OPERATIONAL ACTIVITIES FOR ACHIEVING ENERGY EFFICIENCY IN ELECTRICAL NETWORKS

The energy efficiency improvement actions of the electrical networks are divided into two main groups: operational and technical. Technical events require significant investment. Operating events do not require investment and are limited to optimal solutions in operational conditions that achieve energy efficiency. The report presents a methodology for assessing of the energy efficiency when changing the configuration of distribution electrical power networks. It is summarizing the results of the reconstruction and exploitation of the distribution networks for medium and low voltage under optimized schemes, which achieve energy efficiency. Recommendations are made for the implementation of energy efficiency activities in the exploitation of distribution networks.
