Overview of Electric Energy Distribution Networks Expansion Planning

Dynamic Planning the Expansion of Electric Energy Distribution Systems Considering Distributed Generation Resources in the Presence of Power Demand Uncertainty

In this paper, a new strategy based on a dynamic (time-based) model is proposed for expansion planning of electrical energy distribution systems, taking into account distributed generation resources and advantage of the techno-economic approach. In addition to optimal placement and capacity, the proposed model is able to determine the timing of installation / reinforcement of expansion options....

Significant Characteristics of Multi Carrier Energy Networks for Integration of Plug-In Electric Vehicles to Electric Distribution Network

One of the big concerns of big cities is facing with the increase of fossil fuel vehicles in the roads. The cars intensify greenhouse gas emission in civic centers. One approach to reduce the emission is replacing the cars by Plug-In Electric Vehicles (PEVs). In spite of reducing the emission, PEVs have some adverse effect on electric distribution networks. Technical challenges such as load and...

Emerging Electric Utility Distribution Planning Practices for Distributed Energy Resources

Column-Generation for Capacity-Expansion Planning of Electricity Distribution Networks

We present a stochastic model for capacity-expansion planning of electricity distribution networks subject to uncertain demand (CEP). We formulate CEP as a multistage stochastic mixed-integer program with a scenario-tree representation of uncertainty. At each node of the scenario-tree, the model determines capacity-expansions, operating con guration, and power ows. A “super-arc” representation ...
