PLANNING OF MULTIPLE FEEDERS ELECTRICAL DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM

ectrical Distribution System is a system to distribute electricity to users.
Electricity that is being distributed comes from generation station where the
electrical power is generated. The electrical power is then being transmitted
through Transmission System to substations to be distributed to the users.
Electrical Distribution System is very important because it affects the end users
directly, thus distribution system planning is very essential. In general,
distribution system planning process involves selecting the location of the
substation, configuring how the substation connects with all the nodes, and
selecting the conductor to be used as feeder for all the branches in the distribution
system. In this project, several algorithms are implemented to design an electrical
distribution system which are (1) Optimal Feeder Path Algorithm, (2) Modified
Load Flow Algorithm, (3) Optimal Branch Conductor Selection Algorithm, and
( 4) Optimal Location of Substation Algorithm. These four algorithms are
combined together to design a distribution system which provides high node
voltages, low real and reactive power losses of branches, and low installation and
operating costs. Three types of design are considered in this project, ( 1) single
feeder distribution system, (2) two feeders distribution system, (3) three feeders
distribution system.
