“…We should be able to separate technical losses from non-technical losses. Technical losses are losses resulting from the energy dissipated in conductors and distribution equipment [10], while non-technical losses are caused by external factors or load conditions [11].…”

Power Distribution systems are prone to losses, be it technical or non-technical. These losses affect the efficiency, revenue, and expansion capacity of the system among others. The losses are mitigate-able though cannot be eliminated. In the case of the Nigerian distribution systems, these losses are abnormally high with detrimental consequences on the effective operation of the system. Thus this study is aimed at classifying and suggesting possible mitigation strategies for minimizing losses in the Nigerian distribution network.

“…This has resulted in transmission congestion and choked transmission networks (CEA, 2016;Xue and Xiao, 2013). Further, transmission losses that are estimated to be 21.5 per cent of the total power are available due to ageing of the transmission lines (Upreti et al, 2018). This shows that adequate power is available in the country, problem lies with the accessibility of power.…”

“…In an another study conducted by Upreti et al (2019), have also emphasized that IPTS is going through a gloomy phase, where in transmission networks are choked and congested. In support of the study conducted by Upreti et al (2018), Upreti et al (2019) have identified critical challenges out of all the nine challenges identified by Upreti et al (2018) using two powerful methodologies, total interpretive structural modeling and analytic hierarchy process, it is necessary to eliminate these barriers immediately from the IPTS to evacuate power efficiently through the transmission network.…”

“…Hence, both the studies have emphasized that there is an urgent need to timely address underlying issues in the transmission sector to ensure power demand is effectively met in the future. This study, therefore, is the extension of the work conducted by Upreti et al (2018) and Upreti et al (2019), wherein an attempt has been made to mitigate the key causal challenge, i.e. absence of strategic planning by government, using system thinking approach of TOC.…”

Purpose This paper aims to present a practical and sequential application of the theory of constraints (TOC) to eliminate the critical barriers to Indian power transmission system (IPTS) that were limiting the entire power service quality. Design/methodology/approach This study uses a well-known management technique known as TOC, which has the capability and positive force to eliminate the barrier through sequential managerial procedures. TOC framework can provide practical guidance to stakeholders of the power transmission sectors through situational assessment, conflict resolution, planning and implementing changes required in the IPTS. Findings This study explains the utility of five-steps thinking process (TP) of TOC especially in the IPTS sector. The study also describes how each step of TP can improve the performance of IPTS against its specified goal. The study brings management’s attention on the system’s weak links that must be leveraged by eliminating them from the system. Major types of constraints are related to the restrictive policy of the sector that mainly include lack of strategic planning, lack of investments and lesser participation of the private players in the IPTS. This study further identifies and suggests various strategies to eliminate the critical barriers of IPTS. Originality/value The five-step process of TOC has been successfully applied in manufacturing sector and service sector processes, such as banking and medical services. This paper has uniquely applied TOC in the area of power sector, which is considered as one of key service sectors that form an important share for the Indian economy.
