The new Method for Identifying Demand Consumers with a Reactive Power Consumption Outside the Scope set by the Ministry of Energy

With the installation and operation of smart meters in recent years and access to hourly data flow these meters, better understanding and management the Load profile of demand consumers is possible. In this paper, using this possibility, an indicator for identifying subscribers who, despite their reactive consumption and power factor less than 0.9 in different times, do not pay reactive cost, and for the joint distribution company, as a reactive consumer Not identifiable and occupy the power grid capacity, is provided. In this paper, two different scenarios are used to calculate the detriment factor based on the consumer's power factor, from which the consumers that need to be corrected or capacitors are introduced. The analytical results of this approach are presented in this paper for 715 consumers with the primary voltage connection at the level of Tehran's power distribution company.
