Coordinated generation and transmission expansion planning under deliberate attacks

What is it about?

This paper proposes a static model for coordinated generation and transmission expansion planning (CGTEP). While reducing the cost of investment, operation and energy not served within the system, the model aims to mitigate the vulnerability of power system against physical deliberate attacks in the horizon of planning. The physical deliberate attacks and their subsequent impacts are also assessed through scenario building procedure. To this end, each scenario in any given month is built as an attack plan targeting transmission system and accordingly they are assigned weights proportional to the consequent damage inflicted on the power system.

Why is it important?

- To provide an MILP model for coordinating generation and transmission expansion schemes to reinforce the power system against physical deliberate attacks, - To provide a scenario building procedure for physical deliberate attacks in which the annual load variations impacts on attacks and resulted scenarios are considered, - To consider multiple attack scenarios in the proposed planning framework (that are weighted proportional to their effective inflicting damage on the power system) in a yearly horizon,
