标题：A Conceptual Design of Technical Losses Assessment and Monitoring System for Power Distribution Network in Universiti Teknikal Malaysia Melaka (UTeM)
摘要：In recent years, due to increasing demand and new facilities, University Teknikal Malaysia Melaka
(UTeM)’s, electricity bills has increased to an average of approximately RM500k per month, which
is substantial. Apart from energy consumed by the load, a certain proportion of these bills are
contributed due to energy losses occurring in the network. Assuming 0.1% of these energy are
contributed to energy losses monthly, reducing it could save UTeM approximately RM60,000
annually. However, there are no known studies ever performed to investigate the actual amount of
energy losses occurring in UTeM’s distribution network. Thus, the primary aim of this paper is to
present a conceptual design for a technical losses (TL) assessment and monitoring system in UTeM.
This system aimed towards providing UTeM the key information on the level, source and location
of energy flow and losses in its existing power distribution network. The emphasis within this
document is on recommending the proper design, data requirements, procedures, architecture and
relevant functions which is practically implementable in a typical higher learning institutions which
has its own power distribution network. It is anticipated that, the proposed system will serve as base
information for UTeM to develop such system in the future.
