Abstract :
A new method of extrapolating load growth for distribution planning is described. The method combines two previously used methods of extrapolation in a manner in which each reinforces the other. Tests reveal the new method to be more accurate and dependable than other extrapolation procedures. The technique is described, including a flowchart for computer implementation.
