Abstract In recent years, supporting schemes have been legislated by several governments to encourage private investors in installing renewable energy resources (RER). such cases, the supportive policies are mainly enacted based on either investor or distribution companies’ standpoint. this paper, a network expansion planning (DNEP) framework with cooperation of residential (RPI) is proposed. D...

Nowadays, the transition from a conventional generation system to a renewable generation system is one of the most difficult challenges for system operators and companies. There are several reasons: the long-standing impact of investment decisions, the proper integration of renewable sources into the system, the present and future uncertainties, and the convenience to consider an integrated yea...

Transmission network expansion planning (TNEP) is a basic part of power network planning that determines where, when and how many new transmission lines should be added to the network. So, the TNEP is an optimizing problem in which the expansion purposes are optimized. The Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools such as Genetic Algorithm (GA), Simulated Annealing (SA), Tabu Search (TS), Artificial n...

The number of connections of photovoltaic (PV) to distribution network is increasing. Very few PV connection guidelines that distribution system operators (DSOs) can refer to have been found. This paper deals with network planning guidelines for distribution networks with PV. The paper aims to identify planning rules that are relatively easy to implement.

This paper presents a novel mathematical model for the transmission network expansion planning problem. Main idea is to consider phase-shifter (PS) transformers as a new element of the transmission system expansion together with other traditional components such as transmission lines and conventional transformers. In this way, PS are added in order to redistribute active power flows in the syst...
