The easiest way to do this would be to include the new line in your case and then use a profile (like the load and wind profile examples) to control the in/out-of-service status of that line in each period of your optimization.
Note: This would be a pre-specified in/out-of-service schedule, not an optimization of when to bring the line into service. If that is what you are looking for, and it is a single line, you could simply run the optimization iteratively through all possible in-service times and then select the one that results in the smallest objective function value.
Hi everyone! I’m carrying out a project where I try to use MOST to solve an Optimal Power Flow problem in the multiperiod (nt=18). My goal is to add a new line after n-periods (so that I can consider the construction time of this new line): after a few days, I managed to do this by performing an OPF separately on each single period, and after n-periods the new branch is inserted. However, I was wondering if it was possible to use MOST to integrate a new line by running an OPF entirely on the multiperiod and add, in the meantime, a new branch inside that miltiperiod.
