Abstract

This study investigates the feasibility of utilizing the line loss power factor to assess the reactive, unbalanced, and harmonic line losses in low-voltage distribution networks and explores the method of calculating decoupled line loss values based on this factor. To achieve this objective, we establish preliminary definitions of single-phase and three-phase reactive, unbalanced, and harmonic line loss power factors, drawing upon the principles of electrical theory outlined in IEEE Standard 1459. These power factors serve as crucial indicators for evaluating the severity of line losses caused by reactive power, unbalance, and harmonic problems. Subsequently, the values of line loss attributed to reactive, unbalanced, and harmonic components are decoupled and quantified using the line loss power factor as a fundamental parameter. The effectiveness and accuracy of the proposed method were verified in Matlab simulation and physical experiments.
