Transmission networks planning using quadratic programming

ABSTRACT In this paper, the problem of transmission networks expansion has been solved by considering the cost of losses as well as the cost of investment in the objective function. The problem is solved using an exact quadratic programming technique. This new formulation has been applied to a 6- bus system. The final configurations, which are characterized by minimum cost of losses show that as the cost of the Kwh increases, the total system cost decreases.
