operation: the members of Be satisfy the operational constraints until year m.
configurations are denoted as
if they have been
constructed for the sequential years (n) to (m). The
selected configurations are classified in sub-sets B,
that can feed all of the loads until the year (m),
without operational limits violation. The above actions
are illustrated schematicallyin Fig 1.
-In the second step, the dynamic sub-problem is
solved: Based on the sets of the selected solutions
because of their economic interest the optimal
sequence of network configurations for the total study
period is determined, using Dynamic Programming
techniques.
The load data (load patterns describing their variation
per load type, the growth rates of existing and new
loads etc.) as well as all the possible reinforcements or
extension alternatives are given beforehand. Usually
these alternatives are the following:
0
reinforcement of existing lines and substations
0
installation of shunt capacitors or/and voltage
regulators
0
0

After this modelisation the solution of the static
subproblem can be based on a modification of the
SEM method, presented in paragraph 2.1. This
method will be denoted as Branch Exchange MethodBEM.
The objective function of BEM includes the capital
cost, the operation and maintenance costs, as well as
the energy losses cost. Precisely the algorithm is as
follows:
1. Start: definition of the existing configuration (in
year 0), the load growth rates and the new forecasted
loads, and the reinforcement and extension
alternatives. Definition of the sets of sequential years
(n to m) that the economical configurations subsets
(&-,) will be constructed for. Continue with the first
set of sequential years, and the first substations
combination.
2. Determination of an initial configuration that feeds
all the loads of year (m), without operational limits
violations:
a) Determination of a radial configuration that feeds
all the loads of the year.
b) Reinforcement of the network if voltage or current
flow limits are violated. If a configuration that satisfies
all operational constraints can not be found, go to step
4 (next substation policy).
3.Application of BEM for the determination of the M
more economical (and technically accepted)
configurations (for the given substation policy, for the
sequential years n-m).
4.If there is another substations combination, go to
step 2.
5.If there is another set of sequential years n-m, go to
step 2.
6.At this point the set of selected configurations A has
been constructed, as the union of the subsets &-m
Classif) the selected confgurations to the subsets B,
(Fig.1).

where:
CA(&): the capital cost related with the decision S,
OM(&): the operational maintenance cost
L(&): the cost of the resistive losses
R(t5,,1, &): the cost of the material removed
It can be easily proved that, in the above procedure,
given the current state, an optimal policy for the
remaining stages is independent of the policy adopted
in previous stages (Marcovian property), so that a
dynamic programming solution can be obtained.
The olptimal policy is obtained using standard
procedure of dynamic programming, [11], by the
backward and forward examination of the stages.
