            Abstract : 
The authors are focusing on transmission network expansion planning (TNEP) based on particle swarm optimization (PSO) method. The development algorithm has been implemented within a software tool. Two case studies have been used to present the results: IEEE 24 RTS (well-known from the literature) and 25 buses test power system (developed within the Power Systems Department). The developed methodology is able to be applied in case of a complex power system.
