“…Alternatively, authors in [75] proposed to incorporate the external costs of energy generation and transmission (e.g., costs due to environmental and societal damages) into the marginal production costs so that it impacts the supply and demand equilibrium. Authors in [76][77][78][79] incorporated a cost term in the objective function to reflect emissions. In [80], a carbon tax term was added to the cost objective function.…”

Electric demand is steadily increasing, hence requiring continuous investments in modernizing, and expanding power grids worldwide. Traditionally, power system planning projects have considered minimizing the costs of capacity expansion and minimizing the amount of energy not served as the main objectives. With climate change policies enforcing the decommissioning of fossil-fuel-based generation, new clean and renewable generation technologies are being considered for power system capacity expansion projects. However, the environmental impacts of energy resources are not limited to carbon emissions and their contribution to global warming. In fact, every power generation technology can result in undesired impacts during its entire life cycle, which could negatively affect air quality, water resources, material resources, and/or human health. This paper provides an overview of how to assess the sustainability of power systems and power generation technologies based on life cycle assessment (LCA). A review of LCA, as applied to power systems and generation technologies, is presented with a discussion of general findings, challenges, and limitations. A review of the literature is then provided related to how sustainability objectives are currently incorporated in power grid design and capacity expansion models. Finally, shortcomings of the current models are discussed, along with opportunities for future research.

Electricity is a crucial component of sustainable development in developing countries, providing opportunities to supply low-cost clean energy to their populations. This paper presents a decision support tool for the Nigerian case, allowing users to rank different enhancement options to meet future scenarios. The tool enables feasibility checks on infrastructure capacity and can handle various generation options, including low-cost renewable resources. It is easy to use for non-experts and decision-makers and incorporates an optimal power flow algorithm to minimize costs. Demonstrated on a modified IEEE 30-bus system informed by Nigerian scenarios, this tool can provide policymakers with valuable insights for long-term investment decisions and facilitate the delivery of low-cost clean energy to developing countries.

“…Estudios recientes sobre el PEG han prestado especial atención al tema ambiental. Por ejemplo, en (Saboori y Reza, 2016), se aborda el PEG considerando captura de carbono; mientras en (Bent y Toole, 2012), se analizan alternativas de expansión en generación buscando la reducción de emisiones de CO2. La literatura técnica sobre el PEG es abundante.…”

Planeamiento Integrado de la Expansión en Generación y Transmisión Considerando Restricciones de Seguridad

Este artículo presenta un modelo para el Planeamiento Integrado de la Expansión en Generación y Transmisión (PIEGT) considerando restricciones de seguridad. El modelo propuesto combina el problema de planeamiento de expansión de la transmisión (PET) con el problema de planeamiento de la expansión en generación (PEG) adicionando restricciones de seguridad (criterio N-1). El problema resultante (PIEGT) es abordado usando un modelo de programación lineal entera mixta. La principal contribución del artículo es la introducción de restricciones de seguridad en el PIEGT. Los resultados muestran que incluir generación a pequeña escala en el planeamiento de redes de transmisión reduce el número de líneas y los costos totales en los se incurre para atender la demanda esperada. Se realizaron pruebas utilizando el sistema Garver de 6 barras y los sistemas IEEE de 24 y 48 barras, evidenciando la aplicabilidad del modelo propuesto.
