Gaza Governorate Electrical Power Distribution Grid Reduction in Power Losses and Voltage Drop through Cable Sizing and Reactive Power Compensation

Abstract

This paper introduces suggestion to reduce the losses and voltage drop by reactive power compensation and cable sizing. This losses reduction ratio, the annual saving and reducing in voltage drop is a good motivation to rehabilitate the Gaza Governorate Electrical Grid by applying this suggestion. The grid was unbalanced in most cases, there was a big difference in losses and voltage drop between balance and unbalanced load.
