Generation expansion planning consists of finding the optimal long-term plan for the
construction of new generation capacity subject to various economic and technical …

The integration of more variable renewable energy sources (vRES) like wind and solar
photovoltaics (PV) is expected to play a significant role in reducing carbon dioxide …

Power systems are planned such that they have adequate generation capacity to meet the
load, according to a defined reliability target. The increase in the penetration of wind …

With the increasing proportion of renewable energy represented by photovoltaic (PV) and
wind power in the grid, the existing grid has faced some new challenges owing to is …

The use of electrical energy storage (EES) and demand response (DR) to support system
capacity is attracting increasing attention. However, little work has been done to investigate …

As the share of renewable energy sources in the energy mix increases, weather-dependent
variations in several time scales will have a significant impact on the power system. One way …

The concept of capacity credit (CC) has been proposed to evaluate the contribution of
generators for system adequacy since the 1960s. CC determines the extent to which the …

It's important to have objective metrics for assessing the value of solar-city plans in terms of
their ability to avoid fossil-fuel based generation. The need is further augmented by the …

Traditionally, capacity has been procured to meet system peak load with no formal regard for
flexibility characteristics. However, this planning paradigm is shifting, with increasing …

It is not uncommon that the power generation sector accounts for the most greenhouse gas
(GHG) emissions in a country, and an increasing attention has been placed on the …
