An Incremental Reliability Assessment Approach for Transmission Expansion Planning

an approach for distribution network expansion planning considering reliability issues

this paper develops a model for distribution network expansion planning (dnep) considering reliability issues. with simultaneous switch placement and dnep, the proposed model tries to adequately consider the reliability issues in the planning stage in a way that the designed network has suitable performance from the reliability viewpoint. the reinforcement or installation of mv feeders and hv/m...

A new Approach for Transmission Network Expansion Planning using Modified Reliability Assessment and Cost-optimization Method

Transmission network expansion planning (TNEP) faces critical challenges to not only keep reliability criteria, but also effectively reduce huge investment cost. Recently, TNEP has been modeled by probabilistic method for the security and reliability criteria, including power market concepts as well. This paper presents a reliable and economic approach for solving TNEP problem through a simple ...

A Transmission Expansion Planning Model for Maximizing Merchant Investment

Transmission expansion planning based on merchandizing surplus of transmission lines

This paper proposes an optimal transmission expansion planning (TEP) which is based on determining share of each line in merchandizing surplus (MS) of system, determining by Independent System Operator (ISO). The more share of a line in MS of system denotes the priority of a line for expansion. The procedure of determining MS of each line in a power system is based on determining the MS share o...

An Incremental Learning Approach for Completable Planning

Many real world planning domains are complex and uncertain, preventing complete a priori planning. However, real world planners can also rely on runtime information to facilitate additional planning during execution. The completable approach to planning introduces the idea of completable steps, which represent deferred planning decisions. Through completable steps, a planner can defer particula...
