In this study an attempt has been made to present the state of the art review on the research
work conceded in the areas of design, modeling and cost optimization aspects of power …

In this paper, the transmission planning state-of-the-art, which was obtained from the review
of the most interesting models found in the international technical literature, is presented …

In the planning and operation of power systems, actions are taken in different processes and
time‐horizons. The purpose of these actions is to secure a high reliability level. Although the …

This paper describes the application of an improved genetic algorithm (IGA) to deal with the
solution of the transmission network expansion planning (TNEP) problem. Genetic …

Long term planning in power transmission network expansion provides a well ordered and
profitable extension of power equipment and facilities to meet the expected electric energy …

Transmission expansion planning (TEP) has faced a significant change since the
introduction of deregulation. It becomes even more complicated. Algorithms have to be …

In its more visionary acceptation, the smart grid is a model of energy management in which
the users are engaged in producing energy as well as consuming it, while having …

Transmission network expansion planning (TNEP) is a basic part of power system planning
that determines where, when and how many new transmission lines should be added to the …

The electrical market scenario has changed drastically in the last decade. In the presence of
increased competition and less tolerant players, more sophisticated methods are required to …

This paper deals explicitly with the problem of proposing candidate lines (sometimes
referred to as technical alternatives) for Transmission Expansion Planning (TEP). Candidate …
