Multistage Security-Constrained HVAC/HVDC Transmission Expansion Planning With a Reduced Search Space

Stochastic Security Constrained Transmission and Battery Expansion Planning In Integrated Gas-Electricity Systems Considering High Penetration of Renewable Resources..

In this study, a new model is proposed to solve the problem of transmission and battery expansion planning considering integrated electricity and gas systems. The presented model is a bi-level stochastic planning model, where transmission and battery expansion planning modeling is done on one level, and gas network modeling is done on the other level. Here, the impact of the high penetration of...

A MULTISTAGE EXPANSION PLANNING METHOD FOR OPTIMAL SUBSTATION PLACEMENT

Optimal distribution substation placement is one of the major components of optimal distribution system planning projects. In this paper optimal substation placement problem is solved using Imperialist Competitive Algorithm (ICA) as a new developed heuristic optimization algorithm. This procedure gives the optimal size, site and installation time of medium voltage substation, using their relate...

A Transmission Expansion Planning Model for Maximizing Merchant Investment

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...

Transmission Network Expansion Planning Under a Tabu Search Approach

This paper describes an implementation of Tabu Search to cope with long-term transmission network expansion planning problems. Tabu Search is a metaheuristic proposed in 1989 to be applied to combinatorial problems. To assess the potential of our approach we will test it with two cases of transmission network expansion planning. The results obtained by our approach let us to conclude that TS is...
