An Approach for Transmission Expansion Planning using Neuro-Computing Hybridized with Genetic Algorithm

Return on Investment in Transmission Network Expansion Planning Considering Wind Generation Uncertainties Applying Non-dominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm

Although significant private investment is absorbed in different sectors of power systems, transmission sector is still suffering from appropriate private investment. This is because of the pricing policies of transmission services, tariffs, and especially for investment risks. Investment risks are due to the uncertain behaviour of power systems that discourage investors to invest in the transm...

A Transmission Expansion Planning Model for Maximizing Merchant Investment

An Improved Genetic Algorithm for Generation Expansion Planning

This paper presents a development of an improved genetic algorithm (IGA) and its application to a least-cost generation expansion planning (GEP) problem. Least-cost GEP problem is concerned with a highly constrained nonlinear dynamic optimization problem that can only be fully solved by complete enumeration, a process which is computationally impossible in a real-world GEP problem. In this pape...

Genetic Algorithm Approach to Generation Expansion Planning under Deregulated Environment

This paper presents an application of Improved Genetic Algorithm (IGA) with the support of Optimal Power Flow (OPF) algorithm for the least cost Generation Expansion Planning (GEP) problem under deregulated environment of power system. The proposed GEP model includes the presence of firm bilateral transactions, multilateral transactions and Independent Power Producers (IPP) in the system. The o...

Transmission expansion planning based on merchandizing surplus of transmission lines

This paper proposes an optimal transmission expansion planning (TEP) which is based on determining share of each line in merchandizing surplus (MS) of system, determining by Independent System Operator (ISO). The more share of a line in MS of system denotes the priority of a line for expansion. The procedure of determining MS of each line in a power system is based on determining the MS share o...
