Voltage Profile Enhancement and Power Loss Reduction with Economic Feasibility Using Small Capacity Distribution Transformers

Usually, rural areas can be electrified via three-phase distribution transformers with relatively large capacities. In such areas, low voltage lines are used for long distances, which cause power losses and drop different types of consumers. Reducing improving profiles in networks significant challenges electricity companies. However solutions were proposed the literature to overcome these challenges, most them face difficulties when applied conventional network. To address above issues, an applicable solution is this paper by installing a number small-capacity instead every single large-capacity transformer areas. The approach implemented branch network Al-Hoqool village, belongs Nineveh has been inspected on-site, drawn, analyzed using electrical systems analysis program (ETAP). showed that single-phase pole-mounted improve network’s end 29% enhance profile all also demonstrated modification reduce total 78% compared existing Concerning economic aspect, payback period assigned 20 months.
