Measurement Procedure for Commercial Loss Reduction in a Distribution Power System
نویسندگان
چکیده
Subject review Total power losses in a power system consist of technical losses and commercial losses. Commercial losses are 30-40 % of total losses and appear as a result of unreliable measurement devices for electricity registering and wilful unauthorised consumption of electricity. It is almost impossible to find illegal connections in a distribution power system due to hidden main power cables in the house walls or underground. A proposed and elaborated measurement procedure based on time domain reflectometer successfully solves the problem described.

متن کاملAssessing the Impact of Size and Site of DGs and SMs in Active Distribution Networks for Energy Losses Cost
The presence of responsive loads in the promising active distribution networks (ADNs) would definitely affect the power system problems such as distributed generations (DGs) studies. Hence, an optimal procedure is proposed herein which takes into account the simultaneous placement of DGs and smart meters (SMs) in ADNs. SMs are taken into consideration for the sake of successful implementing of ...
متن کاملEconomic Evaluation of Optimal Capacitor Placement in Reconfiguration Distribution System Using Genetic Algorithm
Optimal capacitor placement, considering power system loss reduction, voltage profile improvement, line reactive power decrease and power factor correction, is of particular importance in power system planning and control. The distribution system operator calculates the optimal place, number and capacity of capacitors based on two major purposes: active power loss reduction and return on invest...
متن کاملOptimal Capacitor Allocation in Radial Distribution Networks for Annual Costs Minimization Using Hybrid PSO and Sequential Power Loss Index Based Method
In the most recent heuristic methods, the high potential buses for capacitor placement are initially identified and ranked using loss sensitivity factors (LSFs) or power loss index (PLI). These factors or indices help to reduce the search space of the optimization procedure, but they may not always indicate the appropriate placement of capacitors. This paper proposes an efficient approach for t...
