Transmission constrained generation expansion planning (TC-GEP) problem involves decisions on site, capacity, type of fuel, and etc. of new generation units, which should be installed over a planning horizon to meet the expectations of energy demand. This may lead to adding or lightening transmission lines congestion. This paper presents an application of genetic algorithm (GA) to TC-GEP problem for simultaneously determination of new generation site, capacity and fuel type for a multi-period generation expansion plan. The objective function in this paper is to minimize the total generation cost which is composed of generation capital investment costs, operation and maintenance (O&M) costs, outage cost, transmission losses costs and transmission enhancement costs. In this paper, also a new method is proposed for computing transmission enhancement costs. In addition a new approach is presented in this paper to determine site and number of combined cycle power plants regarding to candidate units. The GA is applied to solve TC-GEP problem for 4 bus test system from Grainger & Stevenson for a planning horizon of one year and the results are compared and validated against Enumeration Method (EM). Then GA is applied to solve TC-GEP problem for IEEE-RTS 24-bus test system for a planning horizon of three years and results are discussed.
