Instruments and Systems: Monitoring, Control, and Diagnostics Annotation << Back Method of Automated Control of Power Losses in Distribution Electric Networks T.T. OMOROV, ZH.S. IMANAKUNOVA, B.K. TAKYRBASHEV, R.CH. OSMONOVA, T.O. ZHANYBAEV The problem of automated control of technical and commercial power losses in distribution electrical networks (DEN) is considered using operational data coming from electricity meters of the automated system for monitoring and accounting for electricity (ASMAE). At present, as part of the existing ASMAE used to automate and informatize processes in DEN, this task is essentially not solved, which reduces the technical and economic performance of distribution energy companies. To solve this problem, the concept of a virtual network model is introduced that describes the desired (idealized) state of the DEN in the absence of external disturbing influences in the form of unauthorized consumers of electricity. Estimates of their parameters and a system of algebraic equations are obtained for identifying technical and commercial losses of electricity in a real distribution network. An algorithm for solving the generated equations has been developed. The proposed method is aimed at creating special software for the subsystem of operational monitoring of electricity losses in distribution networks as part of ASMAE.
