  • Abstract
    It is well known that losses at power networks constitute an undesired reality, since they increase, among others, energy inefficiency, global cost of the system and levels of CO2 emissions. In 2006, figures showed a total energy emission to networks of 49 177 GWh and aggregated losses in the Portuguese transmission and distribution networks of 3 730 GWh (8,48% referred to network energy consumption).
