Metaheuristics in Transmission Network Expansion Planning-an Overview
نویسنده
چکیده
Within the electric power literature the transmission expansion planning problem (TEP) refers to the problem of how to upgrade an electric power network to meet future demands. As this problem is a complex, non-linear, and non-convex optimization problem, researchers have traditionally focused on approximate models of power flows. This research paper deals with various planning tools for TEP based on solution methods, the treatment of the planning horizon, and the consideration of the new competitive schemes in the power sector. Metaheuristics are by far the most popular and define mechanisms for developing an evolution in the search space of the sets of solutions in order to come close to the ideal solution with elements which will survive in successive generations of populations.
