For a utility company to reduce CO 2 emissions along with managing load demands, it must strive for 100 percent renewable electrical power generation. Europe takes initiatives achieve this goal by developing super smart grid (SSG) based on e...

Within the electric power literature the transmission expansion planning problem (TNEP) refers to the problem of how to upgrade an electric power network to meet future demands. As this problem is a complex, non-linear, and non-convex optimization problem, researchers have traditionally focused on approximate models of power flows. Existing approaches are often tightly coupled to the approximat...

Transmission network expansion planning (TNEP) is an important component of power system planning that its task is to minimize the network construction and operational cost while satisfying the demand increasing, imposed technical and economic conditions. Up till now, various methods have been presented to solve the static transmission network expansion planning (STNEP) problem. But in all of t...

Transmission network expansion planning (TNEP) is an important component of power system planning. It determines the characteristics and performance of the future electric power network and influences the power system operation directly. Different methods have been proposed for the solution of the static transmission network expansion planning (STNEP) problem till now. But in all of them, STNEP...

Transmission network expansion planning (TNEP) is a basic part of power system planning that determines where, when and how many new transmission lines should be added to the network. Up till now, various methods have been presented to solve the static transmission network expansion planning (STNEP) problem. But in all of these methods, transmission expansion planning considering network adequa...

this paper proposes an optimal transmission expansion planning (tep) which is based on determining share of each line in merchandizing surplus (ms) of system, determining by independent system operator (iso). the more share of a line in ms of system denotes the priority of a line for expansion. the procedure of determining ms of each line in a power system is based on determining the ms share o...
