This paper discusses about the modeling of the substation automation system cable planning as an integer linear optimization problem to generate an efficient cable plan for substation automation systems
1 IntroductionCabling between different devices of a substation automation system (SAS) is a major cost factor in the SAS design process
Usually computer aided design software is used to create t
