Improvements in the computation of balances and localization of commercial losses of electric energy in 0.38-kV networks

An example of four 0.38-kV overhead distribution lines fed from a 10/0.4-kV transformer substation of the Grodno Electrical Networks (Belarus’) and supplying electricity to a cottage area is used for analyzing energy balances and commercial losses in the networks. It is shown that the reliability of such analysis can be ensured by the use of modern software and electronic energy meters recording a retrospective of half-hourly intervals of active and reactive electric energy. __________ Translated from élektricheskie Stantsii, No. 9, September 2006, pp. 51–61.
