Abstract

This chapter introduces models for power transmission system enhancement by integrating economic analysis of the transmission cost to accommodate an informed business decision. Continuous and discrete control schemes are proposed as an alternative to transmission expansion to optimize cost effectiveness. Furthermore, this chapter investigates complex planning issues such as transmission limits and general models of series and shunt capacitor switching that allow the planner to carry out an analysis of electricity market efficiency using alternate transmission expansion scenarios. An interesting conclusion is provided that advocates the design of an electricity market based on control expansion efficiency.
