Resumen:
This paper proposes a two-stage robust optimization model for the transmission network expansion planning problem. Long-term uncertainties in the peak demand and generation capacity are modeled using confidence bounds, while the short-term variability of demand and renewable production is modeled using a set of representative days. As a distinctive feature, this work takes into account the non-convex operation of conventional generating units and storage facilities, which results in a two-stage robust optimization model with a discrete recourse problem. The resulting problem is solved using a nested column-and-constraint generation algorithm that guarantees convergence to the global optimum in a finite number of iterations. An illustrative example and a case study are used to show the performance of the proposed approach. Numerical results show that neglecting the non-convex operation of conventional generating units and storage facilities leads to suboptimal expansion decisions.
