Desenvolvimento de modelos e algoritmos sequenciais e paralelos para o planejamento da expansão de sistemas de transmissão de energia elétrica

Abstract

The main objective of this study is to propose a new methodology to deal with the long-term transmission system expansion planning with multiple generation dispatch scenarios problem (TEP-MDG). With the methodology proposed in this thesis we aim to build expansion plans with minimum investment cost and also capable of meeting the new demands of modern electrical systems, such as uncertainty about the future generation scenarios and congestion in the transmission systems. By modeling the TEP-MDG aiming to build transmission networks that circumvent the uncertainties regarding the future generation scenarios and simultaneously minimize the cost of investment for transmission networks expansion, the planner faces a multiobjective optimization problem. One can find various algorithms that aim to deal with multiobjective problems in the literature of operations research. In this thesis, we apply two of these algorithms: Nondominated Sorting Genetic Algorithms-II (NSGA-II
