transmission expansion planning with allocation of fixed series compensations.

What is it about?

Integration of wind resources into the power systems has increased the technical and financial concerns in transmission expansion planning. In this paper, a stochastic structure is demonstrated for transmission expansion planning with allocation of fixed series compensation under wind and load uncertainties.

Why is it important?

Fixed series compensations have the ability to increase the transfer capacity of transmission lines. However, their significance benefit for transmission expansion planning is their higher effectiveness in power dispatching, which results in lower investment costs, compared to planning without fixed series compensations.
