  7. Abstract:
  8. The significant growth of wind generation in power systems, in form of wind farms connected to transmission networks, is changing the present transmission reinforcement planning in the mid-term horizon and transmission expansion planning in the long-term horizon approaches. In this thesis, the optimal wind farms integration to the power system and uncertainty of wind farms output power are considered as two major items in the proposed models and the novel transmission reinforcement and expansion planning models considering optimal wind farms integration are presented. According to these models, the optimal capacity of wind farms and wind farms lines, and the new transmission lines of the network are determined taking into account the power system economical and security issues. The main goal of these models is to study the effects of wind farms optimal integration on the output of transmission network reinforcement and expansion models. Moreover, the uncertainty of wind farms generation has significant effects on the optimal transmission plans and increase the investment risk. So, in this study, a risk valuation model based on IGDT is proposed according to the risk-averse and risk-taking investment strategies.
