Simple Power System
Every power system has three major
components
– generation: source of power, ideally with a
specified voltage and frequency
– load: consumes power; ideally with a
constant resistive value
– transmission system: transmits power;
ideally as a perfect conductor
11
Notation - Power
Power: Instantaneous consumption of energy
Power Units
Watts = voltage x current for dc (W)
kW – 1 x 103 Watt
MW – 1 x 106 Watt
GW – 1 x 109 Watt
Installed Indian generation capacity is about
150000 mw
12
Notation - Energy
Energy: Integration of power over time;
energy is what people really want from a
power system
Energy Units
Joule = 1 Watt-second (J)
kWh – Kilowatthour (3.6 x 106 J)
Btu – 1055 J; 1 MBtu=0.292 MWh

Complications
No ideal voltage sources exist
Loads are seldom constant
Transmission system has resistance,
inductance, capacitance and flow limitations
Simple system has no redundancy so power
system will not work if any component fails
