Description
Summary:With the aid of the Geographic Information System (GIS), an effective way is proposed to determine the substation location and its service area. The integration of GIS could produce a practical distribution plan by considering the land use, value, zoning, as well as other physical restrictions. These physical restrictions are not easy to quantify, and are awkward to model with mathematics. With a graphic terminal, a user is able to view the planning process on-line. An urban area is chosen as an example to show the effectiveness of this technology.
