New York: IEEE, p. 2117-2122, 2007.http://hdl.handle.net/11449/70031Open access philosophy applied by regulatory agencies may lead to a scenario where captive consumers will solely face the responsibility on distribution network's losses even with Independent Energy Producers (also known as Distributed Generation) and Independent Energy Consumers connected to the system. This work proposes the utilization of a loss allocation method in distribution systems where open access is allowed, in which cross-subsidies, that appear due to the influence the generators have over the system losses, are minimized. Thus, guaranteeing to some extent the efficiency and transparency of the economic signals of the market. Results obtained through the Zbus loss allocation method adapted for distribution networks are processed in such a way that the corresponding allocation to the generation buses is divided among the consumer buses, while still considering consumers spatial characteristics. © 2007 IEEE.engDistributed generationDistribution systemsLoss allocationOpen accessElectric generatorsElectric lossesElectric power utilizationResource allocationIndependent Energy ConsumersDistributed power generationTrabalho apresentado em evento10.1109/PES.2007.385804WOS:000251345402024Acesso aberto2-s2.0-42549134897
