Substation location method based on Voronoi diagram
Wei Tang · Power System Protection and Control · 2010
Voronoi diagram has a unique superiority in planning and site selection.This paper uses Voronoi diagram to guide the location of new substations by considering the principle of the substation location.The definition and characteristics of Voronoi diagram and its dual structure Delaunay triangulation are introduced simply.The Lawson algorithm for generating Delaunay triangulations is also described in detail.In the new substation location section,this paper proposes substation location with even and uneven load distribution using Voronoi diagram.The alternating iteration algorithm for uneven load distribution is simulated through an actual location problem.The outcome shows the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed method in new substation location.
