this paper presents an application of benders decomposition to deal with the complexities in the simultaneous generation expansion planning (gep) and transmission expansion planning (tep). unlike the power system operation fields of study, the power system planning methods are not expected to be fast. however, it is always preferable to speed up computations to provide more analysis options for...

In regions with high penetration of Distributed Energy Resources (DER), grid congestion is mostly caused by power feed-in generators. this context, conventional approaches for solving the problems are Active Power Curtailment (APC) DER and reinforcement. wake increased generation, it not only interest how to obtain reinforcement, but also consider APC during planning. The challenge such plannin...

the ultimate goal of power system operation and planning is to increase power system reliability which enforces interconnected operation of power system. as a result of power system interconnection, the inter-area oscillation under different disturbances may cause power system partial or total blackout. dc-segmentation of interconnected power systems is a solution in which the topology of the n...

optimal capacitor placement, considering power system loss reduction, voltage profile improvement, line reactive power decrease and power factor correction, is of particular importance in power system planning and control. the distribution system operator calculates the optimal place, number and capacity of capacitors based on two major purposes: active power loss reduction and return on invest...
