Abstract

As detailed in Chap. 5, GEP is, in fact, the process of determining the generation requirements for a system so that the loads can be satisfied in an efficient (typically the most economical) manner while various technical or non-technical constraints are met. The approach presented in Chap. 5 was based on single bus representation of the system. In other words, we basically ignored the transmission system and found out the total generation requirements based on an optimization model.

Notes

  1. 1.

    Think of an alternative index in which the number of generation units is, somehow, accounted for.

  2. 2.

    γ is the average cost per unit length of a line.

  3. 3.

    b i is expressed in terms of loading of an overloaded line. If for instance, the capacity of a line is 200 MVA and its loading is 240 MVA, b i is 1.2.

  • The references addressed for this chapter are the same as those introduced in Chap. 5. [1] is a reference book about power system reliability evaluation. [2] introduces WASP, the package developed by IAEA for GEP. [3] covers some practical issues for GEP in France at the time of publication. The economic parameters affecting GEP are discussed in [4]. Some mathematical based algorithms for GEP are covered in [5–7], while some non-mathematical based ones are introduced in [8–10]. Review and comparison of these algorithms are given in [11, 12]. If GEP and TEP are to be analyzed together, the problem becomes highly complex. Some algorithms are covered in [13–19].
