Abstract

To calculate the losses of distribution feeders, this paper uses an iterative method that is limited to restricted measurements. The approach presented in this paper uses bill data in addition to output information from a very small number of real-time measurements located on the secondary side of distribution transformers. This method attempts to estimate the load of distribution transformers injected into LV feeders. Energy losses for LV feeders are evaluated by first estimating the power and periodic energy injected to each of the LV feeders and then subtracting the total consumption bills from these estimated values. By using this method, the amount of energy loss is estimated. In this article, a new method called iterative power factor adjustment method is considered as a potential method for estimating losses. The power factor can be increased by repeatedly using evolutionary algorithms and including capacitors in the system. In order to reduce system losses and increase network effectiveness. In this paper, a new method for examining and evaluating Non-Technical Losses (NTL) is proposed. This method considers load estimation and limited measurement to place high priority feeders.
