| Abstract | Design of LV networks has two aspects: mechanical and electrical. The objective of the mechanic design is to determine the tension of wires, or equally their sags, in such a way that in various climates the designed network operates reasonably. On the other hand, the target of the electrical design is to fulfill the electric constrains including current, voltage, and losses constrains. For instance, the voltage drop must be less than 5%. In the case of current, there are two constrains for steady state and faulted conditions. This paper presents a cost based conductors cross-section selection procedure in electric design of LV distribution networks with respect to the mentioned constrains. |
