description Due to continuous growth in electric demand and increasing connection of renewable energy, the power systems are being operated with smaller stability margins. Therefore, a sufficient loading margin is essential to maintain the system secure and ensure voltage stability. To this end, this paper studies the joint optimization of transmission capacity and wind power investment problem, the unique feature of which is incorporating voltage stability margin (VSM) in the planning model. A bi-level model has been formulated whose upper level minimizes the total investment and operation cost minus the weighted VSM. The lower level evaluates the VSM given the optimal expansion plan from the upper level. In addition, the stochastic nature of wind power and load can impact voltage stability. Thus, uncertainties related to intermittent wind generation and demand must be modeled. We use an approximated linear representation to model the AC power system at both levels of the problem. The duality theory (primal-dual formulation) is utilized to transform bi-level programming into single-level mathematical programming. The validity of the constructed methodology is demonstrated on the IEEE 24-bus RTS, which indicates the efficacy and feasibility of the presented model.
