Commercial losses in Jordanian electrical system (Case study)

The economic benefit from the electric power system is obtained when all generations, transmissions, distributions and the end users are operating at their high efficiency. The higher efficiency tends to lower electrical energy losses. This paper concentrates on the electrical energy losses (ΔE) of the electrical system (ES), both the technical losses (ΔE_T) and the commercial losses (ΔE_C), their types, values, and their impacts on the overall performance of the (ES), with a special focusing on (ΔE_C and black losses "thefts" (ΔE_Bl). In this paper, the analysis of the (ΔE) in Jordanian (ES) for the period (2008-2014) including the (ΔE_C) and (AE_Bl) is investigated and evaluated in details, the achieved results are compared to the works previously done in [1], where the losses analyses for the period (1998-2007) has been conducted and presented. This paper tries to furnish answers to the questions: where; how and up to which value we can minimize the commercial losses (ΔE_C)? What is the economic influence of (ΔE_C) in money (JD)? Finally, conclusions and recommendations on the achieved results is introduced and discussed.
