Verkostohäviöt
Verkostohäviöt refers to the energy losses that occur within an electrical power grid. These losses are an inherent part of transmitting electricity from the power generation source to the end consumer. They primarily manifest as heat due to the resistance of the transmission and distribution lines. The amount of energy lost is proportional to the square of the current flowing through the conductors and their resistance.
There are two main categories of verkostohäviöt. Technical losses are those directly associated with the physical
Minimizing verkostohäviöt is a significant concern for utility companies as it directly impacts efficiency and profitability.
