Optimal Generation Expansion Planning for Electric Utilities Using Decomposition and Probabilistic Simulation Techniques

Three related methods are presented for determining the least-cost generating capacity investments required to meet given future demands for electricity. The models are based on application of large-scale mathematical programming decomposition techniques. In the first method, decomposition technique...
