Abstract

The power system planning in restructured environment is different from planning researches in traditional power systems. In this environment, the independent entities are responsible for their operation and planning decisions, by considering other entity’s decision makings. So, the planning problem modeling could not be solved by optimizing all entities, together. Basically, the planning problem could be considered as a hierarchical problem and should follow stackelberg game modeling structure. The optimization problems in these conditions are a multi-layer problem and the upper level made their choices by considering lower level decisions. In this thesis, some models are given for considering the supervisory role of ISO in power system planning area. These models want to improve the security in the network and the competition in the power market. The proposed models use mathematical modelling methods and have been formed into complementarity multi-layer optimization structures. The used technique could assist the researchers or the system planners to choose the informed and better decisions. Also, some usual competition behaviors of the producers in power market have been simulated for investigating of the model’s capability and the outputs of the system in these conditions. Any decomposition technique or iteration-based method has been used in this research. Also, the performance of each entity has modeled with acceptable approximations. The proposed models contain some bi-level MPECs and a tri-level model with an EPEC inside. All the proposed models have applied to different case studies for demonstrating the well-functioning and the performance of them.
