The rapid development of different energy production and conversion technologies at the distribution system (DS) level facilitates integration electrical, heating, cooling DSs. planning operation integrated DSs will affect asset management transmission (TS), which in turn change electrical prices investment decisions DS level. This paper addresses a tri-level multi-stage approach for coordinate...

A new mathematical model for the multistage distribution network expansion planning problem considering reliability is proposed in this paper. Decisions related to substation and branch are driven by minimization of total cost, which comprises investment operating costs including impact reliability. The features two main novelties. First, a set novel algebraic expressions devised standard index...

The electrical distribution system (EDS) has undergone major changes in the last decade due to increasing integration of distributed generation (DG), particularly renewable energy DG. Since resources have uncertain generation, storage systems (ESSs) EDS can reduce impact those uncertainties. Besides, electric vehicles (EVs) been recent years leveraged by environmental concerns, bringing new cha...

In recent years, significant research efforts have been devoted to the optimal planning of power systems. Substation Expansion Planning (SEP) as a sub-system of power system planning consists of finding the most economical solution with the optimal location and size of future substations and/or feeders to meet the future load demand. The large number of design variables and combination of discr...

An interactive pareto optimal with advantage (IPOA) approach for bi-objective programming is proposed and applied on capacitor placement and sizing problem. Two main contradictory concerned which including cost and quality properties are considered as bi-objective programming formulation. The IPOA approach can provide a valuable trade-off pareto-optimal solution by following the intention of de...

Forecasting the future electric demand and its geographical distribution is a prerequisite to generate expansion-planning scenarios. The load growth pattern is related with the urban structure and its land-use. The model for simulating urban structures must be explicitly dynamic and must contains mechanisms for linking its macrostructure to micro behaviours. The paper presents a methodology, wh...
