Abstract:

To improve the quality and economy of the electricity distribution Aggregate Technical and Commercial (AT&C) minimization is the critical component. In the existing Low Voltage Distribution System (LVDS) where the consumer loads are supplied from a single large capacity transformer and the loads are not uniformly distributed from the Starting bus to the Tail End bus. The existing 415 V distribution system with single 315KVA transformer is considered for analysis and comparison of distribution loss reduction techniques. In this, the existing Low Voltage Distribution system of Ashoka Garden Bhopal M.P. Sub-Station Layout has been simulated with the help of ELECTRICAL TRANSIENT ANALYSIS PROGRAM (ETAP) software and the distribution losses and voltage profile of the system have been identified in order to improve efficiency of the distribution system. Further capacitor banks are used at load buses to supply reactive power demand of load to minimise distribution losses and to improve voltage profile of the system. Hence, to minimize the losses HVDS with some modifications is introduced to get the desired results. HVDS is implemented for the same number of consumers as in LVDS and distribution losses and voltage profile of the system is determined.
