2.12 Apparent Losses (AL, A18)

2.12.1 Inputs

For each DMA:

CFL version:

  • System Input Volume (SIV), daily
  • β: Percentage of SIV that results in the AL.

IWA version:

  • Unauthorized Consumption (UC)
  • Customer meter inaccuracies & data handling errors (CMI & DHE)

2.12.2 Units

  • Input, UC, “CMI & DHE” & SIV: L/s
  • Input, \(\beta\) = %.
  • Output: L/s

2.12.3 Formulas

  • \(AL \left(CFL- estimate\right)=\frac{ \beta }{100}*SIV(daily)\)
  • \(AL (IWA-version)=UC+ '' CMI \& DHE ''\)

2.12.4 Aggregations over regional zones

  • Sum

2.12.5 Notes

  • Currently, the AL (IWA-version) is ignored.
