We extend a static mixed intger diajunctive (MID) transmission expansion planning model so as to deal with circuit contingency criterion. The model simultaneously represents the network constraints for base case and each selected circuit contingency. The MID approach aloows a commercial optimization solver to achieve and prove solution aptimiality. The proposed approach is applied to a regional Venezuelan network, and results and future works are dicussed.
