CALCULATION OF ELECTRICITY LOSSES IN RURAL POWER TRANSMISSION LINES WITH 6-10 KV VOLTAGE

Аннотация

This study presents a detailed analysis of electricity losses in rural power transmission lines operating at 6-10 kV, using SAIDI and SAIFI reliability indices for post-implementation assessments. To proactively evaluate operational efficiency, we model energy losses in the system’s components, including substations, overhead lines, cable lines, and step-down transformers. The Qibray 35/6 kV substation is used as a case study for calculating these losses. Our findings highlight that additional losses are notably higher than calculated losses, emphasizing the importance of external factors in loss modeling. This comprehensive approach offers insights into enhancing system reliability and performance for rural power distribution systems.
