چکیده مقاله :
Every year, a large part of the energy produced by power plants is lost on the way to the consumer in the entire power system, and a significant share of these losses is related to the distribution networks. One of the most important factors affecting losses in distribution networks is the existence of load imbalance due to the random consumption of subscribers and the lack of equal distribution of subscribers among different phases of the network. The main challenge in this field is the lack of an effective method to study the effect of load balancing on the losses of a large-scale network. In this regard, this paper studies the effect of load balancing on network loss reduction by applying the concept of clustering and representative feeders. the effectiveness of the proposed method has been proved by the simulations on the low voltage distribution network of Alborz province, and the results show the high efficiency of the proposed method.
