摘要：The article presents an analysis of the possibilities of reducing power and energy losses in MV distribution networks by the use of the most popular non-investment method,that is optimal network configuration,also called optimization of partition points.The article begins with a characteristic of distribution networks,structure of electrical energy consumers and a classification of losses in distribution networks.Losses in real,wide-area MV voltage networks were analyzed.The problem of partition points optimization in a network was presented.The methods of partition points optimization and some Polish tools for making such calculations were reviewed.The results of performance of the tools on an example of a real wide-area network were compared.The article ends with some remarks on practical aspects of calculating partition points in big networks,with special emphasis on various constraints in location of partition points.
