Abstract The speed of using renewable resources is expanding day by day. Renewable energy systems have many benefits for energy supply that do not include diesel, natural gas, or coal. Despite the many advantages, the use of renewable resources also includes basic challenges. With the presence of these sources, many technical issues must be considered in the network, the most important of which are voltage quality and network losses. The presence of these power plants can reduce fossil fuel costs and help reduce emissions. However, the high‐capacity connection of these types of power plants in the transmission networks despite the uncertainty may cause the congestion of transmission lines, increase losses and decrease voltage quality. Therefore, to reduce the need to build transmission lines, energy storage devices can be installed and energy can be stored and returned to the network in certain hours. The purpose of this paper is to build the maximum capacity of wind power plants in the transmission network in such a way that its profitability is guaranteed. For this purpose, in addition to considering the costs related to the power plant, the costs of storage devices and the construction of possible new lines have been considered. Also, improving the technical conditions of the network and reducing the maximum emission after installing these units is considered as a multiobjective function. The problem tested on the standard IEEE test transmission network and the results show that it is possible to determine the maximum profitable capacity of wind power plants.
