  5. The main motivation of this study is to address the challenges due to high penetration of renewable distributed energy resources (DERs) and efficiently benefit from DERs in distribution system planning (DSP). This paper considers a decentralized enhanced platform for DSP which is coordinated with bulk power system planning (PSP) to keep the optimality and security of the whole power system. In the proposed coordinated approach, distribution system operators (DSOs) plan and operate DERs to upgrade their local distribution areas (LDAs), supply forecasting local load growth, and avoid or defer costly generation and transmission expansion planning at the bulk power system. The proposed DSP model consists of two main loops pertaining to the DSO's planning and operation in the first loop and the ISO's simulated operation in the second loop. The Benders decomposition (BD) is employed to iteratively solve the problems. The robust and stochastic programming are used for modelling uncertainties. The DSP problem is modelled as a mixed-integer linear problem (MILP). The CPLEX solver in GAMS is applied to the modified 24-bus IEEE RTS in a 10-year horizon for numerical validation. The results show the performance of the proposed approach in reducing the total cost of supplying growing loads. © The Institution of Engineering and Technology 2019
