The advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) is an architecture for two-way communication between electric, gas and water meters and city utilities. The AMI network is a wireless sensor network that provides communication for metering devices in the neighborhood area of the smart grid. Recently, the applicability of a routing protocol for low-power and lossy networks (RPL) has been considered in ...

The restructuring of global power industries has introduced a number of challenges, such as conflicting planning objectives and increasing uncertainties, to transmission network planners. During the recent past, a number of distributed generation technologies also reached a stage allowing large scale implementation, which will profoundly influence the power industry, as well as the practice of ...

In this country development of electrical power system particular for transmission line expansion and interconnection of neighbouring power system try to improve system security and economic operation. Due to this province in large scale power system, operation , control and expansion planning for particular system become challenging task to reduce transmission loss as minimum as possible for o...

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 ...

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 so that the load is adequately supplied. There are several factors affecting TNEP, which sometimes make the problem results inaccurate and impractical because of their complicacy. Therefore, it should be tried to p...

Within the electric power literature the transmission expansion planning problem (TEP) 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. This research paper deals with various planning tools for TEP ba...

1 PEGASE R&D project: Advanced algorithms for state estimation and simulation of the Pan‐European power system The PEGASE project has produced new tools to enhance the cooperation among transmission system operators for the real time control and operational planning of the Pan-European transmission network. New powerful algorithms and full-scale prototypes have been developed that run the whole...

Abstract This paper formulates and solves a techno-economic planning problem of reactive power (VAR) in transmission systems under loadings. The objective the proposed research work is to minimize combination installation cost sources, losses operational while satisfying technical constraints. Initially, positions for placement sources are determined technically. Different components such as VA...

The transmission expansion planning problem in modern power systems is a large-scale, mixed-integer, non-linear and non-convex problem. This paper presents a novel mathematical model to solve security constraints transmission system expansion planning problem via a constructive heuristic algorithm (CHA). The basic idea comes from Garver’s work applied to the transportation model; nevertheless t...
