Abstract

This paper presents a new active power loss allocation (LA) scheme for fair allocation of losses among the end-user with due consideration to deregulation in power supply. In this deregulated environment, the developed technique assigns losses judiciously because it has simplified the difficulties lying with the division of cross-term power loss equation analytically without any assumptions and approximations. Further, it establishes a direct relationship between two end-voltages of a branch and its subsequent load currents, in terms of node-injected complex powers. This LA scheme assigns losses to the network participants with due consideration to their demands, power factors, and geographical locations in the network. Again, the strategy followed for remuneration of distributed generators (DGs) awards all benefits of network loss reduction (NLR) to the DG owners in terms of incentives/penalties after analyzing their actual impact towards system loss reduction. The effectiveness of the proposed method is not only investigated at different load levels but also with various types of DG power injection using a 33-bus radial distribution network (RDN) with/without DGs. The comparison results obtained signify the novelty of the present technique in contrast to other discussed established methods.
