For that reason, technical modern that allow the resolution in smaller time and with smaller accuracy in the solution are applied. Most of the approximate techniques are included inside a wider concept that is denominated Artificial Intelligence. In this article the more promising techniques of IA are studied indicating their applications in the PEG as well as their advantages and disadvantages.}, publisher = {European Association for the Development of Renewable Energies, Environment and Power Quality (EA4EPQ)}, publisher = {Renewable Energy and Power Quality Journal (RE&PQJ), 2007, 1(5), 418-425}, publisher = {International Conference on Renewable Energies and Power Quality (ICREPQ’07), Sevilla}, title = {Comparative study of techniques used in the generation expansion planning}, author = {Delgado San Román, Fernando and Ortiz Fernández, Alfredo and Renedo Estébanez, Carlos J. and Ortiz Fernández, Félix and Mañana Canteli, Mario}, }
