Abstract
This paper presents solutions to Generation
Expansion Planning (GEP) problem for an Indian state,
Telangana power system. GEP is a highly constrained and
non-linear optimization problem. In early days, the
electricity generation was mostly from conventional types
of plants and the GEP problems were solved with only
conventional plants as expansion candidate plants which
emit Green House Gases (GHG) and other pollutants lead
to environmental pollution. Due to higher redu ction rate
of fossil fuels and pollution impacts, it is important to
consider Renewable Energy Sources (RES) such as wind,
solar, biomass etc., as alternatives for planning the future
power system. In this research study, Long-range Energy
Alternative Planning (LEAP) software has been used for
solving the GEP problem for the state of Telangana for
fifteen years from 2016 to 2030. The various scenarios are
proposed such as Green House Gases Mitigation Scenario
(GHGMS), Low Demand Growth Scenario (LDGS) and
two different High Demand Growth Scenarios (HDGS1
and HDGS2) in addition to Reference Scenario (REFS). In
all scenarios, the various system performance factors like
installed capacity required, emission of pollutants,
reliability and total cost are analyzed using LEAP.
