A Reference Network Model for Large-Scale Distribution Planning With Automatic Street Map Generation

Abstract: A Reference Network Model (RNM) is a large-scale distribution planning tool that can help regulators to estimate efficient costs in the context of incentive regulation applied to distribution companies. This paper presents the main features of an RNM developed for planning distribution networks from scratch, greenfield planning, or incrementally from an existing grid. Two properties of the model are highlighted: the simultaneous planning of high-, medium-, and low-voltage networks by using simultaneity factors… Show more

“…A heuristic algorithm is developed to solve the PDP and a statistical approach is introduced to support network planers identify the best design strategy for given types of LV networks [45]. The PDP is solved by a branch-exchange technique in combination with minimum spanning tree [41] and DP [44,58]. The PDP is divided into the substation problem and the feeder problem; a pseudo-combinatorial algorithm solves the substation problem; next, the feeder problem is solved by two consecutive approaches: the node ordering and the node ordering directed branch exchange [14].…”

“…These planning models are able to locate and size primary and secondary circuits, as well as distribution transformers, through mathematical programming or heuristic algorithms. Earlier efforts with mathematical programming methods like mixed integer linear programming [57] or nonlinear programming [58], are being replaced by heuristic methods like genetic algorithms [59], practical heuristic algorithms [60], or particle swarm optimization [61]. The increasing use of heuristic methods over numerical ones is driven by the computational complexity of planning entire distribution systems.…”

“…In Europe, there have been some past efforts to build "reference network models" that can automate the design and layout large-scale distribution networks [60]. Reference network models use heuristics to generate synthetic representative networks from scratch and were originally developed to overcome the information gap that was faced by regulators in assessing appropriate utility costs.…”
