❑It is estimated that transmission and distribution losses are 23% of electricity generated in our country.
❑Transmission and distribution losses has two parts technical and commercial.
❑Technical losses are due to energy dissipated in the electricity conductors and equipment used for transmission.
❑Commercial losses are due to pilferage.use of defective meters,wrong reading of meters,and estimation of unmetered power supply.
✏️Methods to Reduce Technical Losses:
❑Identify the weak areas in the distribution system and improve them.
❑Reduce length LTlines by relocating substations or use additional distribution transformers.
❑Install distribution transformers at each consumer point instead of grouping them.
❑Use a shunt capacitor to improve power factor.
❑Do efficient planning of primary and secondary distribution system.
✏️Methods to Reduce Commercial Losses:
❑Set norms of severe penalties for tampering of meters and seals.
❑Appoint vigilance squads to periodically check and prevent theft of electricity.
❑Conduct mandatory audits for energy received and sales in each area.
❑Improve meter design to reduce chances of tampering.
❑Conduct regular meter testing and replacement of faulty meters, Practice regularly.
