Cost-effectiveness analysis of anidulafungin in the treatment of candidaemia
Echinocandins are recommended first-line treatment for candidaemia [1]. A cost-effectiveness model developed from a UK perspective examined costs and outcomes of antifungal treatment for candidaemia and other forms of invasive candidiasis based on European clinical guidelines [1].
The tariff formation process of electric energy aims to provide enough revenue to cover operating costs and possible expansion investments. One can highlight among the tariff components the costs of energy losses, corresponding to the electric energy that, although inserted in the system, is not even commercialized, either for technical reasons or for commercial reasons. The objective of this study is to evaluate the method of calculating the technical losses according to the requirements of the National Electric Energy Agency (ANEEL), since the required parameters still do not represent a reliable real system. In this way, the current process will be implemented in the IEEE 34 bus system from the software OpenDSS and Matlab. The regulatory parameters are tested independently considering the presence of consumption meters in the distribution transformers. This proposal seeks to argue the possible problems of the current methodology adopted for the calculation of losses.
