From the viewpoint of power system structures, planning methods can be classified into methods for regulated power systems and methods for deregulated power systems. The main objective of generation and transmission expansion in regulated power systems is to supply the load while maintaining the system reliability. Uncertainties are much more in deregulated power systems than regulated power systems. Probabilistic production simulation is one of the methods used for generation and transmission expansion planning [5]. Equivalent load duration curve (ELDC) is the most important concept in generation expansion. This curve integrates random outage capacity of generation units with random load. In fact ELDC is the same as load duration curve (LDC) in which the effect of forced outage of generators has been taken into consideration. Expansion criteria such as loss of load probability (LOLP), and expected energy not supplied (EENS) can be calculated using ELDC [5]-[6]. In this paper generation and transmission expansion planning of IEEE 300-BUS TEST SYSTEM [8] is investigated. In section II, computing ELDC using the expansion of random distribution series is described. In section III, ELDC is computed for all of the three electricity regions of IEEE 300-BUS TEST SYSTEM. To validate the results, ELDCs are calculated using convolution method [5] in section IV. In section V, expansion planning of IEEE 300-BUS TEST SYSTEM is investigated. Conclusion in section VI closes the paper.
Abstract— In this paper generation and transmission expansion planning of IEEE 300-BUS TEST SYSTEM using equivalent load duration curve is studied. To this end, equivalent load duration curve for each electricity region is calculated for years 1991 and 1996 using the expansion of the probability random distribution series. The criteria loss of load probability, expected energy not supplied, and capacity shortage are computed using equivalent load duration curves. Equivalent load duration curves and the above-mentioned criteria are calculated using convolution method to validate the results. Finally, generation and transmission expansion planning of the system is studied considering the computed criteria.
I. INTRODUCTION
T
o supply electric energy consumption, generation and
transmission should be developed while consumption increases. Expansion costs, reliability, uncertainties, and risk should be taken into account in expansion planning. Generation and transmission expansion planning methods can be classified from different viewpoints. From the viewpoint of uncertainties, expansion planning methods are classified into deterministic and nondeterministic ones [1][2]. In deterministic methods expansion is planned only for the worst system operating point without considering its occurrence probability. In nondeterministic methods, expansion is planned for all possible system operating points considering their occurrences probability. Therefore, nondeterministic methods can take past experiences and future expectations into account. Probabilistic load flow models [3], and probabilistic based reliability criteria [4], take lack of nonrandom reliabilities into account. Analyzing the decision is a suitable way for dynamic planning. Fuzzy decision making takes ambiguous data into account. From the viewpoint of expansion horizon, expansion planning methods are classified into static and dynamic methods [1]-[2]. In static planning, planners attempt to find the optimal expansion plans for a given year in planning horizon.

II. COMPUTING THE ELDC USING THE EXPANSION OF RANDOM DISTRIBUTION SERIES Random variables in power system are mostly dependent on load changes and random outage of generators. Random phenomena can be modeled by their distribution functions. Each probability distribution function can be described using its moments, central moments, or cumulants. We can suppose that random variable x is equal to xi with probabilityܲ . , order moment of random variable x, is defined as follows: J ൌ σ୧ ୧ ୧ J (1) Cumulants of different orders of random variable x can be calculated from the following recursive relation [5]: ଵ ൌ ଵ Jିଵ J െ ͳ J ൌ J െ σ୧ୀଵ ቀ ቁ Jିଵ ൈ ୧ ǡ J ʹ (2)

If x and y are two independent random variables, then: ሺ ሻ ൌ ሺሻ כሺሻ ሺ͵ሻ ሺሻ is probability density function of random variable x, and כis convolution operator. In order to reduce the amount of computation the following summability property of cumulants can be used: J ሺ ሻ ൌ J ሺሻ J ሺሻ (4) ሺ where ܭJ ሻ is J order cumulant of . Expansion of random distribution series such as GramCharlier Series or Edge Worth series expansion can be used to calculate the probability density function or ELDC. ELDCs can be expanded using Gram-Charlier and Edge Worth series. Expansion series are as follows respectively [5]: ஶ

D) Computing ELDC using the expansion of random distribution series When equivalent load cumulants were calculated, ELDC can be calculated using the expansion of random distribution series. For this purpose, the amount of x is increased from zero to ݔ௫ ܥ௧ step by step. ܥ௧ is the installed total capacity, and ݔ௫ is the peak of the load curve. Coefficients of series are calculated using relations (7) to (10) in each step, and then the amount of ܮሺሻ is determined using (5) or (6).

Fig. 1 shows the final ELDC and the amount of LOLP and EENS [5]. In order to calculate the capacity shortage, typical ELDC is given in Fig. 2 [5]. According to Fig. 2 peak of ELDC is equal to ሺܺ௫ +ܥ௧ ) then the shortage capacity is equal to ሺܺ௫ +ܥ௧ )െܥ௧ ൌ ܺ௫ . This method is very conservative and expensive to cover capacity shortage. In fact the total capacity should be two times higher than the peak load in the worst condition, i.e. where capacity outage is equal to ܺ௫ which is a very rare condition. In this paper expected value of capacity shortage is calculated and used as a criterion for expansion planning. Expected load duration curve (XLDC) is defined as follows:
(9) ౮మ ୢ
Generating units are ordered and numbered in an ascending manner according to their generation cost. Therefore units take load according to their generation cost. Unit outage is equivalent to the load increase amount to the forced outage capacity. So, the equivalent load is equal to the system's load plus forced outage capacity of generators. Therefore, using the summability property of cumulants, cumulants of equivalent load is calculated as follows: ሺ୧ሻ ܭJ ൌ ୪J σ୧୨ୀଵ ୨J (14) Equation (14) can be written as:

III. CALCULATION OF ELDC FOR IEEE 300-BUS TEST SYSTEM- SYSTEM 1, 2, 3 ELDC of each electricity region is calculated regarding its consumed load and the capacity of its generators [8], assuming the power input/output to other electricity regions is zero. In this section calculation of ELDC for system 3 is investigated. LDC for the year 1991 has been drawn in Fig. 3. Load hourly data, i.e. 8760 data, in 1991 have been used to draw this curve. This figure shows that maximum consumption power is 7054 MW in 1991, assuming forced outage rate equals zero. Since the installed capacity of the total system is 7398MW [8], EENS=0MW.h, LOLP=0% and EVCS=-344MW. There are about 16 generators in SYSTEM 3 [8]. In Fig. 3 cumulative capacity of generators has been shown with points on horizontal axis. If FOR of these units are considered in LDC, then ELDC will be obtained. To this end, at first, generators are ordered in ascending manner based their weighted bid during the year 1991 [8]. Then using the relations described in section II, ELDC is calculated. Using the expansion of Edge Worth and Gram-Charlier series, the calculated ELDC is illustrated in Fig. 4. It is assumed that the FOR of all units is equal to 0.1. Considering the calculated ELDC using the expansion of Edge worth series (Fig. 4) and considering that the total generation capacity of system 3 is 7398MW in 1991, LOLP = 3%, EENS = 97425MWh and EVCS = 395MW.

In order to determine the generation and transmission expansion in system 3, ELDC is calculated for 1996. Energy consumption growth in IEEE 300-BUS TEST SYSTEM is assumed about 7% per year. So, the load of different hours of the year 1996 can be defined as follows: ܲଵଽଽ = ܲଵଽଽଵ × ሺͳ ͲǤͲሻହ
(18)
Following the above-mentioned method, and assuming that the number of generators, forced outage rate and their capacities are constant, ELDC for the year 1996 is calculated. Fig. 5 shows ELDC for the year 1996. Installed capacity of the total system has been specified by a vertical line in Fig. 5. Considering this figure, EENS and LOLP in 1996 are 3819225MWh, 41% respectively and considering Fig. 6 EVCS is 3235MW. Table II shows LOLP, EENS and EVCS for each electricity region in the years 1991 and 1996.

A) Table II shows that all electricity regions except System 2 will be faced with generation shortage in 1996. Therefore, transmission expansion will not be able to resolve the problem of capacity shortage. To some extent, system 2 can supply its neighbor region, System 1 shortage, if there is enough available transmission capacity (ATC) from System 2 to System 1. Hence, since extra capacity of System 2 cannot cover the whole shortage of these regions, it is needed to expand the generation of these regions too. For generation in these regions we consider the probabilistic analysis of lifetime discounted costs of electrical energy if produced in coal-fired, gas-fired and nuclear plants. The cost of electricity generation was given by the following formula [9]:

Table III shows the results obtained from convolution method. Comparison of table II and table III shows that the calculated LOLP using convolution, Edge worth series, and Gram-charlier series are almost same. But calculated EENS by convolution method does not have enough accuracy, because in this method trapezoidal approximation with a great step is used [5]-[6]. Calculated EENS using the Edge worth series is more accurate than Gram-charlier series [7]. Using random distribution series in comparison with convolution method needs much less computation load and time to calculate ELDC. But in using random distribution series, if incorrect amount (one or more load data) is inserted in hourly load data mistakenly, ELDC will contain fluctuation and leads to false values for LOLP and EENS, while such a problem does not arise in convolution method. Fig. 7 shows ELDC of System 3 for the year 1996, computed using convolution method.

VI. CONCLUSION In order to develop generation and transmission of IEEE 300-BUS TEST SYSTEM for the years 1991 and 1996 are calculated. Then loss of load probability, expected energy not supplied, and expected value for capacity shortage. All of the three electricity regions have been computed. Suggestion for generation and transmission planning of IEEE 300-bus test system are made based on the computed planning criteria in each region which has been calculated regarding its capacity shortage.
H) System 3, 2 electricity regions have a low load factor (LF), LF= 63.70%, LF=63.23% respectively, their neighbor, System 1, has a higher LF, LF=71.25%. If transmission lines between two regions (System 2, System 3) has been exist and are reinforced then these two regions can be aggregated and considered as one region. ELDC of aggregated System 2 and System 3 and aggregated System 1 and System 2 and System 3 are shown in Fig. 9. Fig. 9 shows that if transmission lines between these two regions are reinforced, total EENS will decrease from 3828125 MWh to 221130 MWh. Reduction of FOR of generators is much less effective on EENS reduction if transmission lines between these two regions are reinforced. If transmission lines are not reinforced and FOR of generators are reduced from 0.1 to 0, the total reduction of EENS of System 2 and System 3 is equal to 1396704MWh. If transmission lines are reinforced and FORs are reduced from 0.1 to 0, the total EENS is more decreased. If transmission lines between three regions are reinforced then these three regions can be aggregated and considered as one region. Total EENS will decrease from 7261844 MWh to 0 MWh.

G) If generation expansion is not economic in an electricity region or with the presence of some limitations, generation expansion of these electricity regions should be accomplished on electricity region that has no limitations for generation expansion with enough ATC between sink and source electricity regions. If ATC is not enough, transmission should be expanded. To reduce the total costs an optimization should be done to find the optimal place for generation expansion considering the generation and transmission expansion costs.
