| contents | Transmission expansion planning in electricity markets is tightly coupled with the strategic bidding behaviors of generation companies. This paper proposes a Reinforcement Learning (RL)-based co-optimization framework that simultaneously learns transmission investment decisions and generator bidding strategies within a unified training process. Based on a multiagent RL framework for market simulation, the proposed method newly introduces a design policy layer that jointly optimizes continuous/discrete transmission expansion decisions together with strategic bidding policies. Through iterative interaction between market clearing and investment design, the framework effectively captures their mutual influence and achieves consistent co-optimization of expansion and bidding decisions. Case studies on the IEEE 30-bus system are provided for proof-of-concept validation of the proposed co-optimization framework. |
