  • Abstract
    In this paper we introduce a new heuristic algorithm to the centralized long-term transmission system expansion planning problem. The proposed method introduces cuts (new constraints) to the mathematical model to force generating feasible solutions to the DC model. The application of the strategy resulted in good solutions for the DC model. The computational results demonstrate the efficiency of the proposed method when applied to IEEE-24 bus system, Brazilian Southern System and Colombian system.
