Transmission system is one of the most important parts of the restructured power system. Insufficient or inappropriate expansion of transmission system is considered to be a major barrier to competition in electricity market. Therefore many researches have been focused on developing suitable approaches for transmission expansion planning in deregulated power systems. This paper presents a new ...

In this study, a new model is proposed to solve the problem of transmission and battery expansion planning considering integrated electricity and gas systems. The presented model is a bi-level stochastic planning model, where transmission and battery expansion planning modeling is done on one level, and gas network modeling is done on the other level. Here, the impact of the high penetration of...
