Abstract :
This paper presents a method to reduce the technical power loss in distribution systems. The high voltage distribution system is proposed to minimize the technical distribution losses. The analysis is done using CYMDIST. The developed methodology is carried on a Lalpura distribution feeder from the Palwal division (Haryana). The feeder is feeding to 89 Distribution transformers with 200 amperes peak load and having the length of about 76 km. The analysis reveals that converting the existing LVDS system for the agricultural load to HVDS system, there is net reduction in technical losses in the distribution system which in turn raises the efficiency of the system. Also it shows the economic viability of the proposed technique.
