ABOUT THE STUDY

The major share of distribution loss results from the LT distribution network, centered at distribution transformers. Also majority of power interruptions and power quality issues are attributable to problems associated with LT distribution system. Hence Energy Management Centre-Kerala (EMC), as a part of its SDA activity (State Designated Agency to implement Energy Conservation Act, 2001 in the State) submitted a proposal, for a study titled, Identification of Technical Loss Reduction and Rationalization of Secondary Distribution System at selected typical three distribution transformers (as a model) in the Kerala Power System, to the Bureau of Energy Efficiency (BEE), Ministry of Power, Government of India. The objective of the project was Rationalization of Secondary Distribution System through a Micro Level Approach and to generate replicable model for studying the Energy Efficiency Improvement in Distribution System. In the first phase Kerala State Electricity Board (KSEB) was contacted for identifying three Distribution Transformers on the basis of one location each from Urban, Rural and Semi-Urban areas. KSEB suggested the following distribution transformers and the secondary distribution network associated with them. i. ii. iii. Housing Board250kVA transformer in Electrical Section, Puthenchantha, Electrical Division, Thiruvananthapuram Thirumoolapuram, 250 kVA transformer in Electrical Section, Thiruvalla, Electrical Division, Kottayam Kalpaka, 160kVA transformer in Electrical Section, Sulthanpet, Electrical Division, Palakkad.

The study was successfully completed in 2010 and report was submitted to Honble Minister for Power and Transport , The Principal Secretary (Power), The chairman Kerala State Electricity Board and Bureau of Energy Efficiency . As second phase KSEB suggested the following distribution transformers and the secondary distribution network associated with them. i. Puthenkeda, 250kVA Transformer in Parassala, Thiruvananthapuram ii. Paigottai, 250 kVA Transformer in Ayancheri, Vadakara, Kozhikode. iii. Attapallam , 250kVA Transformer in Kanjikode, Palakkad Each location was studied in detail in order to capture the representative energy end use pattern, demand profile vis-a-vis transformer loading, power flow etc. The details of the study including a model for replicating the study are given in this report
