The impending regulation of European electricity markets has led to an increasing cost pressure for network system operators. This applies in equal measure to transmission and distribution network operators. At the same time, boundary conditions of network planning are becoming more and more uncertain as a consequence of unbundling formerly integrated generation, transmission and distribution companies...
Due to uncertain boundary conditions, it becomes more and more difficult for network operators to solve the task of developing their networks in a sustainable way. In this paper, the conflict between long-term goals of network planning and short-term costs is revealed. A method for network expansion planning is presented. This method is not only capable of determining cost-minimal strategies to develop...
Due to the liberalization of European electricity and natural gas markets and the implementation of regulatory authorities, evaluating the efficiency of electrical and natural gas networks has gained in importance over the last years. Besides econometric methods, algorithms originally developed for network planning may be used for calculating optimal cost-efficient networks as a benchmark for existing...
This paper presents an analytical approach for evaluating network costs caused by integrating wind power. This approach is based on a network optimization method for long-term transmission network planning using Genetic Algorithms (GA), which calculates networks with minimum costs in an objective manner. A case study for the northern German transmission network shows a significant rise in costs depending...
In this contribution, a method for evaluating and minimizing network related costs for distributed generation in an objective manner is presented. The network optimization tools used provides functionality to realize long-term cost-efficient integration of distributed generation. Besides, short-term measures for connecting distributed generation to an existing network with minimum financial effort...
