During the last ten years, fuzzy system applications have received increasing attention in manufacturing industries, heavy industries, transportation systems, water supply systems. The applications are mainly for controllers, however, there also exist many other areas such as prediction, diagnosis, optimization, and planning. In power systems, many applications have been proposed, however, most...

Renewable energy sources (RES) such as wind turbines (WT) and solar cells have attracted the attention of power system operators users alike, thanks to their lack environmental pollution, independence fossil fuels, meager marginal costs. With introduction RES, challenges faced unit commitment (UC) problem a traditional optimization aiming minimize total costs by optimally determining units’ inp...

This paper presents a multi-year scenario-based methodology for transmission expansion planning (TEP) in order to enhance the available transfer capability (ATC). The ATC is an important factor for all players of electricity market who participate in power transaction activities and can support the competition and nondiscriminatory access to transmission lines among all market participants. The...

Concerns related to climate change and security of energy supply is pushing various countries to make strategic energy planning decisions. In this regard, energy system modelling is an appropriate method to find out the utilization of current declining non-renewable energy resources and other possible scenarios. Consequently, it is available to consider various aspects of energy system decision...

Generation Expansion Planning (GEP) is one of major modules of power system planning studies, normally performed for the nex 10-30 years horizon. The current industrial practices are to find the generation requirements based on a&#10&#10nodal analysis. In this way, the allocations are not determined and subequent studies are required to find the exact locations &#10 which as decomposed from the...
