Transmission network expansion planning with adaptive particle swarm optimization

Transmission network expansion planning is a very important problem to power system. The problem is very complex due to its mixed integer, non linear, non convex nature. Meta heuristic techniques are known to provide good/ optimal solutions for such type of combinatorial problems. In light of above, this paper presents an adaptive particle swarm optimization algorithm for transmission network expansion planning Results for IEEE 24 bus system are taken to confirm the potential of the proposed algorithm.
