It is important to keep the power system secure from a voltage and dynamic stability viewpoint after relieving congestion, because the power system may operate at a low stability level in this situation. Therefore it is essential toconsider power system stability margin during the congestion management (CM). The multi-objective congestionmanagement framework presented in this paper tries to optimize three competing objective functions of congestionmanagement cost, voltage and dynamic stability indexes. In this paper Demand Response Programs are implemented for congestion management in order to reduce congestion management cost and improve power system stability margins. The proposed method is tested on a New- England 39- bus test and results are compared with single-objective method
