Prototype an algorithm that places batteries near service drop poles.
Roy Hyunjin Han
A battery must be close enough to its discharge point to minimize distribution loss.

This seems to be identical to the problem of placing service drop poles near customers. The difference is that there is no limit to the number of poles per battery.

drop_poles = [
Point(1, 1),
Point(3, 2),
Point(7, 0),

obstacle_geometries = [
Polygon([(1.5, 0), (1.5, 3), (2.5, 3), (2.5, 0)])
]
GeometryCollection(drop_poles + obstacle_geometries)
+ Create a sample dataset of service drop poles
+ Create example obstacles

Remember that the first implementation only considers the case of no roads and no obstacles.

We'll save obstacles for the 3rd implementation.

It seems that each of the batteries are supposed to be placed on a distribution line and distances to each service drop are computed as measured along the distribution line. We'll save that for the 2nd implementation.
