In this study, geographic information system (GIS)-based methods and their applications in solar power system planning and design were reviewed. Three types of GIS-based studies, including those on solar radiation mapping, site evaluation, and potential assessment, were considered to elucidate the role of GISs as problem-solving tools in relation to photovoltaic and concentrated solar power systems for the conversion of solar energy into electricity. The review was performed by classifying previous GIS-based studies into several subtopics according to the complexity of the employed GIS-based methods, the type of solar power conversion technology, or the scale of the study area. Because GISs are appropriate for handling geospatial data related to solar resource and site suitability conditions on various scales, the applications of GIS-based methods in solar power system planning and design could be expanded further.

Planning And Operation

In power system planning and operation, accurate assessment of overhead lines outage rate is essential for making timely decisions. The overhead lines are often influenced by many random events, such as accidents and weather conditions, resulting in power outages. Especially, the reliability of the overhead lines is subjected to weather conditions to a great extent[9]. At present, research about weather conditions dependent reliability is abundant, but many of them are based on synthetical weather, little of them base on specific weather conditions such as typhoon and thunder .This paper proposed outage model of overhead lines dependent upon typhoon an thunder. In power system planning and operation, accurate assessment of failure rate is essential for making informed decisions, The outage model proposed in this paper has significant meaning for the research of risk assessment of power systems.

Planning And Operation

Power demand side resources include interruptible load and transferable load. With the aid of demand side resources, we can reduce peak load of power system and slow down the power grid investment, and promote the efficiency of power system operation. Based on the assessment of the potential value of demand side resources, this paper proposes a regional power system planning optimization model considering demand side response. The regional total costs of investment cost, fuel cost and demand response compensation cost are minimized with power system planning and operation constraints. The benefits of the proposed model are investigated through several case studies.
