| Abstract | In the wake of serious shortages of electricity in Pakistan,
this study points at an important issue relating to a least -
cost power development program for electricity s upply, viz a
rehabilitation approach to loss reduction in the distribution
system.
System expansion has become a popular means of compensating
for losses in electric utilities. The more obvious option of
{utility/consumer ) system rehabilitation, which is cheaper to
apply and generally has higher and quicker returns, is given less
priority. Rehabilitation can bring relief to the supply shortages
in the short term.
This study takes a rehabilitation approach considering the
power distribution system of WAPDA, the largest supplying authority of electricity in the country. It also examines the reduction
in power distribution system losses in terms of economies foregone. Comparative economic analysis is undertaken to assess the
effectiveness of rehabilitation. |
