Abstract :
A package for the long-term optimal expansion planning of a generation system with renewable energy sources operating in parallel with a large-scale network is presented. The algorithm utilizes meteorological data, load demand data, and estimated economical parameters and determines the candidate plans for the expansion period. A forward dynamic programming algorithm is utilized to determine the optimal plan. Results from the application of the method to a local grid are presented
