In order to find the causes of statistical line loss abnormalities and propose better loss reduction strategies, it is necessary to improve the accuracy of theoretical line loss calculations. Since Distributed Generation (DG) access to the distribution network causes variability of power flow in the distribution network within a short period, the error of the traditional line loss calculation method increases. For the line loss calculation of medium-voltage distribution networks containing DGs with high-density collection data, a continuous line loss calculation method for the distribution network was proposed, aiming at improving the accuracy compared with the traditional line loss calculation method. The proposed method makes full use of the high-density collection data on the dispatch side and DG side, distributing the supply power to each load node by power to calculate real-time power flow, thus obtaining a more credible line loss value. The effectiveness and accuracy of the proposed method were verified in the IEEE 17-node distribution system. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Data collection is more difficult in distribution network than transmission networks since the structure of distribution networks is more complex. As a result, data could be partly abnormal or missing, which cannot completely describe the operation status of distribution network. In addition, access of distributed generation (DG) to distribution network further aggravates the variability of power flow in distribution network. The traditional deterministic line loss calculation method has some limitations in accurately estimating the line loss of distribution network with DG. A line loss interval calculation method based on power flow calculation and linear optimization is proposed, considering abnormal data collection and distribution network power flow variability. The linear optimization model is established according to sensitivity of line loss to the injected power and sensitivity of transmission power of first branch to the injected power. Introducing the scheduling information into the optimization model, a reliable line loss fluctuation interval can be obtained which actual line loss locates. The effectiveness of the proposed algorithm is verified in IEEE 33-bus distribution network system. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
