This paper presents an efficient method for reducing losses 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.

Abstract


This paper presents an efficient method for reducing losses 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.
