6.5.1TheplanningofREDdevelopmentisdonewithaviewtoensuringsafeandstableoperation,with
compliance with the performance standard for electricity distribution service
electric and applying the following principles:
a) using the available capacity of the RED up to its economic limit;
b) choosing the development option with maximum economic efficiency;
c) fulfilling the conditions imposed by the performance standard for the service
of distribution;
ensuring the economic functioning of distribution networks under conditions
variation of the load;
e) compliance with the provisions of personnel security regulations, for prevention
of fires and in environmental protection legislation.

6.5.2TheplanningofREDdevelopmentalsoconsiderstheprevention/limitationofenvironmentalimpact.
on RED, manifested mainly through:
a) chemical pollution, the result of the action of chemical compounds/agencies present in the air,
water, soil or due to human activity;
b) the aggressiveness of the environment (humidity, excessive slime, ice, salinity, winds
powerful, vertical currents - air vortices, etc.
c) natural disasters (earthquakes, floods, landslides);
d) influences of neighboring facilities and asynchronous operation regimes
and/or asymmetrical of industrial consumers;
e) atmospheric discharges;
f) actions with negative effects of some antisocial elements/third parties on
electrical installations, manifested through thefts of materials and equipment from
installations, respectively unauthorized interventions in installations.

6.5.3 The planning of RED development is based on a prospective development study.

an average duration of 3 years and a maximum of 10 years of the respective electrical network, study
technical-economic fundament. The chosen solutions must allow for development
installations and after this period, without essential modifications, with integration
the main elements of existing networks (the solutions should be self-structuring).

6.6 Criteria for verifying the sizing of the RED

6.6.1TheverificationofthesizingoftheREDiscarriedoutinaccordancewiththecurrentenergytechnicalstandards.
considering the following 4 design criteria, namely:
a) the economic criterion;
b) the criterion of thermal stability in steady-state regime;
c) the criterion of thermal and dynamic stability in short-circuit conditions;
d) the criterion for allowable voltage drop.

6.6.2Theeconomiccriteriongenerallyconsiderstheminimizationofasetofexpenses.

annual expenses due to power and energy losses and subsequent annual expenses

6.6.3Forsizing 110 kV RED with operational capabilities in scheme

operable, the criterion (n-1) is also used. For the lines that evacuate energy from
the power plant at this voltage level, the power plants are considered maximum
and minimum operating power. For the 110 kV radial lines and MV installations,
thereservationwillbeestablishedbasedoneconomiccriteria.

6.6.4Thecriterion(n-1)inREDissatisfiedif:
a) the malfunction parameters of the RED fall within the limit parameters of the voltage
of operation and load current, so that it does not jeopardize
the security of operation or the integrity of the equipment, respectively not to
unacceptably reduce the lifespan of these;
b) there are no interruptions in the supply of users connected to the nodes

c) the activation of other installations through the protective devices does not take place
equipment that is not directly affected by the disturbance, involving risk

d) does not allow the modification or interruption of the transfer of power resulting from
long-term agreements.
