The authors have created a techno-economic model of an idealized electricity distribution network in order to carry out analysis for strategic network planning and regulatory pricing. The model assumes a homogeneous load area supplied by a single zone substation. The model is capable of simulating any size load area, both underground and overhead networks and many combinations of voltage. Individual consumer loads may be allowed to vary over as wide a range as observed in practice. The model is not restricted to distribution practices in any particular country.
