- Abstract:
- This work proposes a method that allows the remote measurement of the electric power demand of clusters consisting of a small group of consumers that are connected to a line section of the distribution network and concentrated in an electricity pole.
The method is based on the detection of the electrical current and voltage changes at both ends of a distribution line section, and then computing the demand of the clusters. Due to the statistical nature of the electricity consumption, coincident demand steps of the users can cause some error that can be considered as noise perturbing the measurement signal. The measurement error characteristics are predicted through simulation.
The obtained results show that the new technique can be an efficient tool to reduce technical and non-technical losses in the electricity distribution network. - Keywords:
