Impact of Load Factor on Distinct Feeders of 132/11 kV Grid Station in Distribution Network

The poor Load Factor (LF) causes the tripping of transformers, heating of conducting material, failure of insulation and increase of the reactive power. Improving LF is an important issue to stabilize the power system. To investigate the power loss caused by the poor LF, the calculated peak and minimum load data loss at variable loads for times is analyzed. The low LF is calculated through collected data of minimum and maximum loads. The analysis of 7 feeders at 132/11kV grid station is carried out for this research purpose. The distribution system and analysis of load on different feeders are estimated through an investigation of site techniques. The major findings are discussed in the result and discussion section of this study.
