If a load is supplied through a SS far from the node the voltage drop should not be larger
than a maximum allowable drop. This can be formulated as shown in Eqn. (9), where is the

The least cost results have been obtained for all the six cases/systems using DE. The
execution time for solving SEP problem for Tamil Nadu using DE is almost 30 seconds for all
the cases. The convergence graph of DE for solving SEP problem of Tamil Nadu for Case 1 is
illustrated in Figure 7. The graph depicts that the DE algorithm is converged after about 150
iterations.
6. CONCLUSIONS
Substation expansion planning (SEP) is one of the important parts of the power system
expansion planning studies. The diversity of decision variables in the SEP problem has made the
solution process more difficult. This paper introduced a new method for solving the SEP as an
optimization problem. Optimization method was based on Differential Evolution algorithm. The
real-time power system of Tamil Nadu is considered and the results of SEP by the use of DE are
obtained. The results showed that DE is more efficient in finding the optimal solutions. The
results of applying BFOA on the real network showed the functional capabilities of the presented
method. The loads have been observed to be adequately supplied. From a set of selected possible
candidate locations chosen as potential sites for substation location in a large area, optimal
locations such that with the least costs, various operational constraints are met have been
successfully obtained together with the optimal substation capacities in these locations.
