Attribution of losses to final customers in Italy: A new model to be applied in presence of dispersed generation

Losses are unavoidable component of the electrical system. In Italy a proper level of losses is recognized by the Regulator and procured by the suppliers by the application of losses factors. The current model for defining such factors is not able to cope with the higher and higher penetration of dispersed generation. A new model is developed, taking into account both the impact of dispersed generation on distribution network losses and the presence of active grid.
