Evaluating The Effects of Renewable Energy Resources from Passive Defense and Social Welfare perspectives in The Context of Expansion Planning

Authors

Abstract

Power industry, as an infrastructure industry, plays a critical role in economic progress and social welfare. In this context, continuous load meeting, reliable service, to keep low energy price, achieving the quality standards, environmental protection and preservation of strategic position of power systems are contingent upon the precise planning which should be considered by relative responsible. It this paper, the importance of incorporating the renewable energy resources into the expansion planning is evaluated from two perspectives: first, from the passive defense viewpoint, i.e. decentralization of power plants or small-scale production, second, from social welfare viewpoint, including environmental considerations and the released emission from generation power sector. Accordingly, first, a comprehensive model for generation expansion planning is presented then, regarding the obtained results from applying the gravitational search algorithm to the proposed model, the perspectives mentioned above are evaluated.
