OPTIMAL LOSSES IN POWER DISTRIBUTION NETWORKS by M. I. Fursanov

“…It is shown that the optimum (minimum) value of all technical losses of electricity in power network 0,38–10 kV is being achieved at the equality of semi-constant and variable (load) losses in network  and in denominated units for the period T and is characterized by twice value of variable losses. Optimum work load of transformers is determined by their technical data and is equal to (approximately) 40 % and corresponds to relatively low value of minimum losses – 1,73 %. …”
