Abstract

SWER is a form of electricity distribution now currently being implemented in rural areas for its economic value. Previous studies on SWER were already conducted in UPLB. The objectives of the past studies were to be able to describe the relationship of various factors to the voltage drop in the ground. For this study, instead of looking into one SWER system in operation, two simultaneously operating system are analyzed. A double source and single source system were tested and conclusions were made based on the data gathered with the help of statistical analysis. It was concluded that for a double source set up, no fluctuations or changes in values were observed for a single system in operation and two systems working simultaneously. Generalizations were made that each system is independent from one another and that there are negligible effects on the presence of another system in operation. For a single source set up, equations modeling the voltage drop in the ground from different variables are generated through correlation, linear regression and data transformation. The best model is tested for its validity through homogeneity test, normal distribution and t-test of mean residuals. The generated model which best describes the relationship of the voltage drop in the ground for a single source two SWER distribution system is given by the following equation..
