To solve the direct current (DC) power flow model based static transmission network expansion planning (STNEP), a modified version of MOX algorithm named Improved-MOX which has fast computation time and having better exploration capability then the MOX algorithm is presented in this paper. The objective is to minimize the transmission investment cost. Transmission network expansion planning (TNEP) helps to find out the new line configurations to meet the necessary requirements of the system operator in order to maintain the stable operation of the system. Here STNEP is analyzed considering without generation rescheduling. Garver's six-bus, IEEE 24-bus and IEEE 25-bus test systems are used to check the validations of the proposed algorithm and along with the results obtained are compared with the existing in literatures.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
