Optimization Model for Coordinated Multistage Planning of the Generation-Transmission System with Demand Forecasting Using Neural Networks
摘要
The implementation of a multistate planning model for power generation-transmission expansion, as opposed to traditional independent planning frameworks, addresses the escalating energy demand and the need for efficient planning. This study applies a multistate DC-planning model to the 230 kV network of Ecuador’s National Interconnected System (NIS), aiming to minimize operational costs and the construction of new infrastructure. By employing a mixed-integer nonlinear programming (MINLP) approach and a neural network-generated demand forecasts, the electricity expansion spanning the period from 2023 to 2033 is analyzed. This methodology facilitates the delineation of expansion zones, thereby mitigating long-term costs.
