Description
Summary:The paper presents the results of the implementation of a program for reducing technical active energy losses in the distribution network operated by Delgaz Grid DSO (Distribution System Operator). Measures applied to reduce technical losses addresses both transformers at the MV / LV transformer substations and the LV network power lines. The impact of these measures has been assessed using pilot networks with structures and electrical characteristics known in detail. For the phase load balancing measure two methods have been proposed, one based on a bottom-up constructive approach and the other based on identifying a (sub)optimal solution using meta-heuristic techniques
