Abstract
Calculation of electric demand is discussed as a critical component in the design of power distribution system (PDS). A hierarchical model of a PDS structure used for demand calculations is used to identify lower levels and upper levels of loads which consists of load centers, substations, and lines connecting them. Thorough calculations result in better understanding of the processes in power distribution design and analysis and allow for different variants in PDS configuration. One of the most important features is considered to be the relevance of utilization factor from the number of loads.
