description The separation of transmission and distribution systems raises a variety of questions concerning the integration of many distributed generators (DGs) into future grids. They are difficult to solve by using current energy management methods. Especially, the cooperative control between transmission system operator (TSO) and distribution system operator (DSO) has been increasingly emphasized to manage the line congestion. This paper proposes a new cooperative control of TSO-DSO based on the generation-load power sensitivity analysis. To minimize the required computational effort and data communication, the information of TSO and DSO is processed separately in the generation-load power sensitivity matrix of power system. The proposed cooperative control is implemented by three-step process, which is aggregation, specification, and local distribution. Firstly, the DSOs aggregate the flexibility area of DGs in their networks, and they inform the TSO of the feasible operation regions (FORs). Then, the TSO sends the power references at the boundary buses to many DSOs. Thereafter, the DSOs use these references as loads to calculate the detailed power references for their generators. As the result, the net power of DSOs satisfies the power references requested by the TSO. The case studies are carried out to verify the effectiveness of proposed control. The results show that when the load is increased by 20%, the overall average of line loading is decreased by 4.34% with the proposed control. Also, when the generator of 634 MW is disconnected, the frequency nadir is increased by 0.1 Hz compared with the <inline-formula> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">$P$ </tex-math></inline-formula>-<inline-formula> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">$f$ </tex-math></inline-formula> droop control.
