    Abstract

    Centralized biogas plant (CBP) provides an attractive solution to the energy supply for district heating, electric loads, and residential cooking in remote areas via a local biogas delivery network. To overcome the challenges of biomass availability for CBPs, an integrated expansion planning model is proposed in this paper. The model makes investment decisions on the sequential planning of integrated electric power distribution and biogas delivery networks and uses the constrained transportation network to optimally determine CBP locations in the integrated network. The proposed approach also considers the biomass availability and the cost of biomass supply in the integrated model. The proposed multistage stochastic planning problem makes investment decisions considering the gradual realization of uncertainties as loads grow and biomass is made available. The polyhedral approximation method is applied to convert the proposed mixed-integer second-order cone programming (MISOCP) problem to a mixed-integer linear programming (MILP) problem for making the problem more tractable
