Congestion problems are increasing in number in power transmission networks due to the increment of renewable power sources along it. To reduce their impact, Transmission System Operators (TSOs) as the French RTE use network recon-figuration or renewable power curtailment in complex subtrans-mission areas. The operators need enhanced methodological tools to better address the optimal power flow management problem by also using novel levers as for example the storage devices. This paper proposes mathematical models which integrate the possibility to partially curtail the renewable power in the form of a dynamical system representing the transmission network, also considering storage devices.
