Electric energy, which is the main input of the growing world economy, depending on the consumption of the rapidly increasing world population and the devices fed with this energy, have become more indispensable in our lives with each passing day. In the consumption of electrical energy, determining the voltage level plays an important role in planning distribution systems that will directly affect consumers. Distribution systems in our country have been established at different levels for technical and financial reasons. Incorrect choices that can be made during the determination of the voltage level in distribution systems may increase energy unit costs and network losses, and may cause insulation and reliability problems. The aim of this study is to determine the optimum voltage level in distribution systems. A pilot region was determined for a local electricity distribution network in our country, and modeling and analysis were carried out at different voltage levels in the region with the help of a numerical analysis program. According to the results achieved, Insulation and reliability problems at low voltages are few and economic in terms of investment costs, but it has been observed that the operating load and cost are high due to high network losses. In high voltages, although the operating burden and cost are relatively low, it has been observed that the investment costs are high and the isolation and reliability problems are high.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
