Abstract


This paper presents an efficient method for reducinglosses in existing LT- distribution system.The study is based on a real distribution Monroe feeder in Tamilnadu state. In this study, main focus is given on the reduction of distribution losses by converting “LT distribution system” to “LT- Less distribution system”. Under this proposed LT- Less distribution system; power is distributed mainly through HT (11 KV) lines with small rating distribution transformers. This paper presents the comparison of existing LT- distribution system with proposed LT-Less distribution system in terms of losses.

In this paper, a program under ETAP is designed to calculate power losses (I2R loses) in the both existing LT-distribution system and proposed LT- Less distribution system.Moreover,the calculation of reduction in losses, annual savings and payback period of the proposed method has been done by using programming in ETAP.
