Development of a stochastic multistage lifecycle programming model for electric power system planning – A case study for the Province of Saskatchewan, Canada

In this study, a stochastic multistage lifecycle programming model (SMLP) for supporting the management of power systems and the associated economic and environmental risks is proposed. A two-fold objective is pursued. First, information on lifecycle GHG emissions from 10 forms of power generation technologies is comprehensively reviewed and characterized. Second, optimized pathways for the electricity system transition with specific …
