Abstract :
A hybrid genetic algorithm (GA)–simulated annealing (SA) approach, incorporating Differential Evolution (DE), fencing method (FM) as well as implicit enumeration method (IEM) is proposed in this paper for transmission expansion planning (TEP) of a grid, involving both HVAC and HVDC links. The use of these algorithms makes a robust proposed approach by which for a hybrid HVAC-HVDC network, TEP may be performed fast and accurately. The proposed approach is assessed and evaluated for three test systems.
