Abstract
A multi-phase losses allocation method is proposed which provides explicit information about losses allocated to the neutral. This information can be used by DSO in implementing suitable techniques for better management of Active Distribution Networks (ADNs). A new methodology, based upon Neutral Losses Allocation Factors (NLAFs), is proposed in this paper, which reduces the unbalance in a network by switching loads across phases of highly unbalanced nodes. The proposed technique is implemented on a real LV Italian distribution network by adopting real customer’s power profiles. The results show that a significant reduction in unbalance and network losses can be achieved by phase switching of the loads, which indicate that NLAFs can be used as a significant indicator for assessment and management of ADNs.
