Optimization models for expansion planning of power systems aim to determine capacities,
investment timing, and location of power systems to satisfy the power demands while …

One of the big concerns when planning the expansion of power distribution systems (PDS)
is reliability. This is defined as the ability to continuously meet the load demand of …

Under the pressure of climate change, the transportation sector is under electrification, and
electric vehicles (EVs) are encouraged to reduce their reliance on fossil fuels. However, in …

To achieve high reliability, the urban distribution networks are mesh-constructed and radial-
operated, in which the outage load can be restored to adjacent feeders via tie-lines after …

Reliability is an essential factor in distribution networkt expansion planning. However,
standard distribution reliability assessment techniques rely on quantifying the impact of a pre …

This paper presents a stochastic Mixed-Integer Linear Programming (MILP) model
developed to address the collaborative expansion planning of modern multi-energy …

A new mathematical model for the multistage distribution network expansion planning
problem considering reliability is proposed in this paper. Decisions related to substation and …

Long-term distribution network planning (DNP) is considered as one of the most challenging
issues for distribution network operators (DNOs). By increasing EVs in cities, it has appeared …

Sectionalizing switches (SSs) and tie lines play essential roles in reducing the duration of
customer interruptions in electricity distribution networks. The effectiveness of such assets is …

This paper proposes a new optimization model and algorithm for long-term capacity
expansion planning of reliable power generation systems. The model optimizes both …
