A comprehensive platform for high-voltage and middle-voltage urban distribution system planning

To adapt the needs of the rapid development and more frequent construction or reconstruction of urban distribution network in China, this paper proposes a comprehensive computer-supported planning software system, which is called planning platform. It is different from the traditional decision-making system which only plays a role as an analysis and decision-making support tool for planning engineers. Moreover, it not only proposes a co-operational platform for all members directly or indirectly involved in distribution planning, but also provides access to information in the planning management. Based on the comprehensive process of the superior and the subordinate network, which is compared with the traditional planning process, it can commendably solve the urban network all-voltage series' comprehensive planning problems, make the distribution network's whole optimization, avoid something like N-1 spare redundant, inharmonious power supply, and achieve the purpose of sufficiently exhuming the network's power supply ability and global economy optimization. This platform's development can optimize present planning process, build multi-section's co-operative environment of the planning, standardize the planning data's collection and distribution, and strengthen the planning management system. The comprehensive platform for urban distribution system is the development and tendency of the planning software and the computer assistant planning.
