In classical linear network flow (LNF) problems, a network consists of multiple source and sink nodes, where each node is a sink node or a source node, but not both. Usually, there is only one kind of commodity flow and the goal is to find flow schedules and routes such that all sink nodes’ flow demands are satisfied and the total flow transmission cost is minimized. We develop a capacity expan...

This paper presents a method for coordinated network expansion planning (CNEP) in which the difference between total cost and flexibility benefit is minimized. In proposed method, generation (GEP) of wind farms with transmission (TEP) problem by using energy storage systems (ESSs) to improve flexibility. To consider impact reactive power CNEP problem, AC flow model used. The constraints include...

This paper presents the generation and transmission expansion planning (GTEP) considering switched capacitive banks (SCBs) allocation in power system, including demand response program (DRP). scheme is based on system flexibility. The objective function of minimizes expected cost that equaled to summation total construction costs SCBs, units (GUs) lines (TLs), operating GUs. It concerned with A...

Power system modeling is a software management tool for managing electricity demand, power system trading electricity and power system generation expansion planning purposes, through the combination of various models and their comparison, which can be used by the Government for its policy support and by the power enterprises for their business development planning decision support, and ensure t...

In this paper, a problem concerning both the planning of health care services and the routing of vehicles, for patients transportation is addressed. An integrated approach, based on the column generation technique, is proposed to solve the planning and routing problem. Preliminary results on real data show the effectiveness of the proposed approach.
