Abstract
Competitive markets expose transmission planners to new uncertainties. Thes e are handled using a decision-analysis approach whose key contribution is quantifying and minimizing risk. The method is applied using existing and g enerally-available software tools. The result is a transmission plan which is robust in the face of uncertainties. A study of a major proposed Central -American interconnection illustrates the problem and the method.
