dc.description.abstractElectrical energy is usually generated long distances from the load centres; therefore, it needs an extensive network of conductors to bring it to the consumers. Due to the long distance covered by these conductors, power losses occur in the distribution system. Power losses affect the system's efficiency, reducing grid reliability, voltage instability, needless switchgear tripping, and blackouts. Power losses could be technical and non-technical. Technical losses are inherent due to the component on the distribution network; thus, it is unavoidable and can only be reduced, not eliminated. This paper evaluates the power loss on the 11 kV Igosun distribution feeder, Offa, Kwara State using the backward forward sweep algorithm implemented in MATLAB platform. The data, extracted from the feeder's topology, were used to calculate the corresponding real and reactive power load at the respective buses. The results show a total real power loss of 873.5688 kW and a total reactive power loss of 504.3703 kVAR on the feeder. The knowledge of the feeder's power losses will benefit electric power utilities to improve the quality of the power supply and revenue generation.
