Abstract

Recently, the frequent extreme natural disasters made enormous damage to the electric grid leading to blackouts. The lifeline system aiming at providing continuous power supply for the important load in extreme natural disasters was designed in that condition. In this paper, a developed model for planning of the transformer substation in lifeline system  which considered the effect of existing transformer substations, the motivated areas and punishment areas was proposed. The Hopfield NN was adopted to solve the feeders and the PSO was adopted to new the locations of the transformer substations based on the feeders. The planning result not only took fully use of the existing substation but also get the suitable location for new construction which was satisfactory.
