PROJECT TITLE :

Reliability-Constrained Robust Power System Expansion Planning

ABSTRACT:

This paper presents a tri-level reliability-constrained robust power system expansion coming up with (SEP) framework modeling the uncertainty of electricity demand, wind power generation, and availability of units and contours. In the proposed tri-level SEP model, electricity demand and wind power generation being continuous uncertain variables are modeled by bounded intervals and availability of units and features being discrete uncertain variables are modeled by chance distributions. Simulation results on the Garver 6-bus, the IEEE 24-bus, and also the IEEE seventy three-bus check systems ensure the effectiveness of the proposed tri-level framework to cope with multi-fold planning uncertainties.
