Collect the required data and develop fundamental methods and software tools and interfaces required to support large scale electric system capacity expansion.
Develop the generalized frameworks to link capacity expansion models (CEM), such as GenX and ReEDS, and production cost models (PCM), such as Sienna\Ops.
Develop automated workflows to estimate maximum power flow transfer constraints between any arbitrary set of aggregated spatial regions (or 'zones').
Work towards automating transmission network designs to enable generation interconnections and transmission capacity augmentations consistent with results from CEMs and develop methods for automated downscaling of zonal CEM results to a nodal PCM for further reliability analysis.
