2.0 Executive Summary
The project is aimed to propose a methodology to establish & verify a base line data for the
distribution utilities through which they are able to capture AT&C losses in a precise manner
and also to plan and implement correctives measured to bring down the losses.
The baseline data has to be established & verified in division wise, sub-division wise and
11KV feeder wise breakup. Establishment of baseline data is the necessary requirement o f
Part A of Re-structured Accelerated Power Development and Reforms Programme (R-
APDRP) launched by Government of India to achieve actual and demonstrable performance
in terms of sustained loss reduction, establishment of reliable and automated systems for
sustained collection of accurate base line data, and the adoption of Information Technology in
the areas of energy accounting.
The project is divided into three phases. Phase I aims to propose a methodology for the
establishment and verification of baseline data. It includes the approach for computation for
AT&C Losses for the distribution utility. The section also covers the methodology for
assessment of the investment required for meeting the infrastructural deficiencies. Phase II
focus on the methods for data collection of distribution area from the identified sources such
as utility. Phase III shall analyse the data collected from the sources and interpret the results
in the form of absolute numbers, figures, charts and graphs.
For the sake of simplicity, parameters under consideration are divided into 6 modules
namely; Consumer profile, Consumer Metering, Feeder/DT metering, Energy Audit, Losses
Determination and Investment Requirement. The methodology, data collection and data
analysis technique proposed are mentioned in each module. Different methodology shall be
considered for modules as per the parameter under evaluation. For instance, in the module
Consumer Profile the parameters under consideration are category wise number of
consumers, restricted & unrestricted energy demand and contracted demand in the
distribution area.
9 Verification and Establishment of Baseline Data for Power Distribution Circles
The data shall be collected from the billing records, revenue records of billing and IT
Centres. Also the data shall be acquired from individual sub-stations, SDO centres and the
utility. In some cases such as Feeder/DT metering, data on metering of feeders and
distribution transformers (DTS) would be obtained from sample study in identified regions to
determine the extent to which metering has been realized in each division, sub-division and to
identify the area of pilferage and improve supply conditions. Verification, consistency and
accuracy of the data can be done from multiple records, examination of physical records and
by conducting individual field studies wherever required.
The data obtained from various sources shall be transported into developed excel formats as
shown in list of annexure for analysis. The formats would be unique for each module and
shall present the data in absolute numbers or percentage, in the form of tables, figures and
graphs. The assessment of total investment requirement to overcome infrastructural
deficiencies is the aggregation of investment requirement in all 7 modules.

3.3 Need of the Study
In the context of the Indian Power Sector, the distribution of electricity has always been the
weakest link. The distribution business, in most of the India States is plagued with the
problems of the high level of distribution and transmission losses, energy thefts,
inadequate/faulty metering, inaccurate billing and poor collection efficiency. The net
resultant is the abysmal revenue realization, insufficient to complement the ever- increasing
cost of supply. To bridge the gap between the revenue realisation and the cost of supply, the
State Distribution Companies/ Departments are required to resort to high level of Commercial
Borrowings/ Grants/subsidy from the Banks and FIs or State Government. The problem has
resulted into serious implications on the financial sustainability of the Discoms/ State
Distribution Departments. Therefore, it is imperative to take serious measures to improve the
health of the Distribution segment in the overall power sector.

With these objectives in mind, Government of India has also launched schemes such as
Accelerated Power Development and Reforms Programme (APDRP) and Re-structured
Accelerated Power Development and Reforms Programme (R-APDRP). The focus of these
programmes has been to achieve performance in terms of sustained loss reduction,
establishment of reliable and automated systems for collection of accurate base line data, and
the adoption of Information Technology in the areas of energy audit and accounting. Part A
of the scheme require preparation of baseline data for the distribution utility covering
consumer indexing, metering of distribution transformers and feeders, consumer mapping,
energy audit & accounting.
The Central Electricity Authority (CEA) of India is reporting one of the highest levels of
Transmission & Distribution losses in the country. As per the CEA (2012) report on
Highlights of Power sector all India T&D losses and AT&C loss of the FY 2009-10 were
25.39% and 27.15% respectively.
3.4 Objectives of the Assignment

The methodology for each of the 6 modules, along with the associated activities has been
discussed in the following sections. The analysis shall be carried out for each of the identified
circles separately, providing division wise, sub-division-wise and 11 kV feeder wise breakup.
3.7 Limitations
1. The data collected from utility/sub-station/billing centers may contain gaps/errors
which may affect the accuracy of computed losses and investment assessment.
2. In situations where energy data is not available from the identified sources,
assumptions may be taken on sample study basis which may not be in par with the
actual data.
3. The utility shall provide the accuracy certificates of the meters, in case of in-accurate
meters for energy accounting erroneous results may be obtained resulting in
overestimation/underestimation of losses and the investment.
4. For un-metered consumers data would be obtained on the basis of norms specified by
respective SERC. In fact none of the methods adopted by SERC‟s is accurate and
therefore may affect the computed results. Therefore, it is imperative to meter all the
consumers for accurate estimation.
3.8 Challenges faced by IMACS
1. Obtain a reliable data for each module from identified sources.
2. Perform sample study for the parameters under evaluation in identified areas which
are remotely located.
17 Verification and Establishment of Baseline Data for Power Distribution Circles
3. Transportation of data obtained from the sources in various forms (Excel, text, hard
copy) into a common platform for analysis.
4. Delays in obtaining the data from the identified sources.
5. Collection of data from multiple records for verification.

4.1 Literature Review
Research Problem: Establishment of baseline data for the distribution utility?
(A) Singh (2012) in the director report submitted to money control pointed out that as on
March 31, 2012, over 1200 towns were ring fenced by installation of boundary meters to
enable utilities to account for the import and export of energy in these towns and to establish
baseline AT&C losses. Similarly, Umashankar (2012) published in his report titled The
Performance of State Power Utilities for the Years 2008-09 to 2010-11 that reliable &
verifiable baseline data for revenue & energy were required for verifying exact AT&C losses
in an area and further detection of commercial and technical loss pockets.
(B) Kumar (2011) in Delhi in a meeting with TPIEA-EAs and system meter manufacturers
expressed concern at various utilities declaring their project areas as ring fenced, whereas
gaps are detected in the same during field verification by TPIEA-EAs. He advised utilities to
get ring fencing of project areas verified from TPIEA-EAs prior to recording & compiling
three billing cycle data. In line of the above, Singh (2011) stated that at least five states
namely Bihar, Jharkhand, Goa, Jammu & Kashmir and Chhattisgarh have appointed IT
implementing agencies for collection of baseline data. Also, various prominent issues
affecting implementation such as GIS based consumer indexing, asset mapping, metering,
ring fencing, billing cycle data, TPIEA-EA issues etc. are also discussed with respective state
utilities.
(C) Abraham (2006) in the report on restructuring of APDRP responded to planning
commission and Utilities that Baseline data preparation while it was of utmost necessity was
not as readily available since computerized systems were still under implementation and in
very nascent form and will take few to many years depending on the present stage in different
Utilities.
(D) In the report (“Methodology for,”2009) Power Finance Corporation of India published
the methodology for Establishing Baseline AT&C losses. The Aggregate Technical and
Commercial (AT&C) Losses shall be used for purpose of the R-APDRP. On a similar line
19 Verification and Establishment of Baseline Data for Power Distribution Circles
Forum of Regulators also proposed the method of computation of AT&C losses in the report
(“Loss Reduction,”2008).
(E) Jharkhand State Electricity Regulatory Commission (JSERC) in the report (“Aggregate
Revenue Requirement,” 2011) mentioned that tenders have already been floated for
establishment of baseline parameters which include installation of energy meters at Urban
Periphery of the covered towns, Installation of feeder meters in covered areas, Installation of
DTR meters, and Consumer indexing. Similarly, Bihar State Electricity Board (BSEB) in the
tender (“Request for Proposal,” 2011) mentioned that it is implementing a project for
establishment of Baseline data and IT application for energy accounting/auditing and IT
based consumer service center. It Covers: Consumer Indexing, GIS Mapping, Metering of
balance Distribution Transformers and Feeders, Automatic Data log in for all distribution
Transformer and Feeders, SCADA/DMS system.

5.1 MODULE I: CONSUMER PROFILE
Module Name Description Parameters covered
I
Consumer Profile
Consumer Mix
Demand Estimation
1. Category wise No. of consumers
2. Power & energy demands. (Unrestricted/restricted)
3. Category wise contracted power demand
Objective of Module I
The objective of module I is to collect and verify the data of number of consumers served by
the utility. The data shall be categorized according to the type of consumers supplied by the
utility. There are large number of loads connected across the length of the distribution
system, hence segregations of such loads according to the category, power and energy
demand, contracted power demand is essential to forecast the individual demand, identify
areas of infrastructural strengthening and the amount of investment required in each category
to improve the power system operations.
Phase – I: Methodology
The First step in establishment & verification of consumer profile would involve collection of
data of distribution circles from the utility. The obtained data would be tabulated into the
framework developed for each consumer category in dub-division, division and 11KV feeder
wise. The power and energy demand can be obtained on the basis of the total connected load
on the system, category of consumer, applicable losses in the system and the projected
increase in the number of consumers. The captured details and consistency of the data shall
be checked by identification of common errors, examination of physical records and
collection from multiple resources as and when required to obtain accurate estimation of each
category.
22 Verification and Establishment of Baseline Data for Power Distribution Circles
Phase – II: Data Collection and research
The data shall be collected from the various data sources at different levels. The category
wise list of consumers served by the utility shall be obtained from the orders/regulations of
individual SERC and the billing records. The data on power and energy demands (restricted
& unrestricted) is maintained by individual substations and can be obtained from the sub-
station records. The data on category wise consumer contracted demand shall be obtained
from the billing and consumer revenue records at billing and IT centers. Verification,
consistency and accuracy of the data shall be done from multiple records, examination of
physical records and by conducting individual field studies wherever required.
Phase – III: Data analysis and finalization of the results
The analysis of obtained data would require development of excel models for every
parameter under evaluation in sub-division, division and feeder wise. As indicated above the
power and energy demand can be obtained on the basis of the total connected load on the
system, category of consumer, applicable losses in the system and the projected increase in
the number of consumers. The distribution loss in the region is then added into the calculated
energy requirement to determine the energy availability at division periphery. The data gaps
so obtained shall be rectified with the utility. If required, field analysis of the data on sample
consumer basis shall be done on connected load and demand and diversity factor shall be
applied for developing approximations for identified areas. The indicative format for category
wise analysis of number of consumers, Power & Energy demand (restricted/unrestricted) and
contracted power demand is shown in Annexure A.

6.1 MODULE II: CONSUMER METERING
Module Name Description Parameters covered
II
Consumer Metering
Metering Status
Replacement requirement
1. Category wise, status of consumer metering
2. No. of consumers with defective
meters (Electronic/electromechanical)
3. No. of consumers with correct meters
(Electronic/electromechanical)
Objective of Module II
The objective of this module is to determine the status of the consumers metered by the
utility. There might be some consumer meters under each category which are not reading,
identified defective or reading defective. Feeding such un-metered loads result in direct
revenue loss for the utility as consumers are either not billed or billed on some assumptions.
Hence, it is imperative to determine the metering status of consumers under each division,
sub-division and feeder level for accurate estimation of commercial losses and the investment
that would be required for the rectification/ replacement of these meters.
A large percentage of power loss occurs due to theft/pilferage of electricity at distribution,
sub-distribution level. The main reason for such loss is the tampering, bypassing or slowing
down of electromechanical meters installed at consumer premises. To avoid this menace, it is
now mandated to replace all the electromechanical meters with the advanced electronic
meters. Therefore, it is essential to determine the number of consumers installed with
electromechanical meters under each division of the distribution Utility. This will also enable
utility to build a framework for time bound manner replacement of such meters over the
period of time and estimation of investment needed.
24 Verification and Establishment of Baseline Data for Power Distribution Circles
Phase – I: Methodology
The consumer meters shall be installed either at consumer premises or outside the consumer
premises. Meaningful analysis of consumer metering would only be obtained by current
status of metering consumers. The status of consumer metering shall be categorized as:
Division wise, sub division wise, category wise status of billing
List of consumer‟s category whose meters had not been read, identified defective,
reading defective etc.
No. of consumers installed with electro-mechanical meters, electronic meters etc.
Circle, division, sub division wise status of stop/dead/defective meters ending March
2012 and subsequent replacement of such meters in the period ending March 2013.
The obtained data would be tabulated into the framework developed for each consumer
category in dub-division, division and 11KV feeder wise. The number of un-metered
consumers shall be obtained by subtracting the number of correct meter consumers from the
total number of consumers. The captured details and consistency of the data shall be verified
by identification of common errors, examination of physical records and collection from
multiple resources as and when required to obtain accurate estimation of each category.
Utility as the case may be, shall examine, test and regulate all meters before installation and
only correct meters shall be installed.
Phase – II: Data Collection and research
The data on consumer metering shall be obtained from billing records, revenue records
maintained by section engineer‟s office and billing centers for taking a view on metering
status at each category and division level. The data will be collected of at least 3 billing
cycles in the form of copies of bill or in soft form (MS Access, MS excel, Text mode etc).
The data will be transported from different platforms on to one platform. Verification,
consistency and accuracy of the data shall be done from multiple records, examination of
physical records and by conducting individual field studies wherever required.
Phase – III: Data analysis and finalization of the results
From the above collected data the total number of consumers installed with electromechanical,
electronic and Time of Day (TOD) meters can be calculated. The difference between the total number
25 Verification and Establishment of Baseline Data for Power Distribution Circles
of consumers in each sub division, division and feeder obtained in Module I and the number of
consumers metered will give the un-metered consumers under each category. The analysis shall
provide information on percent of consumers metered in each category. The same analysis format will
also give the figure on number of electromechanical meters in each category that should be replaced
with electronic meters.
Similarly, the format for determining the number of defective/dead/stop/inaccurate meters
under each consumer category shall be developed to determine the number of such meters in
each level. The analysis would enable the utility to assess the investment requirement for
replacement/rectification of meters and achieve 100% metering of all categories of
consumers. The data gaps so obtained shall be rectified with the utility. If required, field
analysis of the data on sample consumer basis shall be done for developing approximations
for identified areas. The indicative formats for analysis of data on consumer metering is

Status of DT metering
Status of feeder/DT meters
Objective of Module III
For the purpose of energy accounting relevant metering data of all the incoming and outgoing
feeders from 66KV/33KV substation and distribution transformers has to be available to
system. The objective of this module is to determine the metering status of the feeders
(11KV) and distribution transformers in sub-division and division level. It enables
measurement of losses on transformers, takes care of energy accounting, identifies areas of
theft, and monitors its supply, reliability and quality. Its usefulness will be enhanced by
indexing and metering with the category of consumers obtained in module I.
Phase – I: Methodology
The total loss estimation requires accurate measurement of energy input to the HT (11KV)
and associated LT (400 V) feeders. The location of such meters shall be as under:
(a) All incoming feeders (11 kV and above)
(b) All outgoing feeders (11 kV and above)
(c) Sub-station transformer including distribution transformer- Licensee may provide the
meter on primary or secondary side or both sides depending upon the requirement for energy
accounting and audit.
The estimated losses will be accurate only if all the energy meters are in good working
conditions. However, in reality certain percentage of HT and LT feeder‟s meters would be
non functional due to some reason or the other. In most cases, appreciable percentage of
meters, mainly at the sending end of LT feeders located at the secondary of distribution
transformers (DTR) and consumer meters would be faulty. The methodology of feeder
metering would involve determination of number of feeders in each level along with the type
27 Verification and Establishment of Baseline Data for Power Distribution Circles
of meter installed in the identified feeders. The summation of the type of meters would give
the information on the metered feeders. The difference between the total number of feeders
and the metered feeders would give the un-metered feeders in each division and sub-division.
The same method shall be adopted to determine the metering status of distribution
transformers.
Phase – II: Data Collection and research
Data on metering of feeders and distribution transformers (DTR) would be obtained from
sample study in identified regions to determine the extent to which metering has been
realized in each division, sub-division and identify the area of pilferage and improve supply
conditions. For this purpose sample study methodology shall be developed based on suitable
statistical methods.
Phase – III: Data analysis and finalization of the results
As explained above from the collected data the number of feeders/DTR metered in each
division, sub-division can be calculated. Also number of electromechanical and electronic
meters installed in feeders/DTRs in each category shall be obtained. To achieve the objective
of 100% metering the analysis shall determine the number of defective meters/un-metered
feeders and distribution transformers. The status of feeder/distribution transformer metering
i.e. the percentage of DTR metered and type of meters could be obtained using the format as
shown in Annexure C.

Energy Billed Revenue Assessed
Revenue Realized
1. Energy Input into distribution system
2. Energy Sold category wise
3. Energy billed and category wise revenue assessed
4. Revenue realized category wise
Objective of Module IV
Compilation of baseline data is the starting point for energy accounting and audit. While
energy accounting gives the overall picture of energy availability and its use, energy audit
enables analysis of data in a meaningful manner to evolve a measure to: (i) introduce checks
and balances in the system; (ii) reduce distribution losses; and (iii) improve technical
performances of all elements of the distribution network. Energy audit at the sub-station level
and DT level shall start from DTs to 11kV feeders to 33/11kV sub-stations of the entire area
selected for auditing. Energy audit is undertaken to calculate the difference between the DT-
wise energy sent out and total of all the consumers‟ consumption.
The other objective of this module is to estimate the revenue equivalent to energy supplied to
the consumers. The consumers who are metered are billed on the basis of energy
consumption indicated in their respective meter. However, methods have to be adopted by the
utility for estimating the unmetered energy consumption. Unmetered supply to single point
connection to small domestic consumers of weaker section of the society and agricultural
pumps is one of the major reasons of commercial losses. Unmetered consumption also
includes metered category consumers who have defective or non-functional meters.
Estimation of energy consumed in unmetered supply has a great bearing in calculation of
T&D losses on account of inherent errors in estimation.
For energy audit it is also necessary to determine the revenue collected from each category of
the consumers for the service provided by the utility. Ideally, Revenue collected should be
equal to energy billed to the consumers. However, in actual it is not. This is because there are
29 Verification and Establishment of Baseline Data for Power Distribution Circles
large numbers of not paying, defaulted consumers who do not pay to the utility. This result in
direct revenue loss to the utility and hampers its financial stability. Such revenue loss
equivalent to un-collected amount is the commercial loss of the Utility. It is imperative to
determine the value of unrealized revenue to estimate the AT&C loss.
Phase – I: Methodology
Energy Input
A sub-division is fed through feeders of different voltage level (66 kV/33 kV /11 kV etc.).
Energy meters shall be installed at input points of each of feeders (66 kV, 33 kV, 11 kV etc.)
and read them at pre-defined intervals. However, complications arise, as not all the feeders,
feed in the sub-division. There can be few feeders which feed beyond boundaries of sub-
division or some feeders which are outside the sub-division feeding into the area. These
feeders usually few in number cater to the loads within and outside the area. In such cases net
input energy to the sub-division from such feeder shall be considered. In addition, if 66 kV or
33 kV feeders are directly feeding to a dedicated consumer and that consumer(s) is within
sub-division, input of such feeder shall be considered as part of input energy to the sub-
division. In order to measure input energy in such cases, utility can do ring fencing of sub-
division through installation of import/export meters at sub-division boundaries. As
mentioned earlier too, there can be 11 kV feeders feeding within and outside sub-division.
The utility may install import/export meters at sub-division boundaries and account for total
energy supplied beyond town boundaries through them. While computing energy
consumption of sub-division, this energy may be subtracted from total energy consumption
arrived from meter reading.
The total loss estimation requires accurate measurement of energy input to the HT (11KV)
and associated LT (400 V) feeders. The estimated losses will be accurate only if all the
energy meters are in good working conditions. However, in reality certain percentage of HT
and LT feeder‟s meters would be non functional due to some reason or the other. In most
cases, appreciable percentage of meters, mainly at the sending end of LT feeders located at
the secondary of distribution transformers (DTR) and consumer meters would be faulty.
Moreover, the HT and LT consumer consumption supplied by these meters are noted by
different agencies at their own schedule, convenient for billing. It is not the standard practice
of distribution companies to collect and record the individual consumer consumption feeder
30 Verification and Establishment of Baseline Data for Power Distribution Circles
wise. Also the set date and time in the HT & LT feeder meters are sometimes non-
synchronized either due to not setting it correctly after replacing the drained batteries or not
taking care while commissioning. Hence the reading and estimated losses obtained using this
data would be erroneous.
In the above scenario, unmetered consumers billing will be done using the norms specified by
the respective SERC. The total consumption of distribution transformer (LT feeder input) can
be obtained by adding the total energy input for LT feeder with functional meters with non-
functional energy (DTR) meters as estimated by the SERC procedure.
Energy Sold
There are two types of consumers in a sub-division; metered and unmetered, billing for
metered consumers can be done through energy recorded by meters and the applicable tariff.
Unmetered consumers billing will be done through norms specified by the SERC. Sales in
terms of billed energy and corresponding billed revenue in a sub-division shall be computed
by adding the total energy consumed during the defined period by all consumers indicated in
their meters (Meter-Sales as Billed) and energy consumed by consumers based on
assessment/ unmetered connection (Unmetered-Sales as Billed).
Energy Billed
Energy is billed on the basis of energy consumed or energy sold to a consumer which can be
obtained from meter reading and assessment of unmetered connection. The bill amount is
computed on the basis of tariff fixed by regulatory commission for applicable customer
category. On the basis of the above data category wise revenue can be accessed directly.
Revenue Assessed
To achieve 100% metering at the consumer end, determination of unmetered consumption
(specifically for agricultural consumers) becomes critical. The energy billed to unmetered
consumers shall be assessed as per the norms specified by SERC and the applicable tariff
rates.
However, different SERC‟s have followed different methodology/norms for determination of
unmetered consumption. Some of the approaches followed by SERC‟s are mentioned below:

Revenue Realised
Collection efficiency determines the percentage of revenue collected from the consumers. A
collection efficiency of 100% indicates that the complete billed amount is recovered from the
consumers whereas an efficiency of above 100% includes some arrears of last billing cycle.
Phase – II: Data Collection and research
The data collection for the energy audit shall be as follows:
1) The input and out flow of energy to the distribution areas shall be energy recorded by ring
fencing meters.
2) The energy sale figures, energy billed and revenue collected shall be as per the metering,
billing, and collection record maintained by the utility.
3) Norms established by SERC for assessment of unmetered consumption
4) Any other relevant record / data and regulation / guidelines issued by respective SERC
Energy Input
Input energy data can be collected from the substation records, input and import/export
energy meters records maintained at section engineer‟s office. Discom is required to produce
32 Verification and Establishment of Baseline Data for Power Distribution Circles
the meter calibration certificate for above said meters. Such meters can be verified physically
on sample basis.
Energy Sold
Computation of energy sold to different consumer categories can be done through billing data
and consumer revenue data available with ERO and billing centre. These offices are
responsible for billing of the energy sold as well as revenue collected. Difference between
energy input and energy sold depends on the losses in the system losses can be of two types
(a) technical losses i.e. I2R losses and transformation losses of the system (b) commercial
losses which may be due to theft of energy, metering discrepancies, non-metering.
Energy Billed
Energy is billed on the basis of energy consumed or energy sold to a consumer which can be
obtained from meter reading and assessment of unmetered connection. The bill amount is
computed on the basis of tariff fixed by regulatory commission for applicable customer
category. On the basis of the above data category wise revenue can be accessed directly.
Revenue Assessed & Realised
The data on revenue assessed and realized shall be obtained from billing records & revenue
records maintained by ERO and billing centers for category wise determina tion of collection
efficiency. The data shall be collected of at least 3 billing cycles in the form of copies of bill
or in soft form (MS Access, MS excel, Text mode etc). The data will be transported from
different platforms to one common platform. The consistency and accuracy of the data shall
be verified from multiple records, examination of physical records and by conducting
individual field studies wherever required.
Phase – III: Data analysis and finalization of the results
Having installed good quality meters in substation feeders and distribution transformers and
having collected data from these meters, the important task that remains is a thorough and
effective analysis to obtain information that will assist in decision making. By having data of
input energy and energy sold, billing efficiency of a sub-division can be calculated, which
depict the efficiency of discoms in converting the energy input into the sell. Energy sold and
energy billed is considered to be same without any exception. In any case energy sold or
33 Verification and Establishment of Baseline Data for Power Distribution Circles
billed shall not be more than energy input and such case arises due to other feeders feeding
into the feeder area which are not taken into account.
Similarly, from the data of amount billed and amount recovered from the consumers in a
given period, collection efficiency (ratio of amount recovered and amount billed) can be
calculated. Collection efficiency determines the efficiency of the utility to recover the
revenue equivalent to billed energy from the consumers. It is given as the ratio of amount
realized to amount billed. The collection efficiency should be 100% for the utility, in case it
is more than 100% it would include arrears of the last billing cycle. The data for energy audit
can be captured using the formats shown in annexure D
By using the norms adopted by SERCs to assess the unmetered energy consumption, the
energy billed shall be obtained by multiplying it with the SERC tariff rates applicable to each
unmetered category of consumers. The metered consumers shall be billed on the basis of
energy indicated in their respective meters and the applicable tariff. Summation of amount (in
Lakhs) billed to metered consumers, unmetered consumers and outstanding amount shall give
the total energy billed in each category. From the calculated data the collection eff iciency is
computed as the ratio between the revenue realized to energy billed.

Module Name Description Parameters covered
VI Losses
determination
Distribution losses
AT&C Losses
1) Losses at each level viz (66-33 KV, 11KV and LT) Distribution losses
2) AT&C losses at all levels
Objective of Module VI
The biggest challenge to the Indian power distribution sector is the T&D losses which are as
high as 25.47% in FY08. A number of factors technical and non- technical are contributing to
the high T&D losses. Therefore, the main objective of this module is to compute losses at
distribution level (66-33KV, 11KV & LT). T&D losses are computed using the figures of
electricity bills issued to the consumers as accrued income and not on actual collection. The
concept of Aggregate Technical & Commercial loss (AT&C) was introduced to capture the
difference between the billing and collection, which was not captured in T&D loss. AT&C
loss is defined as the difference between units input into the system and the units for which
the payment is collected.
Phase – I: Methodology
Economic viability of power system operation depends largely upon the losses in distribution
system. The definition of loss varies from state to state. Basically, two expressions are used to
compute the losses, namely Transmission & distribution loss (T&D) and Aggregate
Technical and Commercial Loss (AT&C). The method of computation of both the losses also
varies. AT&C loss is basically the difference between energy input and energy for which
revenue is realized after accounting for collection efficiency and it is to this extent that it
differs from T&D loss. T&D loss takes into account the losses in the T&D system including
commercial loss up to the point of billing and does not take into account the units for which
revenue is actually collected or realized. To achieve the motive of better estimation and
reduction of distribution losses, transmission losses should not be clubbed with distribution
losses.
3.1 Computation of Distribution Loss
The total energy loss in the distribution feeder is defined as the difference between the energy
input and energy supplied (billed). As mentioned above computation of distribution loss does
35 Verification and Establishment of Baseline Data for Power Distribution Circles
not take into account the collection efficiency of the utility. Following formula can be used
to calculate the loss at a particular distribution level:
Total energy loss = Loss in HT Feeder (11KV & above) + Loss in LT feeder (400V)
Where,
Loss in HT feeder = Energy input to HT feeder – (Energy sent out on LT feeder + billed
energy of HT consumers), kWh
and,
Loss in LT feeder = Energy input to LT feeder – billed energy of LT consumers, kWh
3.2 Computation of AT&C loss
The AT&C loss comprise of two elements: - 1) Technical loss and 2) Commercial Loss.
Technical loss primarily takes place due to transformation at various levels and I2R losses on
distribution lines. Commercial losses are due to illegal consumption of electrical energy,
which is not correctly metered, billed and revenue collected by the utility.
AT&C loss shall be calculated by subtracting the energy realized from the energy input.
AT&C loss = Energy Input – Energy Realized
Where,
Energy Realized = Energy billed * Collection efficiency
Collection efficiency = Amount collected / Amount billed
Phase – II: Data Collection and research
To compute losses of different levels of distribution levels as well as AT&C losses
collectively following data shall be there,
(a) Input energy at that distribution voltage level
(b) Energy sold to consumers at voltage level
(c) Revenue realized at voltage level
(d) Energy transformed to next voltage level
36 Verification and Establishment of Baseline Data for Power Distribution Circles
The three billing cycles, data such as energy inflow and outflow and corresponding revenue
collected for the project area shall be considered for computation of baseline (initial level)
AT&C losses for project area. In case, in the same project area some consumers are read
monthly, while others are read bimonthly, sales data shall be considered for corresponding
period. For example, there can be a case where HT consumers have monthly billing cycle and
other consumers have bimonthly billing cycle. In such cases, sales data of three billing cycle
for other category of consumers shall be considered while for HT consumers, sales data for 6
months shall be considered for computing AT&C Losses for the corresponding period. The
data collection format is shown in annexure E
Phase – III: Data analysis and finalization of the results
Losses calculated using the above formulas shall be within permissible limit, values
calculated must satisfy certain criteria such as:
Billing efficiency shall not be more than 100% for any feeder- Such condition occurs
when an outside feeder is feeding to feeder area and energy input for the same is not
taken into account.
Collection efficiency shall not be more than 100% - Such condition arises if the
arrears for previous month is collected in collection period and some are not separated
from the collection against the billing period.
Loss level shall vary within a pre-defined level.
Differential analysis of technical losses, non-technical losses and collection efficiency
On the basis of above calculations and criteria‟s applied loss figures can be finalized.

Requirement
Addressing the
infrastructural
deficiencies
1. No. of distribution transmission
damaged including transformers at
66/11 KV 33/11 KV 66/33/6.6 KV
2. Investment required approval of
infrastructural deficiencies
Objective of Module VI
In the process of energy supplying to the consumers, technical and commercial losses occur
in the system. The technical losses are due to energy dissipation in the equipment and
conductor used for transmission (400KV/220KV/132KV/66KV), transformation, sub-
transmission (33KV/11KV) and distribution (11KV/0.4KV) of power. The commercial
losses occur due to pilferage, defective meters, and errors in metering and in estimating
unmetered supply of energy. A clear understanding on the magnitude of technical &
commercial losses is the primary step in the direction of reducing losses. For this, all the
consumers should be metered and the utility should formulate a time bound investment plan
to achieve 100% metering. In the absence of complete energy accounting, it is not possible to
estimate the realistic T&D losses. Therefore collection of reliable and detailed data on the
sources and quantum of losses become very important for designing, multipronged
programmes for reducing T&D losses with minimum investment.
The technical losses prevail in the distribution system due to inadequate investment resulting
in overloading of the system without commensurate strengthening and augmentation, rural
electrification using long 11KV and LT lines, too many stages of transformation, improper
load management, poor quality of equipments and inadequate reactive compensation.
Commercial losses occur due to theft, unauthorized extension of loads, tempering of meters,
bypassing of meters, willful burning of meters, changing sequence o f terminal wiring and
38 Verification and Establishment of Baseline Data for Power Distribution Circles
improper calibration of meters. Therefore, the main objective of this module is to assess the
deficiencies in the system and propose an investment that would be required to reduce losses
and strengthen the distribution system. The Augmentation of sub-transmission and
distribution network would involve three broad actions:
1. Commercial Action: Tamper proof metering, energy accounting up to feeder level,
de-centralized computerized billing & collection, Management information system
(MIS) development and duties and responsibilities up to the line man.
2. Technical Action: conversion of existing distribution network to HVDS network, re-
conductoring of overhead lines, GIS mapping, power factor correction etc.
3. Restructuring of Manpower: Review of manpower from the Superintending Engineer
to lineman and fixing responsibilities, duties and accountability at each level.
Phase – I: Methodology
The investment required to overcome infrastructural deficiencies of distribution network shall
be obtained from the following:
(A) Module II: Consumer Metering
In order to assess the investment requirement of meters for each category of consumers at
different levels, the number of consumers not connected with the correct meters shall be
obtained from Module II. Also the type of meters (electromechanical/electronic) required for
new connection and replacement can also be determined from Module II.
(B) Module III: Feeder/DTR Metering (System Metering)
From this module the new meters required at 66, 33/11KV transformers, 66KV, 33KV &
11KV Feeders, 11/0.4 KV Distribution transformers shall be obtained.
(C) Renovation & Modernization of 66, 33/11KV & distribution sub-stations
The 66, 33/11 kV sub-stations are the backbone of the power distribution system and failure
in any substation results in outages/load shedding in large areas. Electrical distribution
equipments are generally designed for life span of 25 years. Beyond this period they are not
expected to render their service with desired efficiency. The requirement of materials for
renovation and modernization of sub-stations shall be worked out at each level. The main
steps involved in R&M and Life Extension of equipment are as under:
Review of Operation & Maintenance (O&M) records e.g. number of tripping, failures,
repairs/replacement, loading conditions etc.
39 Verification and Establishment of Baseline Data for Power Distribution Circles
Assessment of residual life of the components of the system by conducting Residual
Life Assessment (RLA) studies.
Identification of components requiring repairs, replacement, up gradation/retrofitting.
Condition monitoring of equipments in the substation.
(D) Reactive Compensation
To improve the power factor and voltage capacitors are installed at 33/11KV sub-stations,
11kV feeders and at LT bus of distribution transformers. The optimum rating of capacitor
banks for a distribution system is 2/3rd of the average KVAR requirement of that distribution
system. Depending on the permissible power factor prescribed in the conditions of supply of
electricity boards or licensee the number and KVAR capacity of capacitors shall be
computed.
(E) Erection of 66, 33 kV, 11 kV & LT feeders/ Reconductoring of feeders
In a distribution circle there are number of 66, 33KV, 11KV, LT feeders which are damaged,
overloaded/heavily loaded causing poor voltage regulation and energy loss. It is, therefore,
necessary to construct new lines and reconductor some existing lines. The Kilometer of
LT/HT lines need to erected/reconductor at 66, 33, 11 KV and LT voltage level shall be
computed at identified areas to determine the investment requirement.
Old Outlived HT/LT Cables shall be replaced, on the basis of age, no of faults, current
loading, and type of load.
Replacement of old overhead HT/LT conductor for load bifurcation.
Replacement of old outlived Feeder Pillars/LT switchgears on the basis of age, no of
faults, and current loading.
(F) New Distribution Transformers/Augmentation
To meet the load growth and improve the reliability of supply in the circle some new
transformers are required while some would have to be augmented. This shall be determined
from the number of transformers damaged, useful life of the transformer and heavily loaded
including transformers at 66/11 KV 33/11 KV 66/33/6.6 KV.
(G) Modernization Works
In addition to the above primary works, additional works need to be carried out such as
Computerization of Billing, spot billing centers, SCADA system, communication system, call
40 Verification and Establishment of Baseline Data for Power Distribution Circles
centers etc. The investment required for such establishments shall be computed as per the
orders/norms/guidelines specified by SERC.
Phase – II: Data Collection and research
The data on existing capacity of sub-station, feeder, distribution transformer, LT/HT lines &
capacitor bank shall be obtained from the asset register of the utility. The data on No. of
distribution transmission damaged including transformers at 66/11 kV 33/11 kV 66/33/6.6 kV
shall be obtained from failure register and manual inspection of lines and distribution
transformers wherever required. The information on cost of individual component/equipment
required to determine the investment shall be obtained from Capital cost benchmark report of
commission/regulator, from the electrical equipment supplier or from the records of the
utility.
Phase – III Data analysis and finalization of the results
The data collected on existing capacity of sub-station, feeder, distribution transformer,
LT/HT lines & capacitor bank shall be transported to suitable formats developed by IMaCS
for analysis. Evaluate of the existing capacity of the system and the required capacity shall be
done using the above proposed methodology to determine the infrastructural deficiency in the
system. The additional capacity/number so obtained shall be multiplied with the cost of the
system to determine the investment requirement for each system. The summation of all the
calculated investment from (A) to (G) shall determine the total investment requirement of the
utility for reduction of losses and mitigate infrastructural deficiency.
11.0 PREREQUISITE FOR PROJECT
In order to establish the base line data and calculate the AT&C losses of the project area,
utilities need to fulfill following pre requisite,
4.1 Proper metering at input points and different voltage levels of the project area

in above said modules, billing system shall be modified in way so that required data can be
obtained.

meters shall be installed at different points (a) Meters shall be installed on the feeders feeding
inside as well as outside the sub-division, irrespective of the location of the substation they
are emanating (b) Meters shall be installed at the feeders feeding outside the sub-division but
emanating from substations inside the area (c) Meters shall be installed at sub-stations.
