Abstract: Electricity expansion planning is finding an optimal solution for the power system planning problem in which installation of new generation units satisfies both technical and financial constraints. Nowadays, renewable power generation plays an important role in power generation since it is pollution free and has zero fuel cost. In this paper, an attempt is made to design a future power system for Andhra Pradesh, an Indian state in which the electricity is generated mainly from non-renewable energy sources which increase greenhouse gases (GHGs) emission and hence global warming. Keeping in mind about pollution impacts, renewable energy sources like wind, solar, biomass are considered for Andhra Pradesh using long-range energy alternative planning system (LEAP) software. The various scenarios have been developed with LEAP and in all scenarios, the system installed capacity, 100-year global warming potential, social cost, production cost and total cost are investigated quantitatively.
