AbstractAn optimization model is developed to identify the optimal future expansion plan of the transmission network for long term planning and the locations of the future generation plants. The future expansions are selected from the given set of right of ways and the locations of the future generation plants are selected from the set of predetermined feasible locations. This model considers the (N-1) reliability criterion which is approximated to (N-1) capacity limit of each branch of the network. The model is further simplified by considering the bal~nce of inflow and outflow of power at each node instead of considering a load-flow relationship. A Lagrange relaxation method is applied to decompose the problem. The optimization model is applied for three cases of the Sri Lanka power system which are based on different generation policies.
