A Search Method for Power Transmission System Planning Problem in Ben Tre Province, Vietnam

Energy is one of the essential factors for the existence and development of society and is also an issue that attracts the attention of all countries at all times. It is impossible to imagine a day when energy no longer exists in human activities, especially in this day and age. In the era when science and technology are developing more and more, people have gradually restored nature and mastered their lives. Power system planning and expansion are one of the most important tasks for power system managers and operators. This study proposes the application of a transmission system expansion method that not only meets the requirements of long-term load prediction but also satisfies the reliability standard of the transmission system with the objective function of minimizing total investment cost. The algorithm is built on the integer optimization function and uses the optimal solution according to the bound and branch method.
