Planning of distribution system is a complex multi-objective problem. The long term
planning of distribution system is mainly associated with location of substation, feeder routing and conductor selection for the feeders considering load growth. A simple and efficient mathematical approach is used to find out the optimal substation location and feeder routing in radial distribution system considering operational and technical constraints. The conductors for the feeders of the network are selected by minimizing the cost function that is proposed in this work. The cost function consists of energy loss cost and investment cost of conductors. The feeder reconfiguration is another aspect for the planning of distribution system. A method based on loss index is proposed to select the tie lines for the network reconfiguration. The reconfiguration of the distribution network with the tie lines is carried out in order to reduce the system power loss. The reconfiguration also makes the system more reliable and improves the quality of power. The methods are illustrated by using two examples of 30 node and 54 node radial distribution systems.
