Abstract

In this paper, characterizing transmission losses according to their origin is carried out. Transmission loss is decomposed into three components. The first is due to the current flow from generators to loads. The second is due to the circulating current between generators. The third represents the contribution of network structure and controls to increasing or decreasing transmission losses. Analytical proofs of the proposed loss decomposition are presented along with methods of allocating each component to the parties contributing to it. Illustration on simple dc and ac systems is presented. Results of application of the proposed method compared with other methods are also presented.
