Abstract
A mathematical model (linear mixed integer program, using the OPHELIE Mixed algorithm for solution) is formulated for long range planning in electric utility systems. The model provided construction expansion and approximate operating schedules for power plants and transmission lines that will minimize the system cost over a given planning horizon, while meeting all demands of the system for electrical energy. The model is applied to a regional electric utility system in Texas (using actual data). The results and conclusions are reported.
