Title
Overview Of Electric Energy Distribution Networks Expansion Planning
Abstract
Planning of the electric distribution networks is complex and about upgrading the system to satisfy the demand and constraints with the best economic plan. The planning alternatives include the expansion of substations, installing new distributed generation (DG) facilities, upgrading distribution feeders, etc. In the modern networks, distribution planners must gain the confidence of the reversibility of the investment where renewable energy resources (RERs) inject clean and cost-effective electrical power to respond to the rising demand and satisfy environmental standards. This paper is an exhaustive review on the distribution network expansion planning (DEP) including the modelling of DEP (possible objective functions, problem constraints, different horizon time, and problem variables), optimization model (single/multi-objective), the expansion of distributed energy resources (DERs), problem uncertainties, etc. We discuss the requirements of integrated energy district master planning to avoid conflicts between the goal of independence of district planning on energy, e.g. heat and electricity, and that of dependencies on the local electric utilities regarding instant power balance and stability services. Finally, we describe the primary future R&D trends in the field of distribution network planning.
