Abstract

Efficiency and performance targets are nowadays being tangibly addressed by the regulation authorities. Customer demands on distribution networks, both qualitative and quantitative, are increasing. Whilst most urban distribution network development occurs in the context of existing and ageing developed networks, it is legitimate to highlight some general planning targets showing the cost implications of various medium voltage planning philosophies, such as voltage levels, the use of parallel conductors in congested and heavily loaded regions, and full or economically optimal backup connections and switch placement.
