AC transmission network expansion planning considering losses

Abstract:

This paper proposes to solve the transmission network expansion planning problem (TNEP) using the AC model formulated with full non-linear load flow equations, incorporating the cost of losses in the transmission network. Additionally, the decomposed formulation finds the location and amount of the reactive compensation needed in the system. A comparison between Evolutionary Programming (EP) and a variation of EP with a Cultural Algorithm (CEP) is presented to solve this very complex optimization problem. The results are obtained using Garver's 6-bus test system and IEEE 24-bus test system.
