Evaluation of Distribution System Losses Due to Load Unbalance

Year: 2005

Type: conference-paper

Abstract: – Distribution network losses can vary sig-nificantly depending on the load unbalance. Here, an analysis of distribution system losses is presented that considers load unbalance and the effect of explicitly rep-resented neutral wire. A general power flow algorithm for three-phase four-wire radial distribution networks, based on the current summation backward-forward technique is applied. Loss analysis results obtained from three-phase four-wire medium and low voltage test feeders with un-balanced load scenarios are presented and discussed considering: a) original phase and neutral wires resis-tances; and b) resistances obtained by performing Kron’s reduction.
