Abstract
This paper defines a mathematical model which simulates the growth of a power system and determines the least cost expansion plan for a system of distribution substations. A new approach employing linear and integer programming is used to optimize the system's substation capacities subject to the constraints of cost, load, voltage, and reserve requirements. The model has been successfully applied to a 1600 square mile urban area served by 70 distribution substations.Keywords
