Conversely, renewable energy sources like wind offer an inexhaustible, cost-effective, and environmentally friendly solution, potentially alleviating congestion in the modern transmission network by reducing the need for conventional generators to reschedule. This article conducts a thorough analysis of how the penetration of wind power impacts congestion costs in conventional energy systems. To address this, a novel approach utilizing the bus sensitivity factor is introduced for precise wind turbine placement. To efficiently mitigate congestion costs, a pioneering Salp Swarm Optimization Algorithm is proposed and validated on a modified IEEE 30 Bus system, demonstrating superior performance compared to other algorithms. The findings underscore the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm and highlight wind turbines, coupled with generator rescheduling, as a potent and cost-effective solution for alleviating transmission network congestion.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessderegulated power systembus sensitivity factorgenerator sensitivity factorrenewable energy sourcesalp swarm optimizationArticle10.1080/15325008.2024.23142022-s2.0-85186211919Q3WOS:001165781100001N/A
