Summary:

We propose a transmission expansion planning methodology that explicitly considers uncertainty in facility implementation times for regulatory purposes, to ensure that the decisions about what transmission facilities to build and when to initiate their implementation are correctly made. The resulting expansion plan is optimally adjusted to (or protected from) these uncertainties and, therefore, implementation delays. The approach is based on mixed integer linear programming and applied to a case study.


Layman's summary:

Proponemos una metodología de planificación de la expansión de la transmisión que considera explícitamente la incertidumbre en los tiempos de implementación de las instalaciones con fines regulatorios, para garantizar que las decisiones sobre qué instalaciones de transmisión construir y cuándo iniciar su implementación se tomen correctamente. El plan de expansión resultante se ajusta de manera óptima a estas incertidumbres y, por lo tanto, de los retrasos en la implementación. El enfoque se basa en la programación lineal entera mixta y se aplica a un estudio de caso.
