1. Fundamentals

1.1 Introduction to Power System

Power System is a network of high tension wires/cables by which Electrical


power transmitted and distributed throughout a region.
Power System consists of the following main components:
Generation System- Energy Conversion Methods
Transmission System- Ultra-high, Extra-high, High and Medium Voltage levels
Distribution System- Low voltage levels
The Load or Energy sink- Resistive, Capacitive and inductive Electrical devices

2. Transmission Systems:
This component of the power system transmits the bulk electrical energy
from generation stations where it is produced to the main load centres.
The transmission system is composed of:
• Step-up and Step-don substations
• Transmission lines
3.Distribution Systems
The distribution system gives out the energy from the medium voltage
substations to customers’ location. It is composed of:
• Medium Voltage (MV) lines (33kV, 15 kV)
• MV/LV transformer substations (33/15/ kV to 400/380/220 V)
• Distribution lines (33/15 kV, 380 V 3-phase and 220 v single phase)

4. Load or Energy Sink:


Load is the end equipment of the power system where the transmitted
electrical energy is converted to other forms of useful energy.

0.2 Objectives of Power System

The main objectives of the power system are


•To generate adequate energy for supplying the customers’ demand at low price,
efficient conversion system and low environmental and social impacts
•To transmit this energy from long distances of generation stations to the load
centres at low price, more efficient, stable and reliable conditions.
•To distribute the transmitted energy from substations to customers’ at a quality
service, low price and efficient utilization of the energy.

Power system Planning is optimization of facilities necessary to provide adequate


electrical energy in a power system network at a least cost, low environmental
and social impacts through which a sustainable energy supply to customers is
attained. Thus, power system planning gives the necessary basis and jumpstart for
a detail power system design.
