Abstract:
1. A method of managing power generation of a power generation site in communication with at least one transmission line comprising: transmitting electricity to the transmission line from the power generation site; employing an information handling system in communication with the transmission line to detect an operating characteristic of the transmission line; detecting a curtailment action data and a predetermined curtailment probability level of the transmission line; storing the predetermined curtailment probability level; analyzing at least the operating characteristic and the curtailment action data to estimate a forecasted curtailment probability level; comparing the forecasted curtailment probability level to the predetermined curtailment probability level; and reducing the electricity being transmitted from the power generating site to the transmission line in response to the forecasted curtailment probability level being above the predetermined curtailment probability level to reduce the probability of a future congestion of the transmission line.
