  • Description: Largely, system loss of around 6 to 8% is internationally accepted. In developing countries, 20 to more than 40% system losses is common. In Ghana system losses in the distribution network of the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) hovers around 23 to 24 %. Even though the company has embarked on a number of loss reduction strategies to 'fight down9 the losses, the result has been very marginal. In this paper, a simple technique based on Lagrange multipliers' concept to reduce technical losses has been used. It is shown that the method can reduce I2R losses (technical losses) in power distribution system by 80%. The method is relatively cheaper and comparatively easy to implement.
