Integrated approach for loss reduction in power system

Abstract

Power system extends from generation to large distance load end, losses will be there in transmission & distribution section. This paper discusses the effect of capacitor placement, optimum voltage setting of generators, optimum dispatch of active power and SVC placement on power system losses and other technical parameters. IEEE 14 Bus system has been designed as test model in Mipower software. Separate case studies with individual and integrated applications are applied one after the other. Results have been organized for different case considerations. It is obtained that losses can be significantly reduced with optimum application and utilization of available loss reduction methods. The effect on network voltage profile, line loadings and bus angles has been compared with the base case. At the end integrated approach has been designed which is a combined model of applied loss reduction techniques on Test model. Comparison has also been obtained for 10 percent increased load of base condition.
