REBAN: Reduction of Losses by Balancing Network

Low voltage distribution networks are often subject to excessive voltage drops or losses, due in particular to phase imbalances. The Electricity Distribution Company has to distinguish between those disorders linked to imbalances and those due to insufficient network sizing.

It shall also determine the cost effectiveness of planned balancing and reinforcement projects, in order to prioritise these projects and to define the optimal short- to medium term investment planning. The aim of REBAN is to assist the Electricity Distribution Company in this procedure.

Assisted optimisation of investment choices

REBAN (Low voltage network) provides all the traditional functions of a low voltage network calculation package.

Based on a more or less accurate description of the network and its different loads (which may be individualised or analysed in a linear breakdown), REBAN plots in colour graphs or in table form the transits and their margin, voltage drops and their gravity, as well as the power losses in transit lines.

In addition, REBAN offers the following specific features:

Possibility of calculation of two or three phase networks with a neutral distributed at an adjustable impedance,
Handling of imbalances between phases,
Adaptability of input according to the Distribution Company's available data,
Proposed switching of loads from one phase to another,
Proposition of economically justified reinforcements,
Calculation of return expected from proposed balancing and reinforcement projects, in compliance with the Distributor's specific economic parameters·
Summary presentation of the results of the different network statuses: "initial", "balanced" and "reinforced".

User-friendlyness and flexibility of use

REBAN is particularly well adapted for quick evaluation of investment aimed at correcting major power losses or voltage drops.

REBAN runs on microcomputer in a Windows 2000, XP or Vista environment. It therefore provides all the userfriendliness and functionality of Windows.

REBAN uses an efficient load balancing algorithm not requiring from the user any prior knowledge about low voltage network processing.

REBAN is available in 3 languages:

French,
English,
Spanish,

and can be translated to any other language upon request.

REBAN can open and convert studies made with LVNET.
