Abstract :
This paper presents an improved Transport Model called Piecewise Linear Transport Model (PLT). It models physical load flows with a precision comparable to that of the DC model while allowing capacity expansion problems to be solved as Linear Programs (LPs) as is the case for the conventional Transport Model. In addition, case studies are conducted to compare the model with conventional load flow models.
