Losses reduction in transmission lines ( Case study : Sudanese national grid

Abstract

Energy losses occur in the process of supplying electricity to the consumer due to technical and commercial losses. The overall aim of this research is reducing losses in Sudanese National Grid using NEPLAN software. The techniques has been used are Adding small generation and Unified power flow controller (UPFC).The optimal location for generation was MARNGAN and the losses has been reduced to less than its value at base case. The Line stability index has been used to detect the optimal location for UPFC which was the line connecting between MARNGAN and HASAHESA.
