The increased deployment of distributed generation calls for the coordination and interaction between transmission distribution levels. This requirement is particularly relevant planning purposes when renewable-based involved. Unfortunately, in current industry practice, network planners solve their problems independent each other, thereby leading to suboptimal solutions. Within this context, p...

Nowadays, developing an integrated energy system (IES) is considered as effective pattern to improve efficiency and reduce supply costs. This study proposes a new index—convertibility index (CI)—to quantitatively assess the flexibility of IES regarding conversion processes between different flow types. Based on CI constraint, planning problem modeled bi-level optimization problem. To solve prop...
