Investment planning in generation facilities is necessarily a multi-stage exercise, especially in the near future, since most of the power to be built is expected to be from renewable units and their investment costs are still subject to high uncertainty. For this reason, in this paper we propose a multi-stage generation investment model where the demand growth and the investment costs of generating...
The increasing integration of wind power and other distributed energy resources into modern power distribution systems has made the power distribution planning (PDP) a very interesting and challenging optimization problem. This paper proposes a long-term, multi-stage PDP method for the optimal reconductoring of feeders in order to efficiently meet the load growth demand and optimally accommodate a...
Electric distribution networks are now in the era of transition from passive to active distribution networks with the integration of energy storage devices. Optimal usage of batteries and voltage control devices along with other upgrades in network needs a distribution expansion planning (DEP) considering inter-temporal dependencies of stages. This paper presents an efficient approach for solving...
Nowadays, by increasing the utilization of phasor measurement units (PMUs) in power system, it is clearly expected that the PMUs play a vital role in smart transmission grid. In the reality, power systems are large scale, accordingly, financial limitations (due to PMU cost) and technical problems are impeding installation of all the required PMUs in a short time. Therefore, the PMUs are usually installed...
When planning the expansion and operation of distribution systems (DS), utilities face a complex combination of technical and regulatory constraints, which must be considered together with the influence that investment decisions today have on the behavior of the DS along the planning horizon. We present a novel methodology for the multi-stage expansion and operation of a DS, considering a broad set...
Conventional multi-stage transmission network expansion planning does not consider some dynamic factors, such as the effect of the following load growth in every stage and the swift increase of construction cost. But these dynamic factors are very important in deregulated power system. This paper brings forward the dynamic multi-stage transmission network expansion planning to handle these dynamic...
