Distribution loss reduction in a University of North East India through load factor improvement

The distribution losses in the distribution network causes disproportion in the voltage profile and the power balance in the concerned power system. In order to reduce distribution losses in the network, the load factor of the connected power system has to be improved through load management. After studying the load profile of Tezpur University, the appropriate load replacement and load scheduling has been done in order to achieve improvement in the load factor for the distribution system of Tezpur University.
