In this paper a new market Based approach for transmission expansion planning in deregulated power systems is presented. Restructuring and deregulation has exposed transmission planner to new objectives and uncertainties. Therefore, new criteria and approaches are needed for transmission planning in deregulated environments. In this paper we introduced a new method for computing the Locational ...

in order to improve the reliability of the power system, sufficient amount of new capacity should be installed in the network. usually generation units’ payoff in an energy market is not adequate to cover their expenses. therefore, energy only market cannot induce investors to invest in generation field. due to energy only market inefficiency, a supplementary algorithm is suggested to cover the...

Marketing and R&D strategies need to be aligned to increase the return from investment in new technologies. Various portfolio techniques have been widely used to support strategic planning. A new portfolio approach integrating market and technology portfolios to support market-oriented R&D planning is developed. The integrated portfolio is based on objective market and patent data and empirical...

A Market-based system has been developed to assist in mission planning for a earth orbiting synthetic aperture radar ( S A R ) mission. The system enables participants to signal demands for spacecraft resources needed for data acquisitions by establishing a currency and "worth" for a part~cular data acquisition request. We compared a Serial Drafl approach to two Market-based approaches; a Simpl...

This paper presents a market-based, multi-robot planning capability, designed as part of a distributed, layered architecture for multi-robot control and coordination. More speci cally, we are developing an extension to the traditional three-layered robot architecture that enables robots to interact directly at each layer | at the behavioral level, the robots create distributed control loops; at...
