Popis: The growth of electricity demand in Argentina leads to the system expansion in generation, transmission and distribution networks in that country. Regarding distribution networks, a typical problem arises when a distribution company or a large customer must choose the location of its electrical substations; because this decision will determine the total cost of the installation. With the aim of minimize these costs, this paper proposes a search algorithm in order to determine the optimal location of electrical substations. This algorithm is implemented in Matlab® and it is tested in two case studies.
