Abstract Transmission Expansion Planning (TEP), the problem of deciding the new
transmission lines that should be added to an existing transmission network in order to …

This paper develops a novel hybrid algorithm for solving transmission expansion planning
(TEP) problems in electric power networks. Raising the awareness about immense …

Long term planning in power transmission network expansion provides a well ordered and
profitable extension of power equipment and facilities to meet the expected electric energy …

We propose a novel two-phase bounding and decomposition approach to compute optimal
and near-optimal solutions to large-scale mixed-integer investment planning problems that …

Renewable generation and distributed resources are becoming increasingly relevant due to
their various advantages and intense regulatory support. Therefore, there is a need to …

This paper is concerned with the generation and transmission expansion planning of large-
scale energy systems with high penetration of renewable energy sources. Since expansion …

This paper deals explicitly with the problem of proposing candidate lines (sometimes
referred to as technical alternatives) for Transmission Expansion Planning (TEP). Candidate …

The emergence of a great number of regional planning projects worldwide has considerably
increased the complexity and relevance of transmission expansion planning, prompting …

Due to the accelerated growth of electricity demand, the scarcity of primary resources to
produce electricity, and technological advances in recent years, electricity companies must …
