Offshore wind power, a type of renewable energy sources (RES), presents a unique set of technical, economic, and regulatory challenges to the power system planning and operation. PJM Interconnection, one of the largest independent system planners (ISP) in the United States in terms of total load served, has recently received a merchant proposal to integrate offshore wind power of several gigawatt...

FERC Order No. 1000 requires regional transmission planning to consider and evaluate transmission alternatives and produce more efficient and cost effective regional transmission plans. The Order also removes any federal right of first refusal (ROFR) for new transmission facilities selected for regional cost allocation. This Order will greatly increase competition in transmission planning and development...
Frequent congestions that occurred at the border between PJM and MISO inevitably forced the two regional planners to find a remedy based on transmission solutions. This triggered the two RTOs to develop a joint methodology that would be acceptable to both entities. Such a methodology for promoting cross-border transmission at the seams of two adjacent electricity market systems is presented. This...
Plug-in Electric Vehicle (EV) is considered one of the most promising technology to implement the distributed storage because it combines social mobility need and environmental issue with technological function. The application of Vehicle-to-Grid concept (V2G) allows the storage energy management based on EV to be economic sustainable too. In the present paper, the authors present a model to evaluate...
The integration of photovoltaic generation into the power grid is one of the most significant measures for the guarantee of national energy security, the construction of low-carbon society and the enforcement of National Twelfth Five Years Plan in China. Based on the in-depth surveys, this paper presents the framework of the infrastructure construction planning of photovoltaic generation from the...
Economic, technology and environmental incentives are changing the features of electricity generation and transmission. Centralized power systems are giving way to local scale distributed generations. At present, there is a need to assess the effects of large numbers of distributed generators and short-term storage in Microgrid. To accommodate the high demand of renewable energy and the environment...
In this paper a Decision Support System (DSS) algorithm based on a multi-criteria analysis which allows us to determine the most suitable biomass energy basins for smart grid development is proposed. The energy management and planning DSS algorithm is based on dedicated GIS functionalities which have allowed an easier mathematical management of spatial data and an integration of the database with...
A feasibility analysis of National R&D programs has applied the Analytic Hi erarchy Process as a decision making tool. In order to reflect the character istics of R&D programs in analysis, research teams built a decision structu re which consists of three elements of technology, policy, and economic an alysis. Although the decision structure is effective in synthetic analysis, a q uestion...
Maintenance is an inevitable reality in industry. Maintenance of a system usually involves maintenance of multiple components with multiple failure modes, each of which may require different maintenance policy (i.e., corrective (CM), preventive (PM), or condition based maintenance (CBM)). A maintenance policy may be best for one component and the worst for the other (CM may be best for a very cheap...
This paper describes the multi-step value based transmission planning process for joint coordinated system plan with the consideration of large scale wind generation over the Eastern Interconnect footprint. As the result of the coordination of multiple RTOs, the conceptual transmission expansion plans are developed to meet both reliability and economic needs. A combined EHV AC and HVDC transmission...
Transmission planning for electric power systems is a challenging task due to the problem complexity. When system reliability is considered, transmission planning becomes even more complicated. In the recent years, significant amounts of wind power are being integrated into the conventional power systems. Wind power is environmentally benign, but it is intermittent since its availability cannot be...
To incorporate large-scale wind generation in the Midwest ISO footprint, bulk transmission planning is necessary. In this paper, transmission planning for large-scale wind power is explained in detail. In expansion planning, the wind generation capacities are estimated from state Renewable Portfolio Standards (RPS) and the wind generator locations are chosen based on best wind source zones. From economic...
Scientific and technological innovation is a key factor that promotes economic growth. As the investment of scientific and technological innovation has the nature and characteristic of public products or semi-public products in certain extent, governments are required to offer policies and funds to support scientific and technological innovation to solve the problem that the market is unable to dispose...
The electricity sector in Mexico is undergoing a process of significant structural change. Traditional industry framework has been exposed to new market structures and greater competition, both of which are being introduced by changing regulations on who can generate, transmit, distribute and sell electricity. At present, Mexicopsilas power industry is changing to a competitive integrated model. The...
This paper discussed the basic concepts, criteria, procedures and methods in probabilistic transmission planning. The main purpose is to capture probabilistic characteristics in power system planning including uncertainties in load forecast, generator locations, and random failures of system equipment. Two key steps in probabilistic transmission planning are probabilistic reliability evaluation and...
