Automated assessment algorithm for the efficiency of the area occupied by the distribution devices of substations 35-220 kV with prefabricated tires

This paper presents an algorithm that selects the optimal layout of the distribution device according to the criterion of the smallest area occupied. The calculation is done by summing up individual components defined by using albums with typical designs of open distribution devices. The algorithm is designed for open distribution devices with a voltage of 35-220 kV. The original data for the implementation of the algorithm are the number of power lines, transformers, voltage level. The paper is an example of the calculation for the scheme “two working tire systems”. This algorithm is implemented in the original software product ORU CAD. In addition, the algorithm is adapted to solve the problem of automated building layouts of open switchgear circuits.
