In this paper, we present the methodology used in the simulation toolchain and preliminary results for optimal power flow simulation performed in four different regional cases covering most parts of Europe. An energy scenario, created in the scope of the project, for 2030 is used and results obtained illustrate both the tool capability to run complex simulations and the need for grid reinforcements. Obtained OPF results will be further used in the project to identify grid expansion candidates and solve the grid expansion problem.enginfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessconference output10.1109/SEST53650.2022.9898495FlexPlanGrid PlanningRES integrationflexibilitystorageArtificial IntelligenceComputer Science ApplicationsHardware and ArchitectureEnergy Engineering and Power TechnologyElectrical and Electronic EngineeringControl and Optimizationhttp://www.scopus.com/inward/record.url?scp=85140851741&partnerID=8YFLogxK
