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...

With the continuous promotion of China’s electricity market reform, introduction competition in power generation provides a new research direction for expansion planning (GEP) problem, which is great significance optimization energy structure. In context marketization, price expectation during period key factor GEP independent groups. There some literature showing that can be estimated accordin...

Medium-term modeling of electricity market has essential role in generation expansion planning. On the other hand, uncertainties strongly affect modeling and consequently, strategic analysis of generation firms in the medium term. Therefore, models considering these uncertainties are highly required. Among uncertain variables considered in the medium term generation planning, demand and hyd...

Generation Expansion Planning (GEP) has been a significant issue for not only the regulator but also the market participants. The generators should adapt strategies at stage of long-term capacity adjustment and stage of operation for pursuing improvement of their profit. The regulator should anticipate market failure and give incentives to capacity investment. In the competitive Electricity mar...

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...

network expansion studies normally offer new power lines, new substations or expansion of existing substations. they are generally proposed based on technical requirements, but financial restrictions are not considered. because of financial restrictions, ranking of network expansion plans is required. in this paper an algorithm for such ranking, based on technical and financial view points and ...
