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, lines adequacy rate has not been considered at the end of ...

Generation expansion planning is a challenging problem due to its large-scale, long-term, non-linear, and discrete nature of generation unit size. Since the computation revolution, there are several emerging techniques proposed to solve large scale optimization problem. Many of these techniques have been reported to use in generation expansion planning. This paper will describe these emerging o...

This research uses a comprehensive method to solve a combinatorial problem of distribution network expansion planning (DNEP) problem. The proposed multi-objective scheme aims to improve power system's accountability and system performance parameters, simultaneously, in the lowest possible costs. The dynamic programming approach is implemented in order to find the optimal sizing, siting and timi...

Clean and sustainable renewable energy technology is going to take responsibility of energy supply in electrical power systems. Using renewable sources improve the environment and reduce dependence on oil and other fossil fuels. In distribution power system, utilizing of wind and solar DGs comprises some advantages; consist of loss and emission reduction, and also improvement of voltage profile...

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...

In recent years, significant research efforts have been devoted to the optimal planning of power systems. Substation Expansion Planning (SEP) as a sub-system of power system planning consists of finding the most economical solution with the optimal location and size of future substations and/or feeders to meet the future load demand. The large number of design variables and combination of discr...

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...
