This paper presents an application of Ant Colony System Algorithm (ACS) to solve electrical distribution planning problems. This model constitutes an improved version of the ant system algorithm, permitting to generate food routes from their nest, and where a set of artificial ants are cooperating in order to find a good route through the data exchange contained by the pheromone deposits in several...
Power systems worldwide have gone through a transition from vertically integrated into liberalized energy markets. At the same time, increased environmental concerns are promoting the use of renewable and efficient generation technologies. Consequently, a growing number of small-scale distributed energy resources (DER) are being installed in distribution systems. Passive operation of DER can result...
In a deregulated power system, generation companies would like to maximize their profits and share of the electricity market. This can only be achieved if transmission access and network availability is satisfactory. New mathematical models for generation and transmission planning are thus needed. The problem is divided into two sub-problems of generation and transmission. The two sub-problems will...
