Reliability-Constrained Power System Expansion Planning: A Stochastic Risk-Averse Optimization Approach IEEE Transactions on Power Systems, 2019 This work presents a methodology to incorporate reliability constraints in the optimal power systems expansion planning problem. Besides Loss Of Load Probability (LOLP) and Expected Power Not Supplied (EPNS), traditionally used in power systems, this work proposes the use…

Combinatorial and Simultaneous Descending Auctions for Electricity Transmission Concessions IEEE Transactions on Power Systems, 2017 Many countries use auctions to select agents to which transmission concessions are awarded. Where multiple concessions are auctioned each year, there are potential benefits, for transcos and grid users, in using auction protocols allowing risk-averse bidders to explicitly consider complementary…
