“…In short-term planning, the steady-state studies use an AC model in order to assess real-power losses accurately and reactive compensation requirements, both for the basic configuration as well as contingencies. The use of the complete AC model in the first phase is incipient but there are few technical literatures on the subject [4,15].…”

“…The transmission network expansion planning (TEP) problem has been studied extensively in the literature since the early 1970s [1] and it is still an active research area, where a broad recent literature review can be addressed in [2]. Most of these studies employ only simplified DC models, while the AC network modeling has been proposed in new studies [3,4]. In fact, TEP is usually divided into the following: long-term (up to 20 years), in which large transmission interconnections associated with new energy sources will be considered; medium-term (up to 10 years), in which more details of the interconnections incorporating alternatives for the regional systems will be determined; and short-term (up to 5 years), where the final adjustments are made regarding the alternatives previously chosen, such as the reactive compensation, while the information from the system operation is included in the planning process.…”

Abstract:In this paper, a hybrid heuristic methodology that employs fuzzy logic for solving the AC transmission network expansion planning (AC-TEP) problem is presented. An enhanced constructive heuristic algorithm aimed at obtaining a significant quality solution for such complicated problems considering contingency is proposed. In order to indicate the severity of the contingency, 2 performance indices, namely the line flow performance index and voltage performance index, are calculated. An interior point method is applied as a nonlinear programming solver to handle such nonconvex optimization problems, while the objective function includes the costs of the new transmission lines as well as the real power losses. The performance of the proposed method is examined by applying it to the well-known Garver system for different cases. The simulation studies and result analysis demonstrate that the proposed method provides a promising way to find an optimal plan. Obtaining the best quality solution shows the capability and the viability of the proposed algorithm in AC-TEP.

“…Recently an accurate AC network modeling has been proposed in [4]. The use of the complete AC model in the first phase is incipient but there are few technical literatures on the subject [4][5][6]. Owing to the large-scale nature of a transmission system and its complexities, TEP has always been a complex non-convex optimization problem.…”

Transmission network expansion planning (TNEP) is a challenging issue especially in new restructured electricity markets environment. TNEP can be incorporated with reactive power planning in which the operating conditions will be satisfied. In this paper a combinatorial mathematical model has been presented to solve transmission expansion and reactive power planning problem (TEPRPP) simultaneously. The proposed model is a non-convex problem having a mixed integer nonlinear nature where the number of candidate solutions to be evaluated increases exponentially according to the system size. The objective function of TEPRPP comprises the new circuits' investment and production costs as well as load curtailment penalty payments. A real genetic algorithm (RGA) aimed to obtaining a significant quality solution to handle such a complicated problem has been employed. An interior point method (IPM) is applied to solve the proposed concurrent optimization problem in the solution steps of TEPRPP model. This paper proposes a new methodology for the best location as well as the capacity of VAr sources; it is tested on two well-known systems; the Garver and IEEE 24-bus systems. The obtained results show the capability and the viability of the proposed TEPRPP model incorporating operating conditions.
