OVERVIEW OF TRANSMISSION EXPANSION PLANNING

Abstract

The objective main of transmission expansion planning (TEP) decided the local to be planed and expanded, the expanded power, investment cost, the reliability index to be improved. The TEP problem is a large-scale, complex and a mixed integer non-linear problem. A good solution of TEP is very important in power system. Therefore, the optimization methods applied to bring practical effects. This study presents the overview of TEP problem from different aspects such as, solving methods, reliability, uncertainty and security, electricity market, and from the modeling prospective in order to facilitate the other researcher’s works in this hot area to get a feasible algorithm academically and commercially. This paper aims essentially at presenting the literature overview of the TEP procedure.
