Power Substations
• Transmission substations: Change
the line voltage whether to step-up or
step-down to allow further power
transmission.

Power Equipment
• Transformers
– Step-up transformers
– Voltage Regulators
– Phase Shifters
– Step-down Transformers
• Transmission Lines & Cables
• Circuit Breakers & Disconnects
• FACTS Devices
- Shunt & Series Reactors & Capacitors
- Static VAR Compensators

Power System Constraints
• To be able to meet the power balance constraint, the total demand must be
predicted. However, loads pattern usually follow nearly periodic daily cycles.
As a result, the demand is generally approximately predictable.
• As the demand is not perfectly predictable, the scheduled generation must be
planned to be able to track the load in time. Tracking errors lead to deviation
on the system frequency from its nominal value.
• Notice that if Pg(t)>Pd(t) for long enough time, the frequency will
start drifting towards infinity. On the other hand, if Pg(t)<Pd(t) for
long enough time, the frequency will start drifting towards zero. 30
Why Study Power System?
• It’s the most complex man-made engineering systems and among the important
components of infrastructure of a modern society.
• Humans' activities nowadays demand and depend on high level of electrical
quality, reliability and security.
• In PS study, various field of sciences and economics are involved such as:
Control &
Mathematics, Statistics Communicatio
Microeconomics
& Optimization n Systems
(Market theories)
The main goals on PS study is to ensure the PS planning, expansion and operation
are:
• Cost-efficient
Risk
analysis/finance/i
• Reliable
nvestment theory
• Has high quality
• Secure
