LONDONO POSSO, Julián Mauricio; HINCAPIE ISAZA, Ricardo Alberto    GALLEGO RENDON, Ramón Alfonso. SECONDARY DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM PLANNING USING THREE-PHASE MODEL. []. , 21, 2, pp.41-53. ISSN 0124-8170.

This paper presents a methodology to solve the distribution system planning problem. In its solution a three-phase model is taking into account with different design and operational costs, including relocation and upgrading of existing elements and location and dimensioning of the new ones. The operational costs consider energy losses in conductors. To solve this model the genetic algorithm of Chu-Beasley is used. The methodology is tested using a system with 54 points to link new users, and analyzed under different operative conditions. Results obtained present good quality, due to low losses as a result to adequate transformers location, appropriate selection of conductors and a good load balancing.
