RESUMO

This work focuses on the development of a new methodology for calculating technical losses within the different segments of the electric distribution system. In order to evaluate technical losses the electrical system was divided into eight segments: energy meter, customer connections, secondary feeder, distribution transformer, primary feeder, distribution substation, high voltage system and another segment that represents other technical losses. The latter comprises losses in equipment such as capacitors and voltage regulators as well as losses in electric connections, isolators, etc. A computational system was developed and it comprises two modules. The first one is intended to calculate technical losses in specific networks. The calculation is made in a hierarchical manner. If a distribution substation is selected for the calculation, the losses in that substation and the losses in all components downstream are calculated. The technical losses, in terms of energy and demand, are obtained by utilizing network topological data, consumed energy data and typical load curves per customer class and activity type. An energy losses index, calculated as a percentage of the supplied energy, is obtained for each segment by applying this module to the entire utility’s power system or in a representative part of it. These values are transferred to the second module, which has the objective of determining the overall energy balance. Technical and non-technical losses, in terms of energy, in each segment are obtained by utilizing the total amount of energy supplied to the system, energy consumed and energy losses indices per segment. This work shows the results obtained by applying the computational tool to a real distribution system. Such results are compared with the ones obtained by using other methodologies, and the main advan ages of this new methodology are outlined.
