Abstract

This work shows how to achieve a substation wire busbar design by means of genetic algorithms (GA). Major parameters of busbars are mapped into a chromosome like a string. This includes insulators and wire types, geometry, thrust requirements and operating parameters. GA operators are performed on a population of such strings and subsequently a natural selection is expected to occur. The design performance is obtained by using the busbar price as the fitness function. The steel structure is modelled as 3D truss. GA performance is presented in one example.
