Although these big efforts,</div><div>most approaches for clearly identifying and solving the related problems still remain rather inefficient. The</div><div>accurate identification and the precise calculation of electricity losses enables the clear specification of the</div><div>critical points and segments in the networks and, consequently, the effective prioritization of actions and</div><div>interventions in order to reduce those electricity losses and problems. Moreover, the work already performed</div><div>on this issue, the existing approaches focus mainly on empirical and probabilistic data. Hence, there is still</div><div>a clear gap between real information and the considered one, which tends to be poor and imprecise. Due to</div><div>this reality and the lack of appropriate software applications, in this paper we propose a web platform for</div><div>the management of the whole network of electrical energy distribution, from medium voltage (MV) down to</div><div>low voltage (LV), including billing on the transformation centers (TCs), electricity losses calculation and</div><div>proposals for solving actions, by means of a fuzzy decision-making model.</div>}, number={2}, journal={Sistemas & Gestão}, author={Vieira, Gaspar and Barbosa, Rui and Varela, Leonilde and Putnik, Goran}, year={2012}, month={mar.}, pages={91–116} }
