Abstract

In this paper an attempt is made to develop a new algorithm for distribution system planning. A generalised algorithm is developed for obtaining the optimal feeder path and optimal location of a substation based on minimum loss criteria. The proposed method can handle all the heuristic rules. Also presented are a new load flow algorithm for solving radial distribution feeders and a branch conductor optimization algorithm. The load flow and branch conductor optimization techniques are used as a subroutine in the generalized distribution planning algorithm. Problems have been successfully tested using the proposed algorithm and results are highly satisfactory
