Lisähäviöt

Lisähäviöt, or additional losses, refer to the energy losses that occur in a power system beyond the technical losses in the components themselves. These losses are not directly related to the efficiency of the components but rather to the overall operation and management of the power system. They can be categorized into two main types: economic losses and administrative losses.

Economic losses include the costs associated with the purchase of energy from external sources when the internal generation is insufficient. This can occur due to various reasons such as maintenance, repair, or unexpected outages of generation units. These losses are often unavoidable and are a part of the normal operation of a power system.

Administrative losses, on the other hand, are the costs associated with the management and operation of the power system. This includes the salaries of personnel, the cost of maintaining the infrastructure, and the expenses related to the procurement and storage of fuel. These losses are also a part of the normal operation of a power system and are necessary for its smooth functioning.

Lisähäviöt are an important consideration in the planning and operation of a power system. They can significantly impact the overall efficiency and cost-effectiveness of the system. Therefore, it is crucial to accurately estimate and manage these losses to ensure the optimal operation of the power system.
