Today’s electric power system has highly complex and large scale interconnected transmission systems. In order to tackle the significant power system optimization problems transmission network expansion planning (TNEP) is required. This paper proposes a novel algorithm which is applied to transmission system consisting of the combination of solar PV and wind farms in order to solve the TNEP problems efficiently by using the analytical algorithm. The proposed method has achieved solutions with good accuracy, simple implementation and satisfactory results
