SYSTEM AND METHODS FOR OPTIMIZING DISTRIBUTION NETWORK DESIGNS IN REAL-TIME

摘要

A system and methods for optimizing distribution network designs are disclosed. In some embodiments, the disclosed system detects placement of a component in a network design. In response, the disclosed system generates multiple design alternatives incorporating the component in different configurations and/or at different locations. The disclosed system determines in parallel a design goal metric associated with at least one design goal that is to be optimized for each of the design alternatives including the original design. The disclosed system then identifies a preferred network design based on the goal metrics. The goal metric of the preferred distribution network design indicates a higher level of optimization with respect to the at least one design goal compared to other of the design alternatives. By performing the optimization, the disclosed system ensures that the optimal configuration is selected and applied in the design.
