 Background of the Scheme
 This assignment is Proposed under PAT Scheme of Indian Government in 2008 under its National Mission on
Enhanced Energy Efficiency (NMEEE) in National Action Plan on Climate Change (NAPCC)., the main features of the
scheme are :

 PAT scheme is a regulatory instrument to reduce specific energy consumption in energy intensive industries, with an
associated market based mechanism to enhance the cost effectiveness through certification of excess energy saving
which can be traded.

 Under this scheme, reductions in specific energy saving targets are assigned to Designated Consumers (DCs) for a
three year cycle. The target reduction for each DC is based on their current levels of energy efficiency, so that energy
efficient DCs will have lower target of percentage reduction, as compared to less energy efficient DCs which will have
higher targets.
 FY2014-15 is taken as Baseline year & targets given to DCs for Loss reduction.

 Details of nos. of connections, no. of disconnection, connected load & load growth.
 Details of Feeder by consumers class of categories (domestic, industrial, commercial, Agriculture

 Analysis of T&D and AT&C loss data of last Five years (FY2012-13, FY2013-14, FY2014-15, FY2015-16,
FY2016-17) to be conducted and establish loss reduction trend w.r.t. technology reforms
implemented by DISCOMS.
 Development of Calculation sheet for calculating AT&C losses.
 Submission of Report to BEE/EESL.
 Concept of T&D and AT&C Losses
 T&D losses are nothing but losses due to energy dissipated in Conductor, transformation and other
equipment’s used for Transmission & Distribution of power which are purely technical.
 AT&C losses are combined losses of both technical & commercial losses
 These AT&C losses are inherent in a Transmission & Distribution system and can be reduced to a certain
level.
 DISCOMs are trying to reduce the above losses by various schemes of Utilities, MoP, GoI, PFC & REC like
RAPDRP Part A & B, IPDS, Feeder Separation, HVDS, LVDS, System Strengthening, UG Cabling, NJY,
Replacement of Old mechanical meters by Electronics meters for accuracy, Replacement of old
undersized conductor by higher capacity conductor, using BEE star rated transformers, by using LED’s in
Utilities etc.
 However losses in Discoms will exists due to Pilferage by hooking, bypassing meters, defective meters,
errors in meter reading and in estimating un-metered supply of energy and these will leads to
commercial losses.
 The same cannot be accepted as there is significant quantum of losses and there by DISCOMs revenue
will reduce.
 Thus AT&C Losses are now being used as major parameter for determination of the performance of
DISCOMs.
 Computation of T&D and AT&C Losses
 Computation of T&D Losses
 The T&D losses are measured by using formula as mentioned below:-
T&D Losses = [(Energy Input to feeder (MU) – Billed Energy to Consumer (MU)) / (Energy Input MU)] x 100
 Computation of AT&C Losses
 The aggregate technical and commercial losses are measured by using formula mentioned below:-
AT&C Losses=[1-(Billing Efficiency * Collection Efficiency)]*100
 Computation of Billing Efficiency
 Billing efficiency is the ratio of Energy billed to energy Input. Billing Efficiency can be computed using formula
Billing Efficiency= Total Units Billed (MU) /Total Input (MU)
 Computation of Collection Efficiency
 Consumers billed on basis of energy consumed through meter reading and assessment of unmetered connection.
The bill amount is computed as per tariff fixed.. Collection efficiency is measured :-
Collection Efficiency =Revenue Collected (in Rs)/ Revenue Billed (in Rs)
 General Practice adopted by Utilities to Calculate AT&C Losses

 Normally in Karnataka DISCOMS the agriculture supply to farmers are not metered & billed
Upto 10HP connected load, however the govt. will subsidies the agriculture consumption
bills on average consumption per month per HP basis on predominant IP sets transformer
meter reading.
 Most of the feeders are segregated and also under segregation for domestic and IP loads.
 Feeder wise consumer indexing and energy audit has not properly done and now they are
doing.
 Hence the feeder wise energy audit data for previous years may not be available.
 Billing and collection & calculation of AT&C losses is normally done on sub-division wise.
Now they are started doing feeder wise.
 Hence this verification of audit can be done by company wise.
