Analysis on Losses of Distribution Network and Countermeasures to Reduce Losses

Abstract

The thesis describes the loss model of distribution network and gives the transformer loss model and line loss model, Then it proposes some loss reduction measures at the stage of planning and design as well as operation and maintenance. Finally, according to the main problems about the loss reduction measures in China, it puts forward some countermeasures to reduce line loss . Distribution network as part of the end for power configuration which is directly connected with the users of demand side. The loss of distribution network has been high because of feeder radius, complex voltage grade and a large number of devices on the network. The line loss of distribution network represents a major component of the line loss in the whole power system, the line loss of 10kv and below distribution network accounts for about 78% in it according to statistical analysis[1-2]. So, under the current energy shortage situation, there is a great economic and social significance to adopt the reasonable measures to save energy and decrease loss in distribution network.
