Description
Summary:The reduction of energy losses in distribution systems is an important issue during planning and operation, with important technical and economical implications. The paper presents an improved fuzzy method, based on the clustering techniques, for energy losses estimation of distribution feeders. This method uses the installed power and loading level of transformers as fuzzy numbers, thing that reflects better the uncertainty from the distribution networks and it can be applied for different distribution network.
