Possibilities of more economical distribution network exploitation in Serbia

Preliminary analysis showed big costs of distribution network operation in Serbia, caused by considerable losses. These costs can be reduced by cheap actions, with great benefits. Costs reduction measures involve optimal medium voltage (MV) network reconfiguration based on application of new algorithm, better voltage regulation using 110/X kV and 35/X kV transformers, and urgent low-volume investments that produce considerable technical and economical effects. These facts inspired big project whose aim was to implement measures to enable more economical MV distribution network operation in the area of Public Utility Elektrosrbija Kraljevo (Elektrosrbija).
