The paper presents a modeling framework to analyze some important issues associated with operation planning of a power system. Major activities involved in operations planning of large integrated power systems are considered simultaneously to ensure optimal utilization of generation and transmission capacity. The model also examines optimal transmission expansion plans vis‐à‐vis fuel supply issues. A mixed integer programming model is developed for this purpose and the Indian power system considered. Specific emphasis is on spatial transmission expansion plan for the existing Indian inter‐state transmission grid and new transmission links, coordinated operation of the isolated regional grids and system benefits accruing from transmission expansion, enhanced fuel production and supply rescheduling to ensure efficient operation of various generating stations.
