Heuristic Methodology for Planning AC Rural Medium-Voltage Distribution Grids

The optimal expansion of AC medium-voltage distribution grids for rural applications is addressed in this study from a heuristic perspective. The optimal routes of a distribution feeder are selected by applying the concept of a minimum spanning tree by limiting the number of branches that are connec...
