  • Abstract
    A computer program which determines growth patterns and characteristics of secondary distribution systems under the influences of time and load growth is described. New methods of considering the basic load characteristics of customers are employed to determine accurate system costs for future years for all growth paths permitted by specified design changes. Using present worth arithmetic, comparisons of these costs are made to determine the schedules of design changes which will result in greatest economy for the system studied.
