Abstract (EN): This paper describes the methodology and results obtained in the studies developed for deriving loss profiles for the Portuguese electricity market. For each voltage level (LV, MV, HV and VHV) the losses were distributed by the corresponding global load diagram, proportionally to the square of the hourly consumption. Transformer losses are assigned to the consumers of voltage levels equal or smaller to the secondary voltage. Loss profiles (like load profiles) were developed for each specific year, with its calendar particularities, and the global energy balance expected for that year. A subsequent product of the adopted methodology is the set of loss factors, which are directly driven from these profiles. The methodology was developed in a project with EDP (the Portuguese distribution system operator) and the result was approved by the regulatory authority that adopted the proposed loss profiles for market use.
