The increase in electricity demand has exerted pressure on distribution networks to provide efficient and reliable services. In addition to this, the deployment of Distributed energy resources (DERs) is increasing vastly. Thus, new strategies for congestion management are required to cope with these new changes. This paper, proposes an algorithm to optimize the total operational cost of Distribution system operator (DSO) in congestion management using Demand side flexibility (DSF) while considering the payback effect. The proposed algorithm is integrated with MATPOWER in MATLAB, to assess the benefits of this approach from technical and operational perspectives through a case study on the CIGRE European MV distribution benchmark grid.
