Abstract

This paper contains a strategy to minimize the power losses in the electrical distribution network of Kosovo. In order to develop the strategy, a model was constructed to simulate an electrical distribution network, and different parameters were included that helped in estimation of the technical power losses in the medium voltage (MV) distribution network. The main objective of this paper is to present approach to minimize technical and non-technical losses in power systems. The analysis of the Kosovo electric power system was performed by means of PSS/E 3.3 software. The results indicate options for reduction of the loses by replacement of old type of transformers and preparation of the MV system for upgrade and change the voltage level from 10 kV to 20 kV. As a first step new 110/10kV transformers can be installed, designed to be reconnected in the future to 110/20kV.
