Resumen:
This work presents a conceptual framework for sub-transmission expansion planning of active distribution systems, which aims to show the problem that is currently given in South American countries, particularly in Argentina. First, sub-transmission networks are characterized, which are typical of South American systems. Then, some current conflicting situations that hinder expansion planning are exposed, among which the most typical is the uncertainty in the demand growth and, in more recent years, the increasing penetration of non-conventional renewable generation and the typical economic instability in South America. Finally, an expansion planning methodology is proposed which, through the use of a new scheme and modern technologies, gives a more flexible planning that reduces the economic risks to utilities under uncertainties by such dynamic context.
