Combating Overload in Distribution System to Control Power Loss and Increase Reliability

The Indian Power sector is currently undergoing sea change. The pace of economic development along with increasing power demand would require additional generating capacity. Simultaneously increased efficiency in the sector can help in the task of achieving the National perspective of power to everyone by the year 2012. In the effort of reduction in losses in power distribution sector, as per the provisions of Electricity Act 2003, the franchisee of distribution area of Bhiwandi circle of Maharashtra State Electricity Distribution Company (India) is awarded to private entity.In this paper the application of principles in electrical engineering about controlling losses and increasing reliability is discussed. These have achieved the desired results and are also helpful for reducing carbon emission for betterment of humanity in general.
