Abstract
A multi-objective wind farm integration framework is proposed in this paper which considers the composite generation and reliability assessment and annualized operating and investment cost evaluation. An emission-controlled policy is adopted such that the amount of SOx and NOx decreases in line with renewable resource planning. Since the incorporation of large-scale distant wind farms is a problem of the multi-objective mixed-integer type with nonlinearities and non-convexities, this paper utilizes a fast elicit multi-objective Non-dominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm II (NSGA II) by probabilistic indices. It is noted that the impacts of the unavailability of the transmission system are modeled employing DC Optimal Power Flow (OPF) based on the incidence matrix together with the static security evaluation. Furthermore, in order to assess the performance of the suggested approach, the model is implemented on the Roy Billinton Test System (RBTS). Afterwards, distant wind farms integration into Iran's South-West Regional Grid (ISWRG) is studied. © 2019

Abstract
This paper presents an optimization framework to determine the optimal operating points of combined heat and power (CHP) units with nonlinear, nonconvex feasible operating region (FOR). The mentioned problem is the economic dispatch (ED) of heat-only units, thermal units, and CHP units. Also, the electric units are of thermal technology while their valve-point impact is taken into consideration. Also, the heat power curve of heat-only units is nonlinear. It is noted that the FOR of CHP units has been defined both as convex and nonconvex regions. For those with nonconvex characteristic, a method is proposed to convert it into a convex characteristic. Accordingly, a separate binary variable must be defined to determine the optimal operating point in each convex region. Thus, the presented problem in this paper is of mixed-integer nonlinear programming (MINLP) type modeled in General Algebraic Modeling System (GAMS) software. In this respect, different case studies have been presented to assess the optimality, feasibility, and the flexibility of the model. It is noteworthy that the valve-point effect of thermal units and different FORs of CHP units as well as the electrical power losses have been considered. © 2018 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Abstract
The paper presents a multi-year, multi-objective framework for integrating Renewable Energy Sources (RESs) into the high voltage transmission network of Iran's National Power Grid (INPG). The objective functions in this study are the total cost, including the investment cost and operating cost for the planning horizon, and the system reliability. The first objective function is stated from the economic point of view, while the second objective function is considered as a security index in the expansion planning issue. The main purpose of this paper is to increase the RES penetration into the generation mix of INPG. Since the mentioned 230 to 400-kV INPG is a large-scale power system, the problem formulation is investigated in a mixed-integer programming, and then, the developed multi-objective problem has been solved using the augmented epsilon-constraint optimization method. In order to select the executive plan for installation, the fuzzy satisfying decision-making procedure is adopted in this study. © 2018 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
