Determining the Optimal Location of Substations for Electric Distribution

Substation optimization involves positioning a substation(s) at the most suitable point with minimum cost. In this study, multiple data were collected from Turkish Electric Distribution Incorporated Company (TEİAŞ) for substation in Eryaman region. The substations will be placed straight points. Using capacity of substations, power, voltage drops, and service interruptions calculated 10-year planning period. Each criterion represents one constraint. established model serves following objectives: determining optimal size given period by minimizing costs satisfying demand sectors without interruption. is solved GAMS results are obtained. Our demonstrate that installing two locations energy region satisfied. To test model’s applicability larger systems, number transformers increased. show optimality has been maintained remains valid.
