With the increasing integration of renewable energy into power grid, traditional roles transmission and distribution networks have become less distinct at operational level. The between network planning (DNP) operation is crucial to ensure grid stability. Existing research has primarily focused on collaborative control networks, leaving a gap in integrated DNP, since few works can handle intege...

This work aims to minimize the cost of installing renewable energy resources (photovoltaic systems) as well storage systems (batteries), in addition operation over a period 20 years, which will include operating power grid and charging discharging batteries. To this end, we propose long-term planning optimization expansion framework for smart distribution network. A second order cone programmin...

The increasing integration of renewable energies into the grid is calling for expansion power transport capacities in distribution system. Yet, could require long authorization procedures and cannot be always asserted. Therefore, a higher utilization existing becoming increasingly necessary today. This paper proposes new time series-based planning method systems using classical instruments as w...

in this paper, first, a new criterion, titled “surplus percent of the customers” is defined for static transmission expansion planning in restructured power systems. then by a simple example, the new criterion is compared with some already presented market-based criteria and it is shown that the new criterion can realistically evaluate the transmission network expansion from the market view. in...

This paper presents a combined framework for power distribution network expansion planning (DNEP) and energy storage systems (ESSs) allocation in active networks (ADNs) hosting large amount of photovoltaic (PV) generations loads. The proposed DNEP ensures the reliable operation targeted ADN with objective achieving its dispatchability while minimizing grid losses by determining optimal to conne...
