Abstract
The unbundling of the electricity companies, which means the separation of generation, transport, and distribution activities, imposed over the past two decades in many countries has led to a review of planning methods, be it generation or networks.
Chap. 3 presents the evolution of transport network planning. In particular, the use of scenarios has gradually become necessary to manage the multiple uncertainties over the evolution over time of different parameters to represent the future need for networks.
After the general presentation of the methods used by most TSOs, the chapter introduces an enlarged vision of network development studies by describing the methods used in Europe for interconnections between countries.
Chap. 3 develops in particular prospective methods developed within the framework of a European research project, e-Highway250 project, which aims to identify the European transport network necessary to integrate large volumes of renewable energy by 2050.
