INTRODUCTION
This
training course covers the process of planning an electrical utility
distribution system to assure adequacy, reliability, and economy. The course
begins with an overview of the distribution system and its basic equipment.
Next, the planning process is explored, step-by-step, emphasizing the
importance of each step in achieving the desired outcome. An in-depth view of
engineering economics is included to assure cost-effectiveness of the
capital-intensive infrastructure. Since the planning process is
necessitated due to changes in load, the process of performing and interpreting
load forecasts is investigated. Finally, means of quantifying and measuring
reliability will be presented so the reliability of the distribution can be
properly assessed.
Utility
customers today are demanding higher reliability and lower costs, and this
trend will undoubtedly continue for the next several decades. Effective
planning techniques provide a means of meeting the customer demands of
reliability and economy while better positioning the utility for adapting to
future customer requirements. This training course presents proven planning
methods which will benefit both the utility and its customers
