Abstract Details

2018, Doctor of Philosophy, Ohio State University, Electrical and Computer Engineering.
A well-planned electric transmission network is essential for attaining an effective electricity market and the reliable operation of the associated power system. In this dissertation, we address the transmission expansion planning (TEP) problem. The goal of the thesis work is to develop models and algorithms to help system planners to identify optimal investments in the transmission network. First, we propose a candidate-line selection algorithm based on a set of systematic rules to generate an appropriate candidate-line set for TEP studies. The expertise of system planners and the characteristics of a network are both considered for candidate-line selection. Second, we develop an adaptive robust stochastic optimization model for TEP problems that specifically differentiates long- and short-term uncertainties. The long-term uncertainty pertains to year-to-year changes including the peak demand and available generating capacity of the system during the planning target year. Then, within the target year, the short-term uncertainty pertains to the production of weather-dependent renewable capacity and the load. Next, we expand the adaptive robust stochastic optimization model to consider the coordinated investment in transmission and storage facilities. Such model provides an effective tool to identify the best trade-off between these two types of facilities. Finally, we conclude by providing conclusions, contributions and suggestions for future work.
