Brazil is one of the world leaders in the use of renewable power. In addition to the mainstream hydropower, which has historically dominated the country’s electricity production, two renewable sources have become competitive for large scale expansion in the last five years: bioelectricity (BE), cogeneration from sugarcane bagasse; and small hydro (SH), which comprises hydro plants smaller than 30 MW. About 8,000 MW of BE and SH plants are already in operation or under construction. This thesis describes the technical solutions to the planning of the transmission network that integrates them to the main grid. The planning issue is complex because the plants are spread over large areas. As a consequence, the integration network has layers of collector substations at different voltages. The problem is to define the network topology, positioning of the substations (SE), length of circuits, circuits capacities and dimensioning of transformation equipment that result in the least cost investment plan. This involves the trade-off between using longer circuits with individual lower capacities connecting each generator to the main grid or shorter circuits connecting the generators to a SE, which concentrates the flow in a single circuit of higher capacity that will transport the energy to the main grid. Transmission losses can be also considered. This problem is formulated as a Mixed-Integer Non-Linear Program with linear constraints.
