Dyna rev.fac.nac.minas [online]. 2021, vol.88, n.219, pp.218-227.  Epub 15-Mar-2022. ISSN 0012-7353.  https://doi.org/10.15446/dyna.v88n219.94557.

This work analyzes the problem of non-technical losses in a low-voltage electrical power distribution system with an artificial intelligence model. The problem focuses on the use of a backpropagation multilayer perceptron neural network, which will quantitatively determine these losses from the manipulation of the current profile and the voltage drop expressed as percentages of their nominal values. These two magnitudes considered, will allow obtaining from the identification of patterns with large variations a technical assessment or quantification to approach the analysis from a different perspective, differing in the methodological determination of non-technical losses currently considered as a percentage of total losses. The results obtained will allow to form a basis for the correct determination of the non-supplied energy, its influence on distribution costs and energy efficiency for the future insertion of distributed generation.

Palabras clave : electrical distribution systems; total losses; added value of distribution; regulation; renewable energy; distributed micro-generation.
