Generation and Transmission Planning for Yangon Region with the Consideration of Contingency Condition Yamin Oo#1, WintWint Kyaw#2 #Department of Electrical Power Engineering, Yangon Technological University Yangon, Myanmar 1yaminoo25@gmail.com 2 wintwintkyaw.mm@gmail.com Abstract – This paper refers to generation and transmission planning for Yangon region with the consideration of load forecasting. The planning period is considered as long term planning with the period of 10 years. Yangon is now rapid urbanization according to its development plans of people’s living standard, newly build townships and industrial zones with about 7.3 million people. It is obvious that, the electricity demand is under pressure to be sufficient energy for Yangon region. Therefore, consideration of power system planning becomes urgent issue. Wien Automatic System Planning Package (WASP-IV) is employed for generation planning with the result of five new projects in Yangon. Moreover, Newton-Raphson based load flow calculation is applied for making decision of new lines in the expansion of transmission planning. According to the transmission planning result, three lines are needed to upgrade the existing lines and four new lines are recommended are added. Keywords – Long-term load forecasting, generation planning, transmission planning, WASP-IV, Newton-Raphson based load flow calculation I. INTRODUCTION Power system planning is one of the most important areas in power system research. The
