Deregulations and market practices in power industry have brought great challenges to the system planning area. In particular, they introduce a variety of uncertainties to system planning. New techniques are required to cope with such uncertainties. As a promising approach, probabilistic methods are attracting more and more attentions by system planners. In small signal stability analysis, gene...

As current electric power communication network planning can hardly consider multiple design objectives simultaneously, we proposed a general optimization model of multiple objectives optical network planning in electric power communication systems, based on Pareto optimization and genetic algorithms. The optical network in power system is modelled mathematically and the total cost functional i...

Linear programming is a tool that has yet to reach its full potential in power system engineering. To illustrate in a tutorial style how it is currently being applied and how its use evolved, applications are outlined in three areas: generation scheduling, loss minimization through allocation of reactive power supply, and planning of capital investments in generation equipment. The applications...

Zhangjiakou regional network belongs to the Jibei power grid in Northern China and locates at the midway of the power transmission corridor from Inner-Mongolia to the rest of Jibei power grid. Zhangjiakou regional network consists of several area networks connected to the main network through 500kV stations. In recent years, renewable energy in rural areas has developed rapidly and electrified ...
