Recently I have read some papers indicating that it can be cost effective to upsize cables to minimise the cost of ongoing energy loss in the cable, rather than just the construction cost. However determining the optimum point from considering cable, labour, raceway and energy costs is typically not done, since the cost of engineering to prove it is worthwhile can be significant and not an easy sell to a client when the outcome is uncertain.
However if an otherwise useful design tool already had this functionality built into it, then providing some concrete scenarios options to the client would not be too onerous. Is there any software that can do this?
cheers, Ben
