The paper studies an important problem how to increase the efficiency of electric energy transportation in distribution networks with the voltage range of 6-20 kV by reducing losses while transmitting electricity and ensuring its quality at the consumer nodes in accordance with the deviation criterion from nominal in the network in modern Russian electric power industry. A description of the distribution network model is given. The results of distribution networks modeling with the voltage range of 6-20 kV and the use of intelligent control devices based on the thyristor regulator of booster voltage (TRBV) are presented. The high laboriousness of applying precise control algorithms for intelligent control devices for reducing transmission losses in networks with the voltage range of 6-20 kV is shown. The comparative characteristics of the operation of the distribution electric networks before and after the adjustment of intelligent control devices are given.
