Abstract
This paper presents an optimization-based methodology for low-voltage distribution network design. The system is composed of three mathemati cal models: distribution transformer location, secondary feeder routin g and transformer sizing, and primary-transformer interconnection. A h euristic solution approach calculates the actual total installation co st for an increasing number of transformers until the minimum cost sol ution that meets the forecast demand and problem constraints is attain ed. Results are compared with those obtained by using an empirical app roach. Copyright (C) 1996 Elsevier Science Ltd
