Electric Losses in the Industrial Distribution Networks and Methods to Reduce them

Abstract

The article deals with the problems of loss of active and reactive power in distribution networks of an industrial enterprise. The factors influencing the structure of electrical energy losses are identified: technical losses, network configuration, load and operating modes, quality of electrical energy, climatic conditions. Consequences of excess losses in distribution networks are given. The features of the power supply system of industrial enterprises are revealed. The characteristics and basic data of the power supply system of the Kairakkum carpet plant are given. A simplified power supply scheme is considered, considering the losses of active and reactive power in individual nodes of the enterprise's power supply system. The main technical and organizational measures to reduce losses of active and reactive power in distribution networks are stated. The conditions for the implementation of technical and organizational measures to reduce electricity losses have been determined.
