A portion of generated electrical power is lost in transmission and distribution systems while serviced to endusers. These losses are called technical and non-technical losses in electricity distributions systems. With privatization processes taken place over the world, huge debate arose regarding nontechnical losses. In this study, information about types of losses in distribution systems, privatization process in Turkish electricity distribution network and current loss percentages are given. Possible alterations in distribution network topology to decrease non-technical losses are examined using analytical methods. Best methodology against non-technical losses is determined for different network topologies and customer characteristics, using AHP method. Choosing a pilot network, in which losses are considerably high, a case study is conducted. Cost-benefit analysis is performed within the scope of case study. Results of the case study indicate substantial potential for reducing non-technical losses by just altering network topology, where 1.6% reduction in overall T& L rates is estimated.

A Strategy to Evaluate Solar Power Generation Capability Based on Historical Data Şengül, Deniz; Göl, Murat (2018-09-07) The rapid population of the distributed PV systems brings concerns about system reliability and voltage quality of the power systems. This paper aims to evaluate the effects of those plants to the voltage quality and system reliability of power systems. The paper develops a statistical analysis method by developing metrics for a photovoltaic power plant located in Ankara, Turkey, using power generation data. The generation data involves all uncertainty associated with weather conditions as well as environme...
Optimal allocation of sectionalizing switches in rural distribution systems Daldal, Mustafa; Özay, Nevzat; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2011) The distribution system which forms the final connection between customers and power source plays a vital role in an electrical network. Different studies show that substantial proportion of the customer interruptions occurs due to the failures on distribution network. The ongoing privatization process of the electrical distribution services in Turkey raises the importance of reliable and continuous electricity supply significantly. The new regulations come up with this privatization process and the electri...
A Current Source Converter-Based Active Power Filter for Mitigation of Harmonics at the Interface of Distribution and Transmission Systems Terciyanli, Alper; Avci, Tulay; Yilmaz, Ilker; Ermis, Cezmi; Kose, Kemal Nadir; Acik, Adnan; Kalaycioglu, Alper Sabri; Akkaya, Yener; Cadirci, Isik; Ermiş, Muammer (2012-07-01) A medium-power current source converter (CSC)-based shunt active power filter (APF) system is designed and implemented to suppress the amplification of low-order harmonics at the medium-voltage (MV) interface bus between the distribution and transmission systems, owing to the presence of large shunt capacitor banks installed only for reactive power compensation. Four CSC-based APF modules designed at 1.0 kV are operated in parallel and connected to the 31.5-kV MV bus via a specially designed coupling transf...
The performance and efficiency of envelope elimination and restoration transmitters for future multiple-input multiple-output wireless local area networks Nesimoglu, T.; Parker, S. C. J.; Morris, K. A.; McGeehan, J. P. (Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET), 2008-03-01) The inefficiency of contemporary power amplifiers ( PAs), when operating in their linear region, is a major obstacle to mobile operation of wireless local area networks ( WLANs) based on IEEE 802.11n. Therefore the use of more efficient envelope elimination and restoration ( EER) transmitter architectures is considered. In addition to high efficiency it is also necessary to satisfy the spectral mask and achieve satisfactory link- level performance. Link- level simulations of a contemporary WLAN PA show that...
A Geographical Zoning Methodology for Nodal Transmission Use-of-System Tariffs Cebeci, M. E.; Tor, O. B.; Gencoglu, C.; Güven, Ali Nezih (2012-07-26) Power systems are generally separated into transmission use-of-tariff (TUoT) zones to simplify the tariff mechanism, particularly for large grids. Each zone is an aggregation of neighboring nodes with similar tariffs that are determined based on long-run marginal cost (LRMC) calculations. This paper proposes a zoning methodology which ensures diversification of zonal tariffs while geographically aggregating the nodal TUoTs by weighted average approach. Investment cost-related pricing (ICRP) and DC-load-flow...
