This paper presents a framework for long term transmission expansion planning in power pool competitive electricity markets. In the proposed approach, maximization of network users’ benefits with satisfying of security constraints is considered for determination of transmission expansion strategy. The proposed model is a complicated non-linear mixed-integer optimization problem. A hybrid ...

Despite the fact that transmission network has a vital role in electricity markets and cost of transmission expansion is considerable, but transmission charges represent a small percentage of power system operating costs. Thus, transmission cost allocation should be a reasonable economic indicator to make decisions on facility allocation, transmission expansion and other similar market tasks. ...

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...

Restructuring of electric industry has seriously affected the operation and planning process of electric power systems. Due to the unbundling process and new market requirements, a set of new challenges and goals have been introduced in the field of transmission planning. Moreover, the uncertainty level of input data to planning process has been increased significantly. In this paper first, the...
