Non-Technical losses in electrical power systems

Suriyamongkol, Dan

Abstract Details

2002, Master of Science (MS), Ohio University, Electrical Engineering & Computer Science (Engineering and Technology).
The purpose of this thesis is to perform an introductory investigation of non-technical losses in power systems. There are losses in power systems that cannot be predicted or calculated beforehand: non-technical losses. The bulk of these losses are likely caused by electricity theft, rather than the other possibilities such as poor maintenance, and calculation and accounting mistakes, though some power systems may suffer from both. This thesis will investigate the loss-related statistics of one specific power system market: Thailand's rural regions. Information presented here would include the magnitude and characteristics of electricity theft, as well as the utility company's measures to curb such losses. Other topics that will be discussed include a comparison with other nations' systems and if-and how - can software simulations of power systems account for non-technical losses. How popular load flow analysis methods can or cannot account for non-technical losses would be the focus of the latter topic.
