Abstract
This paper describes methods for estimating losses and opportunities for reducing losses in large transmission systems. Results from segregating the losses by voltage class and equipment type are presented. Hardware and soft approaches for reducing losses are discussed. Use of optimal power flow for loss reduction in operations is described. Some loss metrics are suggested for evaluating the effectiveness of loss reduction initiatives.
