AB - Decisions on whether to invest in new power system infrastructure can have farreaching consequences. The timely expansion of generation and transmission capacities is crucial for the reliability of a power system and its ability to provide uninterrupted service under changing market conditions.We consider a local (e.g., regional or national) power system which is embedded into a deregulated electricity market. Assuming a probabilistic model for future electricity demand, fuel prices, equipment failures, and electricity spot prices, we formulate a capacity expansion problem which minimizes the sum of the costs for upgrading the local power system and the costs for operating the upgraded system over an extended planning horizon. The arising optimization problem represents a two-stage stochastic program with binary first-stage decisions. Solution of this problem relies on a specialized algorithm which constitutes a symbiosis of a regularized decomposition method and a branch-and-bound scheme.
