Abstract— Expansion planning strategies in power systems have been seriously influenced by disintegration of these systems during the past decade. Transmission Expansion Planning (TEP) is one of the most important parts of expansion planning...

Abstract—Transmission expansion planning (TEP) is one of the most important parts of expansion planning in power systems. Competition in these systems has resulted in essential changes in TEP models and criteria. While methods introduced so far...

A new market based approach for transmission expansion planning in deregulated

environments is presented in this paper. In this approach, transmission-planning decisions are made

based on the electric power market conditions. The main...

The unbundling of the electricity industry introduced new uncertainties and escalated the existing ones in transmission expansion planning. In this paper, a multi-stage transmission expansion methodology is presented using a multi...
