In this paper an attempt is made to develop a new algorithm for distribution system planning. Generalized algorithm is developed for obtaining the optimal feeder path and optimal location of substation based on minimum loss criteria. The proposed method can handle all the heuristic rules. Also presented are a new load flow algorithm for solving radial distribution feeders and a branch conductor optimization algorithm. The load flow and branch conductor optimization techniques are used as subroutine in the generalized distribution planning algorithm. Several problems have been successfully tested using the proposed algorithm and results are highly satisfactory.
