A new market based approach for transmission expansion planning in deregulated environments is presented in this paper. In this approach, transmission-planning decisions are made based on the electric power market conditions. The main contribution of this research is 1) Introducing a new probabilistic tool for analyzing the electric market conditions, 2) Defining new criteria for ranking transm...

The increased deployment of distributed generation calls for the coordination and interaction between transmission distribution levels. This requirement is particularly relevant planning purposes when renewable-based involved. Unfortunately, in current industry practice, network planners solve their problems independent each other, thereby leading to suboptimal solutions. Within this context, p...

Compared with static transmission network expansion planning (TNEP), multi-stage TNEP is more in line the actual situation, but modeling also complicated. This paper proposes a new method based on deep Q-network (DQN) algorithm, which can solve problem model. The main purpose of this research to provide grid planners simple and effective method, able flexibly adjust scheme without replanning. p...
