Abstract
This paper presents a novel approach for optimal electric distribution system expansion planning (OEDSEP) using a hybrid energy hub concept. The proposed method uses an energy hub model to explore the impacts of energy carrier systems on OEDSEP procedure. This algorithm decomposes the OEDSEP problem into three subproblems to achieve an optimal expansion planning of a system in which the investment and operational costs are minimized, while the reliability of the system is maximized. The algorithm was successfully tested in the present research for an urban distribution system.
