Transmission expansion planning has become a complicated procedure more than any time it was with the rapid growth of the transmission networks, therefore, this work summarizes the works had been done before regarding this topic. This review classifies the existing works from many sides such as, solution methods, planning horizon and from the modeling prospective in order to facilitate the other researcher’s works in this hot area to get a feasible algorithm academically and commercially. The drawbacks of the TEP procedure and some recommendations are also included.
