The present book addresses various power system planning issues for
professionals as well as senior level and postgraduate students.
Its emphasis is on long-term issues, although much of the ideas may
be used for short and mid-term cases, with some modifications.
Back-up materials are provided in twelve appendices of the book.
The readers can use the numerous examples presented within the
chapters and problems at the end of the chapters, to make sure that
the materials are adequately followed up. Based on what Matlab
provides as a powerful package for students and professional, some
of the examples and the problems are solved in using M-files
especially developed and attached for this purpose. This adds a
unique feature to the book for in-depth understanding of the
materials, sometimes, difficult to apprehend mathematically.
Chapter 1 provides an introduction to Power System Planning (PSP)
issues and basic principles. As most of PSP problems are modeled as
optimization problems, optimization techniques are covered in some
details in Chapter 2. Moreover, PSP decision makings are based on
both technical and economic considerations, so economic principles
are briefly reviewed in Chapter 3. As a basic requirement of PSP
studies, the load has to be known. Therefore, load forecasting is
presented in Chapter 4. Single bus Generation Expansion Planning
(GEP) problem is described in Chapter 5. This study is performed
using WASP-IV, developed by International Atomic Energy Agency. The
study ignores the grid structure. A Multi-bus GEP problem is
discussed in Chapter 6 in which the transmission effects are,
somehow, accounted for. The results of single bus GEP is used as an
input to this problem. SEP problem is fully presented in Chapter 7.
Chapter 8 devotes to Network Expansion Planning (NEP) problem, in
which the network is planned. The results of NEP, somehow, fixes
the network structure. Some practical considerations and
improvements such as multi-voltage cases are discussed in Chapter
9. As NEP study is typically based on some simplifying assumptions
and Direct Current Load Flow (DCLF) analysis, detailed Reactive
Power Planning (RPP) study is finally presented in Chapter 10, to
guarantee acceptable ACLF performance during normal as well as
contingency conditions. This, somehow, concludes the basic PSP
problem. The changing environments due to power system
restructuring dictate some uncertainties on PSP issues. It is shown
in Chapter 11 that how these uncertainties can be accounted for.
Although is intended to be a text book, PSP is a research oriented
topic, too. That is why Chapter 12 is devoted to research trends in
PSP. The chapters conclude with a comprehensive example in Chapter
13, showing the step-by-step solution of a practical case.
