Summary:The manual design of the underground electrical supply system for new residential developments (electrical plat design) results often in an overdesigned, costly and nonstandardized solution. The Intelligent Decision Support System for Automated Electrical Plat Design (IDSS for AEPD) is an engineering tool aimed at automating electrical plat design. This tool, currently under development at Puget Power and the University of Washington, combines the spatial analysis capabilities of a Geographic Information System (GIS) with the sophistication of Artificial Intelligence (AI) to deal with the complexity inherent in this type of problem. This paper presents the results of the AEPD prototype implementation and feasibility evaluation of the AEPD concept. The development of the AEPD tool concept is presented in companion paper.
