Abstract :

This paper presents the generation and transmission expansion planning (GTEP) in electricity and gas networks. These networks supply electricity, heat, and gas consumption energies. Scheme minimizes the generation and transmission planning cost (total investment cost and expected operating cost). It is constrained to the investment budget and the planning model of the mentioned elements, the power flow equations of electricity and gas networks, the operation limits of the networks, and the limitation on generation capability. In the following, a linear approximation model considering quadratically objective function is obtained. Furthermore, stochastic optimization is adopted to model the uncertainty of load and renewable power. In this model, the concurrent consideration of electrical and gas networks with regard to fulfilments of simultaneous electrical-gas-thermal consumers is considered as a novel model into the model. Finally, the extracted numerical results confirm the capability of the proposed scheme in improving the operation and economic of the mentioned networks using optimal generation and transmission planning.
