Abstract

Various studies on the transmission and distribution power losses had been conducted but a global view of the transmission and distribution power loss rates had not been explored yet. This paper explained the fractal dimension of the global distribution and transmission power losses using fractal statistical analysis. Findings revealed that the computed fractal dimension of 1.08 means that power losses of countries across the globe deviated from uniformity by about 8 percent. The upper and bottom eight (8) percent of the dataset were analyzed and findings revealed that the ruggedness of the phenomenon was attributable to political and economic dimensions. The extreme high distribution and transmission power losses may be traced back to chaos, pilferage, and substandard materials. On the other hand, the economic stability and state control capacity contributed much to the extreme low distribution and transmission power losses. Keywords: fractal analysis, power loss, power transmission and distribution, xfractal.
