This paper presents an Election Campaign Optimizat ion (ECO) algorithm for the solution of Generation Expansion Planning (GEP) problem in a competitive electricity market. GEP is one of the important decision-making activities in electric utilit ies and plays a fundamental ro le in the deregulated environment for electricity trading. It is highly constrained non-linear dynamic optimization prob...

Generation expansion planning (GEP) models have been useful aids for long-term planning. Recent growth in intermittent renewable generation has increased the need to represent capability non-renewables respond rapid changes daily loads, leading research bring unit commitment (UC) features into GEPs. Such GEP+UC usually contain discrete variables which, along with many details, make computation ...

For this study, we constructed the following three case scenarios based on the Taiwanese government's energy policy: a normal scenario, the 2008 “Sustainable Energy Policy Convention” scenario, and the 2011 “New Energy Policy” scenario. We then employed a long-term Generation Expansion Planning (GEP) optimization model to compare the three case scenarios' energy mix for power generation for the...

this paper develops a model for distribution network expansion planning (dnep) considering reliability issues. with simultaneous switch placement and dnep, the proposed model tries to adequately consider the reliability issues in the planning stage in a way that the designed network has suitable performance from the reliability viewpoint. the reinforcement or installation of mv feeders and hv/m...

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...

in order to improve the reliability of the power system, sufficient amount of new capacity should be installed in the network. usually generation units’ payoff in an energy market is not adequate to cover their expenses. therefore, energy only market cannot induce investors to invest in generation field. due to energy only market inefficiency, a supplementary algorithm is suggested to cover the...

Reduced rotational inertia in power grids due to increasing penetration levels of distributed generations (DGs) may lead degraded performance the traditional frequency control scheme. In response this challenge, adequacy has recently emerged as a new research area modern systems. Accordingly, an attempt is made paper tackle generation expansion planning (GEP) problem. This turn helps realize su...

This work addresses the internalization of externalities in energy decision making and generation expansion planning (GEP). Although linkage between is well recognized, issue GEP models from a sustainability perspective still far being fully explored. A critical literature review presented, including scientific articles published period 2011 to 2021 selected databases according set pre-defined ...
