EBA_630 | Integrated System Planning and Capacity Expansion Plan Strategies --
In an integrated system planning approach, the generation and transmission and distribution planning tasks are combined. This is however more than performing one after the other. For each generation plan, the impact on the required transmission and distribution network topology is assessed. When the main goal is decarbonization, the optimal generation mix to achieve this goal may however lead to prohibitive grid investments costs. Hence, an iterative approach is to be adopted where a good trade-off over a set of KPI’s is found, for example between decarbonization and network reinforcement cost. It is important to understand that the set of target KPIs and their individual prioritization is different for every customer and project, and that a clear alignment on this needs to take place.
• Generation planning with a holistic view on energy carrier optimization
• Long-term T&D grid infrastructure investment planning
• Integrated system planning considering generation and grid infrastructure
• Decarbonization roadmap considering all energy efficiency relevant areas
