Abstract

A new network operation conditions creates new requirements for transmission planning which include electricity market figures and considerable integration of renewable generation. This paper focuses on transmission expansion planning techniques in a perfect competitive electricity market based on optimal power flows calculations with development planning and sustainability concept. For the proposed concept validation the Garvers´s 6-bus test system was used. The simulation and validation results show the possibility of the ACOPF/DCOPF models implementation to transmission planning tasks solution.
