Abstract
Substations are the main elements of an energy system that must ensure evacuation of power produced in the power plants, connection of lines to transit the power, distribution electricity to consumers. Reliability of a substation is essential for the role it plays in the energy system. In this paper are determined the energy losses in power lines and transformers associated with an electrical distribution station. The real operating regime is analyzed and an optimal model is established to improve the energy efficiency of the power station.
