Short-Term Measures for Technical Loss Reduction
The short-term measures involve measures needs for immediate improvement and reduction of losses within the system. These are based upon the information / data readily available along with the utilities. The works proposed under this plan should be based on the sample studies/statistical check/scrutiny of the existing system details.
Short-term Measures for Technical Loss Reduction
- Network Reconfiguration
- Network Reconductoring
- Preventing Leakages at Insulators
- Employing AVB (Automatic Voltage Booster)
- Distribution Transformers will managed better
- Load Balancing and Load Management
- Capacitor Installation (Series or Shunt)
- Improving Joints and Connections
- Laying Additional Link Lines
- Increase in HT:LT Ratio
- The High Voltage Distribution System Adoption (HVDS)
- Daily Maintenance of Distribution Network
- Creation of Primary Substation
A combination of one or more of the above measures would have to be taken to bring the losses down to acceptable levels.
