Abstract

In Generation Expansion Planning (GEP), the power plants lifetime is one of the most important factors which to the best knowledge of the authors, has not been investigated in the literature. In this article, the power plants lifetime effect on GEP is investigated. In addition, the deep learning-based approaches are widely used for time series forecasting. Therefore, a new version of Long short-term memory (LSTM) networks known as Bi-directional LSTM (BLSTM) networks are used in this paper to forecast annual peak load of the power system. For carbon emissions, the cost of carbon is considered as the penalty of pollution in the objective function. The proposed approach is evaluated by a test network and then applied to Iran power system as a large-scale grid. The simulations by GAMS (General Algebraic Modeling System, Washington, DC, USA) software show that due to consideration of lifetime as a constraint, the total cost of the GEP problem decreases by 5.28% and 7.9% for the test system and Iran power system, respectively.
