Abstract
The main object of the paper is to implement a distribution system having negligible losses, high quality of supply and reliability.As, average transmission and distribution losses in India have been officially indicated as 23% of the electricity generated because of the fact that in Indian distribution system, energy is transformed into many intermediate stages before it reaches the consumer. Currently, power supplies are distributed at low voltage leading to the inefficiencies in the system. The main reason for high losses is considered to be the use of low voltage for the distribution of power leading to the high current and thus, more resulting in losses. The work reported in this paper involves the analysis of present condition of electric supply, laying down the general outlines of the most economical distribution system in order to distribute the power safely without affecting the performance of the system and shifting of existing low voltage distribution network to high voltage distribution and then, comparing both the systems in terms of losses. In overall economic point of view, annual savings and payback period is also determined. Keywords- Distribution transformer (DTR), high voltage distribution system (HVDS), low voltage distribution system (LVDS), power losses.
