ANALYSIS OF LOSSES FOR DISTRIBUTION NETWORK PLANNING AND OPERATION

This paper describes the new customer load models in Finland and their use in load flow studies of radial distribution feeders. Two simplified loss analysis methods and examples of their usage in network operation are presented. One method is based on the determination of a loss load factor for each part of the network and time span separately, and the other on linearization of the loss function to determine a loss factor for each load point.
