Abstract
Description
Power Distribution systems are prone to losses, be it technical
or non-technical. These losses affect the efficiency, revenue,
and expansion capacity of the system among others. The
losses are mitigate-able though cannot be eliminated. In the
case of the Nigerian distribution systems, these losses are
abnormally high with detrimental consequences on the
effective operation of the system. Thus this study is aimed at
classifying and suggesting possible mitigation strategies for
minimizing losses in the Nigerian distribution network.
