Virtual power plants, while being virtual, rely on a physical network for operations. The portfolio of virtual power plant is flexible in facilitating a wide range of resources including the local heat pumps. The power transmission network has the responsibility to ensure security of supply, reliability of operation, planning and expansion. The power transmission network and apparatus including lines and towers are also ageing with time. Furthermore, the transmission network covers a large geographical area which is expensive to maintain.The objective of this paper is to investigate the effect of power network condition on the power network expansion planning. The condition of power network is determined by maintenance cost of lines and a health index and a risk factor associated to tower. The investigation begins with answering how the inclusion of heat pump impacts the decisions on network interventions. Thereafter, the condition network is factored in into the decision making by better understanding the impact of the network condition on the overall expansion planning. Furthermore many sensitivity analysis are conducted to evaluate the trade-offs between decision variables such as cost of heat pump, coefficient of performance of heat pump, risk factors and line and tower costs.
