Abstract

In practice, the studies should be performed well in advance, as constructing a substation requires enough time. Therefore, the base year is normally not the current year, but, it is the year in which the data are known and already decided upon. For instance, current year may be 2010, base year may be 2013 and study period may be 2014–2020.

Notes

  1. 1.

    In this section, by substation we mean sub-transmission substation.

  2. 2.

    In practice, the studies should be performed well in advance, as constructing a substation requires enough time. Therefore, the base year is normally not the current year, but, it is the year in which the data are known and already decided upon. For instance, current year may be 2010, base year may be 2013 and study period may be 2014–2020.

  3. 3.

    For details, see Chap. 4.

  4. 4.

    Existing substations are denoted by "E".

  5. 5.

    Although some mathematical approaches may be proposed for candidate selection, the distribution planners are the best in recommending such locations; as they know current deficiencies in supply points.

  6. 6.

    \( \overline{Q} \) and \( \underline{Q} \) are taken to be 2/3 and −1/3 of PG and PV setpoints are assumed to be 1.0.

  7. 7.

    No new transmission element is required for 2015.
