The restructuring of electrical power systems has created different energy market structures and also it has brought a new definition of roles and practices of the conventional power industry. The introduction of power system reforms has shifted the focus of the power supply industry mostly to the commercial issues, especially related to pricing mechanism for usage cost and loss loading. A ‘Pseudo Loading Methodology’, based upon on the conventional ‘Proportional Sharing Principle’ has been used in this paper to trace the flow of power in a real utility of Damodar Valley Corporation (DVC), India. A ‘Participation Matrix’ is formed, the elements of which represent the contribution factor of the sources towards the loads and also towards the transmission line losses.
