This paper presents a new mixed-integer linear programming formulation for combined generation, storage and demand response expansion planning. The proposed captures flexibility dynamics in integrated energy systems long horizons with large temporal resolution. objective function considers costs related to: investment, operation, emission penalties, fixed variable maintenance. considered units ...

Solar PhotoVoltaics (PV) integration into the electricity grids significantly increases complexity of Transmission Expansion Planning (TEP) because solar PV power generation is uncertain and difficult to predict. Therefore, this paper proposes optimal planning method for transmission expansion combined with generation. The problem solved by using Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) forecasting radiat...

We propose a TransCo model for coordinating transmission expansion planning with competitive generation capacity planning in electricity markets. Our purpose is to provide a tool to simulate the equilibrium interplay regarding strategic decisions of a set of power producers and a single transmission operator. The solution represents an iterative process for defining the optimal transmission exp...

This paper investigates the use of ant-colony optimization, simulated annealing, and genetic algorithms for distribution network expansion planning (DNEP) including distributed generation (DG). It may be introduced as a combinatorial optimization method that determines the location and capacity of feeders and substations while minimizing the network loss and installation cost. In this paper, DG...

Intensified industrialization in developing countries has recently resulted in huge electric power demand growth; however, electricity generation in these countries is still heavily reliant on inefficient and traditional non-renewable technologies. In this paper, we develop an integrated game-theoretic model for effective power systems planning thorough balancing between supply and demand for e...

This paper presents a novel concept of "smart distribution system expansion planning (SDEP)" which expands the concept of demand response programs to be dealt with the long term horizon time. The proposed framework, integrates demand response resources (DRRs) as virtual distributed generation (VDG) resources into the distribution expansion planning. The main aim of this paper is to develop and ...
