This paper presents a novel mathematical model for the transmission network expansion planning problem. Main idea is to consider phase-shifter (PS) transformers as a new element of the transmission system expansion together with other traditional components such as transmission lines and conventional transformers. In this way, PS are added in order to redistribute active power flows in the syst...

Solar PhotoVoltaics (PV) integration into the electricity grids significantly increases complexity of Transmission Expansion Planning (TEP) because solar PV power generation is uncertain and difficult to predict. Therefore, this paper proposes optimal planning method for transmission expansion combined with generation. The problem solved by using Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) forecasting radiat...

Multi-objective optimisation is a proven well known parameter tuning technique in complex power system problems. It is especially suited to solve complex transmission network expansion planning. This paper proposes a practical method for transmission network expansion planning by bacterial foraging technique. The electricity industry has always been interested in expanding investment in the tra...
