This report describes new results in power system planning, notably the development of efficient computer programs for finding the optimal transmission system expansion policy and methods for further extension and refinements of these first prototype programs. The computational procedures are based on linear-programming and dynamic-programming techniques, and they accommodate system reliability requirements as well as the discrete nature of the future additions. Approaches to take account of uncertainties in load forecasts, generation plans, imposed constraint values, costs and possibly other input data are also included. Methods for establishing the line-loading constraints are discussed in detail. Finally, future approaches to integrated system-subsystem planning are suggested, and the related recent work done by other utilities is summarized. The prototype planning program is demonstrated on a real-world transmission-system planning problem, and associated parametric studies.
