In Previous Unit, you have learnt that technical losses in power systems occur due to energy dissipated in the conductors and equipment used for transmission,transformation, sub-transmission and distribution of power. The technical losses in our power systems are high especially in the distribution systems. In this unit, we describe the measures that can be taken to reduce the technical losses and overcome the existing deficiencies in the system to achieve the overall objectives. You must understand that technical losses can be reduced and brought down to acceptable levels but cannot be made zero.
The causes of high technical losses are varied and require different remedial measures to be implemented to bring them down to acceptable levels. The measures which can be implemented in a short period of time, viz. within 1-2 years are called short-term measures and those which can be completed in 3-5 years time are called long-term measures. This unit will help you in comprehending these measures for reducing technical losses to acceptable levels, in the Indian context. In the next unit, we discuss the steps needed for commercial loss reduction.
