Implementation of ABC Algorithm To Solve Simultaneous Substation Expansion And Transmission Expansion Planning

Simultaneous generation and network expansion planning in large‐scale power systems under exact AC power flow equations

“…From the viewpoint of optimization methods to provide optimal schemes in a computationally tractable manner, the previous studies can be classified as metaheuristic-and mathematical-based ones. The first class of references applies approaches like real genetic algorithm (GA) [8,9], decimal codification GA [47,48], non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm II (NSGA II) [17,18], particle swarm optimization (PSO) [10][11][12]29], improved discrete PSO [49,50], a combination of PSO and GA (PSO+GA) [27], differential evolution (DE) [13][14][15][16], DE-continuous population-based incremental learning (DE-PBILC) [24,25], artificial bee colony (ABC) [46], modified ABC [19][20][21], discrete ABC [52], improved discrete ABC [51], ant colony optimization algorithm for continuous domains (ACOR) [23], a combination of firefly algorithm and harmonic search algorithm (FFA+HAS) [39], adaptive tabu search (TS) [53], and hybridization of GA, TS, and artificial neural network (GA + TS + ANN) [28]. The latter one uses interior point method (IPM) [7], primal-dual interior-point method (PDIPM) [26], benders decomposition [34,38,40,44] or describes MINLP [22,36], mixed-integer linear programming (MILP) [30-33, 39, 41, 45, 52], and mixed-integer second-order cone programming (MISOCP) …”

“…In available researches for NEP and G-NEP such as [47][48][49][50][51][52][53][54][55][56], making an expansion decision relies on a list of candidate substations and transmission lines using cost-effective analysis. However, multiple transformers with different capacities and voltage ratios can be installed in new and existing substations according to geographical limitations.…”

“…Constraints ( 46) and ( 47) limit the maximum active power flow for every existing and candidate tie-lines, respectively. Constraint (48) for candidate tie-lines is analogous to (15) for candidate transmission lines. For notational convenience, indices v and 𝝉 are dropped from all continuous variables in ( 42)- (47).…”

“…and NEP [45][46][47][48][49][50][51][52][53][54][55]. The authors of [2][3][4] pay considerable attention to the prediction of uncertainties and the efficiency of the obtained generation expansion plans in a DC power flow-based framework.…”

“…The authors of [2][3][4] pay considerable attention to the prediction of uncertainties and the efficiency of the obtained generation expansion plans in a DC power flow-based framework. Also, TEP and NEP modelling in [5][6][7][8] and [47][48][49] are based on DC power flow, which generally neglects constraints related to energy loss, voltage magnitude, and reactive power. To overcome these shortfalls, first, some studies such as [30,31,41,[50][51][52][53][54] have modelled TEP, G-TEP, and NEP problems based on DC power flow equations and approximated transmission losses.…”
