Unfortunately electricity is not always used in large demand in the same location it is been generated. Hence, long cables and conductors are used to transmit the generated electrical power through overhead and underground system known as transmission. Transmission as good as it may sound, i.e., making electrical power available to all consumers at different locations and distances far away from generating stations has its own short comings or challenges, of which losses is a major one [3]. Distribution line losses refer to the difference amount of energy delivered to the distribution system and the amount energy consumers are billed. It is important to know the magnitude and cause factors of line losses because the cost is recovered from consumers. The difference between the transmission and distribution (T&D) ———  Contact e-mail: osahenvemwen@aauekpoma.edu.ng a, b Department of Electrical and Electronic, Ambrose Alli University, Ekpoma, Nigeria; c Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering, Federal University of Petroleum Resources, Effurun, Delta State. 2735–9417 / © 2020 the authors.

The 11kV power transmission line at Ujokuen community feeding to Benson Idahosa University was investigated. The following data were obtained as follow: energy delivered, energy billing, total cash amount, billed collected and correspond percentage. From the research work various technical power losses associated with power distribution network were determined and their effect on energy delivered and energy billing and corresponding difference under the area of investigation. It was observed that energy delivered is not constant or linear for the year 2013. The comparison of energy delivered and energy billed for various years were determined. It was observed that there is decreased in energy delivered and energy billed from 2013 to 2015 and the system witnessed a slightly increase of energy delivered and energy billed from 2016 to 2018. The energy level differentials are due to copper losses, energy theft and core loss. https://doi.org/10.37121/jectr.vol1.114 Keywords: Billing Cash amount Energy losses Power distribution system brought to you by CORE View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk provided by SciengtexOpen Journal System
