Non-Technical Losses on the Electrical Distribution Network [WG 2024-1]
Non-technical losses (NTL) are a complex key issue for any DSO, even tough there isn´t a common practice of sharing specific information, whether it is overall performance, operational procedures or organizational approach (governance).
Due to the undergoing process of metering technology transformation, most centered on operational efficiency, a set of opportunities arise regarding non-technnical losses mitigation, despite context differences, including regulation frameworks.
Increasing capacity on energy flows measurement across the network, aligned with smart meters event data collection, allows greater accuracy on determining its scale and promotes better conditions for concerted operational action, supported by an analytical platform.
