Generation Expansion Planning (GEP) models considering uncertainties on renewable energy resources (RES)

Generation Expansion Planning (GEP) models considering uncertainties on renewable energy resources (RES)

Files description

The following files solve the GEP problem for three scenarios of wind and solar production using different approaches:

• Stochastic-GEP.gms: Two-Stage Stochastic Generation Expansion Planning
• Stochastic-GEP-Benders.gms: Two-Stage Stochastic Generation Expansion Planning - Using Benders
• Stochastic-GEP-Benders-Multicut.gms: Two-Stage Stochastic Generation Expansion Planning - Using Benders Multicut
• Stochastic-GEP-LR.gms: Two-Stage Stochastic Generation Expansion Planning - Using Lagrangian Relaxation (LR)
• Stochastic-GEP-Multistage.gms: Multi-Stage Stochastic Generation Expansion Planning
• SRO-GEP.gms: Single-Stage Static Robust Optimization (SRO) or Scenario-based RO -Generation Expansion Planning (GEP)
• ARO-GEP.gms: Two-Stage Adaptive Robust Optimization (ARO)-Generation Expansion Planning (GEP)
• WCS-GEP.gms: Worst Case Scenario -Generation Expansion Planning (GEP)
• Bilevel-Centralized-GEPM.gms: The Bilevel formulation Deterministic Single-Node Static Generation Expansion Planning Model (GEPM)

The models are developed in GAMS and solved with CPLEX, but you could use any other solver (e.g., GUROBI, Cbc).

eObjFun

$$ \displaystyle{\min{vTotCost = vInvCost + vOpeCost}} $$

eInvCost

$$ vInvCost = \displaystyle \sum_{g}(pInvCost_{g} \cdot pUnitCap_{g} \cdot vGenInv_{g}) $$

eOpeCost

$$ vOpeCost = pWeight \cdot {\left(\displaystyle \sum_{sc}pScProb_{sc}\cdot{\left(\sum_{g,p}pVarCost_{g} \cdot vGenProd_{g,p,sc} + \sum_{p,sc}pVOLL \cdot vLossLoad_{p,sc}\right)}\right)} $$

eBalance

$$ \displaystyle \sum_{g}vGenProd_{g,p,sc} + vLossLoad_{p,sc} = pDemand_{p} \quad \forall{p,sc} $$

eMaxProd

$$ vGenProd_{g,p,sc} \leq pUnitCap_{g} \cdot vGenInv_{g} \quad \forall{g,p,sc} $$

eRenProd

$$ vGenProd_{r,p,sc} \leq pRenProf_{r,p,sc} \cdot pUnitCap_{r} \cdot vGenInv_{r} \quad \forall{r,p,sc} $$

Bounds

$vGenProd_{g,p,sc}\geq 0 ~ \forall g, p, sc $

$vLossLoad_{p,sc}\geq 0 ~ \forall p, sc $

$vGenInv_{g} \in \mathbb{Z}^{+} ~ \forall g $
