Highlights
Energy loss in an electric power system is the difference between energy input to the system and the energy billed on the consumption of consumers connected to that particular power system
Energy losses occur at different levels of the power system, namely in electricity generation, transmission and distribution
The number of cases contributing to non-technical loss is 100 and it is 8.8% of the total number of meters tested
Summary
Energy loss in an electric power system is the difference between energy input to the system and the energy billed on the consumption of consumers connected to that particular power system. Energy losses occur at different levels of the power system, namely in electricity generation, transmission and distribution. The level of transmission and distribution losses in the country remains around 14% of the gross electricity generation. Modern distribution utilities have to operate their systems at stipulated voltage levels, provide required power demands, and maintain high levels of reliability Whilst doing that, they have to make every effort to minimize all forms of losses in order to sustain their business in an era of energy crisis. Distribution losses consist of electrical energy losses at different levels and different forms in the distribution system. When the losses are segregated, the distribution network utility can formulate strategies and take corrective measures to reduce losses at different levels and in different forms, and thereby effectively reduce the overall distribution losses
