“…Numerous strategies could be used to increase transmission capacity while bypassing some of the regulatory hurdles that would lead to project delays and contingencies. Reed et al review several technical options to upgrade or repurpose existing transmission lines to increase their capacity without the environmental and social disturbances of running new lines [20]. In some circumstances, new lines can be installed along existing transmission corridors (i.e., where lines and poles are physically located), which can reduce the costs and delays associated with constructing transmission infrastructure where none existed previously.…”

“…In some circumstances, new lines can be installed along existing transmission corridors (i.e., where lines and poles are physically located), which can reduce the costs and delays associated with constructing transmission infrastructure where none existed previously. State planners and RTOs should demonstrate that existing rights-of-way and infrastructure are already at capacity before proposing to expand transmission capacity with additional lines [20].…”

Decarbonization and degrading infrastructure present twin challenges to the aging U.S. electrical grid, which is vital to the economy, national security, and public well-being. This article addresses challenges around transmission planning processes and policy options to improve these. Specifically, long-term regional transmission planning is hindered by conflicts over the equitable distribution of costs incurred and the benefits achieved by new development, as well as siting and permitting challenges. Policy changes that require comprehensive estimation of benefits and joint trans-regional evaluation can promote projects that fulfill grid requirements effectively and economically. In addition, increased regulatory direction and consideration for non-transmission alternatives (NTAs) and related distribution technologies could defer or replace the need for new transmission.

“…Increasing the capacity of electrical networks and extending transmission lines to feed farther-off electrical loads raise the costs of producing electrical energy as well as transmission-distribution losses due to the growing electricity demand [7]. Distributed generation which mostly employs renewable resources like solar and wind power is a good opportunity to solve these problems.…”

Microgrids usually employ distributed energy resources such as wind turbines, solar photovoltaic modules, etc. When multiple distributed generation resources with different features are used in microgrids, managing these resources becomes an important problem. The generated power of solar photovoltaic modules and wind turbines used in microgrids is constantly changing with solar irradiation and wind speed. Due to this impermanent and uncertain nature of renewable energy resources, generally, energy storage systems are employed in microgrid systems. To control the distributed energy resources and energy storage units and sustain the supply and demand balance within the microgrid and provide sustainable and reliable energy to the loads, energy management systems are used. Many methods are used to realize and optimize energy management in microgrids. This review article provides a comparative and critical analysis of the energy management systems used in microgrids. The energy management system can be tailored for different purposes, which are also discussed in detail. Additionally, various uncertainty measurement methods are summarized to manage the variability and intermittency of renewable energy sources and load demand. Finally, some thoughts about potential future directions and practical applications are given.
