“…This approach has been adopted by some authors, for instance, in [10,63,73,74]. Alternatively, authors in [75] proposed to incorporate the external costs of energy generation and transmission (e.g., costs due to environmental and societal damages) into the marginal production costs so that it impacts the supply and demand equilibrium. Authors in [76][77][78][79] incorporated a cost term in the objective function to reflect emissions.…”

“…In addition, the size of the wind farm, the length and design of the turbines, and the local topography may determine the severity of this type of pollution for a particular region, which may not be generalizable to other wind farms and regions. Similarly, for power transmission lines, changes to the landscape, when lines cut through forested areas, aesthetic disturbance [75], and electromagnetic noise need to be taken into account. Although, most negative impacts of transmission lines are local in nature.…”

Electric demand is steadily increasing, hence requiring continuous investments in modernizing, and expanding power grids worldwide. Traditionally, power system planning projects have considered minimizing the costs of capacity expansion and minimizing the amount of energy not served as the main objectives. With climate change policies enforcing the decommissioning of fossil-fuel-based generation, new clean and renewable generation technologies are being considered for power system capacity expansion projects. However, the environmental impacts of energy resources are not limited to carbon emissions and their contribution to global warming. In fact, every power generation technology can result in undesired impacts during its entire life cycle, which could negatively affect air quality, water resources, material resources, and/or human health. This paper provides an overview of how to assess the sustainability of power systems and power generation technologies based on life cycle assessment (LCA). A review of LCA, as applied to power systems and generation technologies, is presented with a discussion of general findings, challenges, and limitations. A review of the literature is then provided related to how sustainability objectives are currently incorporated in power grid design and capacity expansion models. Finally, shortcomings of the current models are discussed, along with opportunities for future research.

Deregulation of the electric power industry has unbundled a single electric power entity into separate business entities in the past two decades in many developed countries. The introduction of competition in the electricity market allows generation plants of different types, inclusive of renewable energy, and demand side management (DSM) to offer their energy and reserve. The main objectives of this new electric power industry are to reduce the cost that the consumers have to pay for List of Acronyms ix
