Transmission expansion planning: A discussion on reliability and “N−1” security criteria

This paper proposes a methodology to solve the multi-stage transmission expansion planning (TEP) problem based on metaheuristic optimization techniques, as load and generation evolve. A discussion on how to consider security criteria using the well-known deterministic “N−1” approach and the probabilistic reliability-based method is presented through a case study system.
