Assessing and Mitigating Power System Losses in Utilities through the Use of Advanced Metering Infrastructure: The Case of Lebanon

Richa Kumari

Abstract


Non-technical power losses (NTL) address a huge extent of power misfortunes in creating as well as evolved nations. All the more explicitly, NTL in dispersion areas comprise the significant piece of the general power misfortunes at worldwide level, and especially in agricultural nations. They address an avoidable monetary misfortune for the utility in this manner forcing a significant monetary weight on states as well as confidential utilities. The principal objective of this paper is to decide, precisely, and to lessen, definitely, the NTL in the Lebanese power dispersion area by executing an Electrical cable Transporter (PLC) based Progressed Metering Foundation (AMI) framework. The instrument used to lessen framework misfortunes depends on corresponding energy at different voltage levels, i.e., age, transmission, conveyance, and end clients. What's more, this framework fundamentally affects the misfortune decrease since it empowers the neighborhood electric influence utility to identify a wide range of power robbery. The proposed PLC based AMI framework is contrasted with other correspondence media thinking about a few factors, for example, ideal answer for limit NTL, expenses of execution, and others.
