文摘

Surveys have revealed that the cost to the economy caused by the occurrence of power interruptions is significant. Distribution transformers constitute the most important technical component of an electrical distribution network. The purpose of this paper is to assess the cost to the Greek economy, deriving from failures of distribution transformers due to induced overvoltages and thefts. The effects stemming from distribution transformer failures to the economy are investigated in the following three sectors: service (tourism, banks, commerce, private and public services), residential and agricultural sector. The above issue and underlying policy matters are of vital importance, especially in the case of the periphery’s highly indebted countries. Finally, a computational model is introduced in order to quantify the relative cost and analytical results are illustrated and discussed.
