Summary:
This paper addresses the transmission network expansion planning problem considering storage units under uncertain demand and generation capacity. A two-stage adaptive robust optimization framework is adopted whereby short- and long-term uncertainties are accounted for. This work differs from previously reported solutions in an important aspect, namely, we include binary recourse variables to avoid the simultaneous charging and discharging of storage units once uncertainty is revealed. Two-stage robust optimization with discrete recourse problems is a challenging task, so we propose using a nested column-and-constraint generation algorithm to solve the resulting problem. This algorithm guarantees convergence to the global optimum in a finite number of iterations. The performance of the proposed algorithm is illustrated using the Garver's test system.
Keywords: Storage units, transmission network expansion planning, two-stage robust optimization, uncertainty.
