The expansion of the transmission network will be a key enabler energy transition. However, high level technical detail involved in studies, where DCPF and consideration discrete investment are necessary, meant that it was accessible only to very specialized researchers. OpenTEPES changes picture by providing an open-access tool with full functionality. determines plans for new power facilities...

introduction: the selection of suitable beam angles and weights in external-beam radiotherapy is at present generally based upon the experience of the planner. therefore, automated selection of beam angles and weights in forward-planned radiotherapy will be beneficial. material and methods: in this work, an efficient method is presented within the matlab environment to investigate how to improv...

We describe a multistage, stochastic, mixed-integer programming model for planning capacity expansion of production facilities. A scenario tree represents uncertainty in the model; a general mixed-integer program defines the operational submodel at each scenario-tree node, and capacity-expansion decisions link the stages. We apply “variable splitting” to two model variants, and solve those vari...

We propose a TransCo model for coordinating transmission expansion planning with competitive generation capacity planning in electricity markets. Our purpose is to provide a tool to simulate the equilibrium interplay regarding strategic decisions of a set of power producers and a single transmission operator. The solution represents an iterative process for defining the optimal transmission exp...
