Abstract :
Two different methods for finding the optimal cable profile of tapered low-voltage multibranched distributors are presented. One method is for tapering between nodes assuming a change in cable size can occur anywhere within a branch, the other is for tapering at nodes where a change in cable size is allowed only from branch to branch. Both can be embedded in a general procedure for designing distribution networks. Also, both cater for interconnectors, existing branches and the cost of losses.
