Transformation of a Model for Estimation of the Power Losses Enhancement in an Allied Grid Company, with Power Factor Compensation in the Consumer’s Network

Abstract

The article shows that using a well-known mathematical model for determining the power and electric energy loss reduction value in an allied grid company requires fairly high competence and quite a lot of time for development. A more simple and available tool for power and electric energy losses determination in an allied grid company may be a polynomial model obtained by transforming a mathematical model using the mathematical experimental design theory. The task of creating an adequate polynomial model is related with the need to reduce the number of variables by taking their values as constants, and also by limiting the factors determination area through elimination of the values, which are far from the real values in practice. A polynomial model has been proposed, which can be used by electric power consumers who are unable to use the mathematical model to obtain important information for a feasibility study on the decision to install a compensating device with a required power.
