Influence of smart metering systems on increasing the accuracy of calculation electrical power losses in electrical networks

摘要

The article discusses the possibility of using data from smart electricity meters (SEM) to increase the accuracy of calculation losses in 0.4 kV low-voltage networks. An increase in accuracy can be achieved using actual data about the load graph of electricity consumers (in this case, 6(10)-0.4 kV transformer substations are meant). To date, the operating load factor is taken equal to 0.5, which does not always correspond to the actual data. Using SEM, actual load graphs can be obtained, which enable more accurate determination of the operating load factor. Consequently, the accuracy of calculation of electrical energy losses will be increased.
