Abstract

A visual program was created for the sole purpose of analyzing the optimum conductor among the common ACRS conductors for electric cooperative system loss reduction. The method of analysis is polynomial regression line method in which the optimum conductor is chosen mathematically based from the user's input of electrical and economic values. Using the input parameters, the trend lines of the ACSR conductors per demand kW) with respect to its present worth(Php) were then obtained. The intersections of the curves were computed using the quadratic formula. The intersection signifies the point in which a smaller conductor and a larger conductor have the same present worth value. Due to the same present worth, the larger conductor id therefore preferable due to its size. The programs outputs the table of minimum and maximum load, load reach and PW cost of each ACSR conductor. It is then the user's prerogative to choose the conductor to be utilized in reference to the output values. Since both electrical and economic parameters are incorporated, the program ensures that the electric cooperative system loss reduction that is both electrically efficient and economically feasible.
