too conservative.
2.1 Mathematical model
Determining the maximum transmission capacity is increasing transmission and reception
respectively at a given power generation node(s) and the load node(s), then solving power flow
equations and checking whether there is an overload line or out of node voltage out-of-limit,
repeating the process until appearing the overload line or out-of-limit node.Therefore, the
mathematical model is as follows:
maxλd
s:t: gðx; λd Þ ¼ 0
hðxÞ ≤0
ð1Þ
Where λd is a real parameter variable, reflecting the system transmission capacity of the
node load and generator power in a given varying modes. g(x, λd) = g(x) + λd (...truncated)
