TORA Software for Modification of Distribution Network

Abstract

PDAM Tirtanadi Medan is a water utility company. According to [1] PDAM Tirtanadi hasn’t built new installation for 10 years. It is predicted that distribution network still forming a circuit so that hasn’t been optimized [2]. The network will be optimal if a pipe installed isn’t forming a circuit without reducing the function of the pipe water. Modification network deleted circuit can be done by looking for minimum spanning tree. Many literatures contain several algorithms to solve minimum spanning tree problem like travelling salesman problem [3,4], Prim’s algorithm [5-7] and Kruskal’s algorithm [8]. In this work, the examination of a circuit done with a minimum spanning tree using TORA software.
