I want to define individual circuits in a meshed electric transmission network. Each circuit is formed by a series of connected cables that start at one substation and end at another substation. If two cables run (side by side) between these two substations, then they are two circuits. The station interior is not to be considered in the circuit creation, all circuits start and terminate outside stations.
My idea is to form the circuits using the subnetwork functionality of the Utility Network. However, I am not able to make the circuits end at the relevant points unless I interrupt the electric flow by an open switch. In reality, however, the switches are not open, which means that the circuits are more of a theoretical definition.
How do I have to configure my utility network resp. which object can I use to let a subnetwork deliberately end at a certain point in the network, independent of the switching state of the objects? Is this possible at all?
Looking at Esri’s Electric Utility Network Foundation data, it seems to be possible, but I haven't figured out how yet. Unfortunately, I am not an electrical specialist but try to translate given data into Utility Network.
Has anybody an idea if my approach is feasible and if yes, how?
