Abstract

Energy losses represent an important indicator for the planning and operation of electric distribution networks. These depend upon a number of parameters and variables, such as the nominal circuit voltage, the installed transformer capacity, the number of transformation points, the load level, etc. In this paper is described an approach to determine the energy losses levels using the K-Means Clustering Method. The methodology is applied to an electric distribution network having the nominal voltage of 6 kV.
