Problem Definition:The Power Services Division of JUSCO is responsible for the purchase, sale and

distribution of electricity; augmenting and maintaining the power distribution

infrastructure; as well as for municipal and town management functions in its
service area.
Tired of 'erratic' and 'highly undependable' JSEB power supply, new and old
industrial units as well as a large number of domestic users spread over the city
and its suburbs starting from Chandil have started putting in applications with
Jusco for electricity. Several other units are also coming forward to pay up Jusco's
installation charges for industrial consumers.
Based upon the projected increase in demand for the current consumers as well as
estimated increase in sales through addition of new consumers in the network,
projections for the Financial Year 2009-10 were prepared. The projected
connected load has been derived based on present connected loads, load under
process and load expected from fresh applications for each consumer category
considering the present scenario of economic recession and for all other
categories, the load factor has been taken mostly at FY 2008-09 levels.

The majority of the growth in FY 2008-09 came from the demand generated by the
newly added consumers. The same pattern will continue in the ensuing year FY
2009-10 also as JUSCO is expanding its network across the area.
Presently JUSCO is feeding the demand of power from its existing 33/6.4 KV sub
stations located at the following area across the city with a 33/6.6 KV sub station
coming up at Adityapur area.

The cost of feeding has been calculated considering the power loss over the
distance.
The management of JUSCO now lay the feeder lines to the new areas and at the
same time go for maintenance of old feeder lines to meet the supply and demand
equilibrium so that the cost of feeding is at a minimum.
It has been estimated that maximum electricity availability at the different sub
stations for the fiscal year 2009-10 will be as tabulated below

Problem identification JUSCO wants to minimize the costs of laying the feeder
lines and distribution of electricity from sub stations to the consumers, while not
exceeding the supply available from each sub station and meeting the demand of
each consumer.
Problem formulation: formulating this problem as a transportation model for
feeding cost minimization
Let us consider Xij be the supply from I sub station to j categorized area. Here i =
1 to 9 and j = 1 to 6.
Then,

Total projected cost under this plan is Rs 17975033

Q-2:- How many supply routes are there and how many are suggested by the solution?
Ans: - there are a total of 54 routes of power supply and the solution suggests only 14
(6+9-1 = 14) routes of power supply from the sub stations.
Q-3:- Suppose JUSCO wants to decrease the cost of supply by Re 0.02 for the Manifit II to
NDS I feeder. Is it possible under the current optimal solution?
Ans:- Yes it is possible because the allowable decrease in cost of supply is Re 0.04. the
total cost of supply, if the rate is decreased by Re. 0.02, the new supply cost will be (old
cost obtained by the solution qty supply * 0.02) = 17975033 256572*0.02 = Rs
17969901.56
Q-4 :- For what range of values of the cost of shipping 1 KWh of electricity from sub
station at L town to DS II will the current basis remain optimal?
Ans :- From the sensitivity report we find that for supplying the electricity from L town to
DS II the objective co efficient can be increased by Rs 0.04 and can be decreased by Rs
5.74. So, the range is Rs 4.9-0.04 = Rs 4.86 and 4.9+5.74 = Rs 10.64
Q:-5 :- Suppose JUSCO is planning to use ACSR conductors instead of AAAC conductors the
cost of supply from Manifit II sub station to NDS I and NDS II will increase further by
by Re 0.02 and decrease by Re 0.03 resp. Can JUSCO implement this under current
optimal solution?
Ans:- Applying the 100 % rule; if the price is decreased by 0.02 for Manifit II to NDS I,
the % is
0.02/0.04*100=50 %. If the price gets increased by 0.1 the % is
0.03/0.04*100=75%. The total is 125 % greater than 100 %. So, JUSCO cant go for the use
of ACSR conductors instead of AAAC conductors.
