| MASTER PLAN DESIGN | ||
|
This module is optional and may be of great help while the urban master plan is work in progress.
No other stage impacts the cost of electrical infrastructure more than initial power master plan, and yet the electrical criteria is not the prime driver in the decision-making process for the selection of the primary substations as well as the secondary substation location. The most significant influence in overall master planning activities are the developers vision and urban design issues. Typically, consideration for the best electrical design becomes a issue. The visual impact of substations on the land value continually drives primary infrastructure away to the outskirts of the load center, the superior position from an electrical point of view. |
The output of the module can be a guide for the final adjustment and fine-tuning activity by the planners and developers, achieving the best equilibrium between infrastructure cost and land value.
The module works on any level of the master planning activity, such as indicating number and location of the main primary substations, considering overall development loads or (in a lesser scale) indicating number and locations of secondary substations within sub-sectors of the development. |
