Distribution Networks Expansion Planning Incorporating Smart Grid Technologies, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Fotuhi-Firuzabad, Mahmud (Supervisor)
Abstract
Planning of distribution networks is usually accomplished using a cost-based conventional model that minimizes the total cost of construction and reinforcement of substations and feeders. The resulted expansion plan designed by this cost-based model is not necessarily the best choice for an electrical distribution company in the nowadays deregulated structure. This happening is mainly due to the fact that the utility seeks to maximize its profit in this competitive environment. On the other hand, this model does not consider the upcoming new challenges ahead of distribution systems, such as smart grid and automation. This thesis presents a novel profit-based model for multi-stage...
