Generation Expansion Planning Using Benders’ Decomposition and Generalized Networks

This paper presents an optimization model and its application to a generation expansion planning problem. The proposed model has a generalized network structure and is exploited effectively by Benders’ decomposition algorithm, where a master problem generates trial expansion plans and a set of subproblems compute production cost and system reliability for the trial plan. The applicability of ou...

A Mathematical Model for Multi-Region, Multi-Source, Multi-Period Generation Expansion Planning in Renewable Energy for Country-Wide Generation-Transmission Planning

Environmental pollution and rapid depletion are among the chief concerns about fossil fuels such as oil, gas, and coal. Renewable energy sources do not suffer from such limitations and are considered the best choice to replace fossil fuels. The present study develops a mathematical model for optimal allocation of regional renewable energy to meet a country-wide demand and its other essential as...

A Fuzzy Multi Objective Programming Model for Power Generation and Transmission Expansion Planning Problem

The increasing consumption of electricity over time forces different countries to establishnew power plants and transmission lines. There are various crisp single-objective mathematicalmodels in the literature for the long-term power generation and transmission expansion planning tohelp the decision makers to make more reasonable decisions. But, in practice, most of the parametersassociated wit...

Water Distribution Expansion Planning with Decomposition

In recent years, the water distribution expansion planning (WDEP) problem has become increasingly complex as the demands on water distribution systems have evolved to meet modern requirements. This paper describes an algorithm that combines the strengths of local search with global search to flexibly handle these difficult problems. The algorithm decomposes a WDEP problem into sub problems usin...
