A STUDY OF REDUCING THE POWER TRANSMISSION AND DISTRIBUTION LOSSES

  • Dr. Manoj Jain

Abstract

Abstract:- In India, average T & D (Transmission & Distribution) losses, have been officially indicated as 23 percent of the electricity generated. However, as per sample studies carried out by independent agencies including TERI, these losses have been estimated to be as high as 50 percent in some states . In a recent study carried out by SBI Capital Markets for DVB, the T & D losses have been estimated as 58%. This is contrary to claims by DVB that their transmission and distribution losses are between 40 and 50 percent with the setting up of State Regulatory Commissions in the country, accurate estimation of T & D Losses has gained importance as the level of losses directly affects the sales and power purchase requirements and hence has a bearing on the determination of electricity tariff of a utility by the commission. Keywords:- T & D losses, Consumer. Technical, Distribution.
