Power systems must be prepared to match the current growing demand for electrical energy. In this paper, transmission network plays an important role, delivering electric power generated in conventional plants load centers. For last 45 years, expansion planning (TNEP) problem has been widely studied; nowadays, TNEP, combined with new challenges, is being highly investigated, as researchers aim reach a better solution. This paper presents complete review and classification of most significant...

Federal energy regulatory commission (FERC) Order #2222 prescribes that distributed resources (DERs) with 100 kW or more capacity in aggregate should be allowed to participate organized electricity markets. Most aggregation is via a combination of disparate DER technologies such as solar, wind, storage, electric vehicles, and smart load units. Another stumbling block enabling participation DERs markets the limitation. However, there lack aggregator models literature gainfully allow are...

Many distribution networks are operating based on uniform energy price rate for all the system nodes. However, with high penetration of distributed resources (DER), storage (ES) and flexible demands (FD), there is a big opportunity to optimally operate networks.
