A Linear Approach to the Problem or Planning New Feed Points Into a Distribution System

Where distribution systems serve areas of nonuniform load density, the usual criterion of kva (kilovolt-amperes) per square mile does not lend itself to an examination of circuit adequacy or system economics per loss considerations. An attempt is made in this paper to develop methods, suitable for planning purposes, which are based on the linear aspects of load distribution and by which the need and usefulness of alternate methods of distribution-system reinforcement can be evaluated.
