Distribution network expansion planning is a technique for managing the system effectively in face of future challenges. This work investigates design mesh distribution to allocate substations, DGs, voltage regulators, feeder routing, switch placement, and integration multiple energy carrier systems. Dynamic modeling multi-objective proposed this study identify optimal plan operational strategy...

Recent breakthroughs in Transmission Network Expansion Planning (TNEP) have demonstrated that the use of robust optimization, as opposed to stochastic programming methods, renders the expansion planning problem computationally tractable for real systems. State-of-the-art robust methods treat this problem as stationary throughout the study period, with all the required investments on expansion o...

Based on the theory of complex network, this paper focuses on the planning of logistics nodes for strategic supply chain. I propose a practical mathematical modeling framework that simultaneously captures many practical aspects but still understated in the existing literatures of network planning problems. Moreover, capacity expansion and reduction scenarios are also analyzed as well as modular...
