13 Appendix C - Clustering

Algorithm 2 Routing
Require: Base topology, line parameters, lines set 1: while Routing is successful (the network is connected and feasible) do
2: Remove the most expensive line (by length) from the lines set
3: Proceed to step 4 if connected else go to step 7
4: Compute admittance matrix, perform load flow, proceed to step
5 if converged else go to step 7
5: Proceed to step 6 if the voltage and currents are within bounds
else go to 7
6: Save the network, update the lines set and go to step 2
7: Keep the previous network, remove this line from the lines set, go to step 2.
8: end while

Note:
The table lists the clusters characteristics on a scale going from 1 to 5: ++=Very high, +=High, o=Average, -=Low, –=Very low. If no clear trend stands up, the characteristic is marked as x=Not decisive.
1 Highest values;
* Clusters have the same exact value;
† No geothermal potential;
