Hw. Dai et al., OPTIMAL PLANNING OF DISTRIBUTION SUBSTATION LOCATIONS AND SIZES - MODEL AND ALGORITHM, INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ELECTRICAL POWER AND ENERGY SYSTEMS, 18(6), 1996, pp. 353-357
A new method is presented in this paper to solve the optimal planning
problem of distribution substations. The procedure proposed here does
not require candidate substation locations and can automatically selec
t the optimal sizes, locations and service areas of substations in pow
er distribution systems. In addition, an effective solution algorithm
is also presented. (C) 1996 Elsevier Science Ltd.
