Rolling Window Based Dynamic Transmission Network Expansion Planning
-
Ashu Verma
Dynamic transmission network expansion planning (DTNEP) decides when (which year) and where (which R.O.W.), the new lines are to be built so that the overall cost of the plan is minimum and the system is secure. Generally, this is done for a fixed time horizon window (3/5 years) at a time. DTNEP has been proved to be better than the incremental approach in which optimal investment plans are found out for each year separately. In DTNEP, 1st year and last/terminal years are given different treatment, and there is a complete disconnect between two DTNEP windows. Also DTNEP assumes that the conditions during optimization like the earlier year generation, transmission expansion plans get\ executed exactly as per plan &/or the load forecast for the entire period remains unchanged. However, it is well known that this is generally not true. In view of above, this paper presents a rolling window based approach which treats every year of investment in exactly the same fashion. It also has an inherent capability to take care of such changes. It involves successive, overlapping DTNEP for 3/5 years planning horizon. A harmony search algorithm is used for the solution of the problem. Results for two test systems have been obtained to demonstrate the potential of the algorithm.
