In deregulated market environments, transmission system expansion planning becomes a troublesome task as transmission system operators lose their direct control over plant investments. Moreover, the increase in the share of renewable sources in electricity generation creates an uncertainty about future generation investments in terms of location and size. Assessment of transmission connection capacities, which determines the boundaries of new generation amount that can safely be connected from a region, is a mechanism that facilitates economic and reliable transmission expansion. In this study, use of two novel indices, namely region-based evaluation index (REI) and line-based evaluation index (LEI), is proposed for this purpose. REI aims to indicate the suitability of a region for new generation investments from a holistic point of view. Its calculation is based on the loadings of the lines under N-1 conditions, and their overloading probabilities. LEI, on the other hand, is usable to assess each variation of the considered line's loading. By tracking LEI of a line, one can follow if a line's loading exceeds limits during contingencies, and observe if the loading benefits from additional generation. It allows identifying the weak points of the analysed system. The proposed methodology was demonstrated on projected Turkish Transmission Network model of 2026.

Assessment of renewable energy based micro-grids for small communities Sadati, S.M. Sajed; Taylan, Onur; Sustainable Environment and Energy Systems (2016-7) Deploying renewable energy systems to supply electricity faces many challenges related to cost and variability of the renewable resources. One possible solution to these challenges is to hybridize renewable energy systems with conventional power systems and include energy storage systems. In this study, the feasibility analysis of two cases for electricity generation systems as (i) photovoltaic (PV)-battery-pumped hydro system (PHS) and (ii) PV-wind-battery are presented as a Renewable Energy Micro-Gr...
Design of a Centralized Microgrid Controller in Compliance with IEEE 2030.7 Standard Pouraltafi-Kheljan, Soheil; Göl, Murat; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2021-9-10) With the incorporation of renewable distributed energy resources and electric vehicles and battery storage systems into the conventional grid structure, the need for a microgrid and its control is emerging. IEEE 2030.7 Standard defines the Microgrid control system as a key element of microgrid regulating every aspect of it at the point-of-interconnection (POI) with the distribution system and autonomously manages operations such as transitions of operating modes. This system consists of control functions, w...
Promoting the Investment on IPPs for Optimal Grid Planning TOR, Osman Bulent; Güven, Ali Nezih; Shahidehpour, Mohammad (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2010-08-01) This paper presents a transmission expansion planning (TEP) model which coordinates investment decisions in monopolistic transmission and decentralized generator sectors. The proposed planning approach gauges transmission congestion and security constraints with respect to transmission investments while promoting investments on independent power produces (IPPs) through incentive payments. The paper includes discussions on incentive mechanisms and prioritization among qualified IPPs for several planning scen...
Assessment of applicability of performance-based contracts in Turkey for road maintenance services Ateş, Koray; Öztürk, Hande Işık; Department of Civil Engineering (2019) In the last decades, many countries have been in search of new contracting types for the road maintenance sector to reduce the cost by increasing efficiency. Performance-based contracting (PBC) for road maintenance services, which is one of the most popular approaches that has been preferred by many countries all over the world, has been reviewed in detail in this study. Although many studies and cases present the affirmative results of PBC, changing the road maintenance system from the traditional contract...
Optimizing the service policy of a mobile service provider through competitive online solutions to the 0/1 knapsack problem with dynamic capacity / Erkılıç, Tuğçe; Uysal Bıyıkoğlu, Elif; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2014) Demand for sustainable and environmentally friendly communication systems with energy efficient transmission schemes has increased eminently in the last decades. Resource allocation problems for energy harvesting networks have been studied and many offline solutions have been proposed. An online problem is examined throughout this thesis. Recent industry efforts to provide Internet service to areas deprived of telecommunications infrastructure have been the main inspiration for the studies conducted here. A...
