The Distribution System
Distribution Substations
Distribution substation (DS) have a step down power
transformers, a few incoming HV subtransmission line
and several outgoing MV overhead lines or underground
cables.
DS have several equipment from switching, protection,
metering, voltage control, communication, power factor
corrector and so on.
DSs are located in the load area and the outgoing
overhead lines or underground cables from DS feed the
primary side of distribution transformer and therefore
called primary distribution circuit.

Distribution Transformer
Principles Components
The principles components of a transformer are:
a) A magnetic core
The core is constructed of sheet steel laminations
the laminations are insulated to keep the iron losses
low.
24
Distribution Transformer
Principles Components
The principles components of a transformer are (cont.):
b) The windings
The windings are wound on round formers. The secondary
windings are first inserted onto the core. The primary
windings are then inserted over the secondary windings.
The two windings are kept apart by insulator
25
Distribution Transformer
Principles Components
The principles components of a transformer are (cont.):
c) The casing or tank
i. Mineral (or liquid) filled transformer
A steel tan is used for housing the transformer. The
completed assembly is placed in the tank and bolted into
position. The tank is then filled with mineral oil. Fins (or
radiators) at the side of the tank improves the cooling of the
transformer.

Principles Components
The principles components of a transformer are (cont.):
c) The casing or tank
ii. Cast resin transformer
Each winding of cast resin transformer is impregnated with
synthetic resin before assembly. The cast resin transformer
must be placed in a room or in a closure. The enclosure can
be made of wire mesh or sheet steel.
The type of enclosure will depend on the environment in
which the transformer is insulated. The enclosure must be
bonded to the main earthing bar of the electrical system.
27
Distribution Transformer
Terminal Marking
The terminal marking of the windings of a transformer
are marked as follows:
a) High voltage winding marked with capital letters e.g. A, R
b) Low voltage winding marked with small letters, e.g. a, r
c) Tertiary winding marked with the number 3 and followed by
a capital letter e.g. 3A, 3R
28
Distribution Transformer
Terminal Marking
For a 3 phase transformer with three winding, the
markings could be:
a) High voltage winding 1st phase: A1 & A2
2nd phase: B1 & B2
3rd phase: C1 & C2
b) Low voltage winding 1st phase: a1 & a2
2nd phase: b1 & b2
3rd phase: c1 & c2
c) Tertiary winding 1st phase: 3A1 & 3A2
2nd phase: 3B1 & 3B2
3rd phase: 3C1 & 3C2
29
Distribution Transformer
Polarity
The polarity ( or direction) of the induced emf of the
secondary winding depends on the relative position of the
two windings.
(a) Subtractive polarity (b) Additive polarity

Distribution Transformer
Tap changers
A tap changer is a device that provides the means for changing
the voltage ration of the windings.
It is used to compensate for variations of the primary supply
voltage, hereby maintaining the secondary voltage within the
statutory limit
Types of tap changers:-
1) On load tap changers
On load tap changer can be operated without switching off
the electricity supply. On load tap changers re used mainly
on transformers with larger capacities where the daily and
short periods of voltage adjustments are necessary.

Example
The taps designation is specified a (6-2.5)%(2+4)
It means that
6 taps in addition to nominal, or a total of 7 possible
tap setting
Each tap will adjust the voltage 2.5% per step
2 taps above nominal, 4 taps below nominal
The taps allow for voltage setting at +5%, +2.5%,
nominal, -2.5%,-5%,-7.5% and -10%

Network Configurations

Network Configurations
Mesh Network
The interconnecting circuits of the mesh arrangement
can provide increased security of the supplies to
individual substations, and this arrangement is therefore
frequently used in HV systems.
This arrangement requires more substation
equipment overall, for example switchgear and
electrical connections, it is usually more
efficient in terms of total circuit cost.
The system arrangement is easier to extend and
has a higher utilization of circuits when fully
developed than a ring system.
42
Network Configurations
Mesh Network
A mesh network system consists of a number of inter-
connected ring system.
Advantages of mesh network are:
More than one alternate route of supply
Very flexible in load transfer
No interruption of power supply if faulty
equipment/section is isolated quickly
43
Network Configurations
Interconnected Network
By interconnecting and operating a number of infeed
substations in parallel.
Subject to satisfactory network circuit
loadings such as arrangement can accept
the loss of one infeed interruption of
supplies within the network.
Note: Voltage levels and reactive power flows throughout the
network may be a problem on extended interconnected systems,
and parallel operation of the infeed points can result in reverse
power flows through the infeed transformers under outage
conditions on the higher-voltage system.
44
Network Configurations
Link Arrangement
A similar interconnection between infeed points can be
provided by the link arrangement.
However, by opening the interconnectors as
indicated, the system can operate as radial
feeders with closure of the open points
restoring supplies if one of the infeed
substations is out of service.
45
Network Configurations
Open Loop
A figure shows a common option at MV and LV is the
open-loop arrangement.
Under normal operating conditions the
network is operated as a number of radial
feeders.
On the occurrence of a fault between the
busbar and the sectionalising open point,
once the faulted section has been isolated
the normally open disconnector can be
closed to provide back-up supplies.
46
Network Configurations
Open Loop
Normally the system has two or more supply sources.
The system provides two separate route of supply to any
load.
The disadvantages of open loop network are:
It cost more than a radial system with the same
number of secondary sub-stations and serving the
same consumers.
Co-ordination of the protection relays is also difficult
when compared with a radial system
Estimation of the fault level is relatively more difficult
when compared with a radial system.
47
Network Configurations
Radial System
In addition, purely radial networks without the facility of
back-up interconnection, a common use, particularly for
LV rural systems.
48
Network Configurations
Radial System
A radial system has only one supply source and it feeds a
number of loads.
The advantages of a radial distribution systems are:
Simple to design load estimation and sizing of
components is relatively easy
Estimation of the fault level is easy
Grading of the protection relay is easy
The only disadvantage of radial system is that there is no
alternative route of supply to any consumer.
A fault in a feeder will result in power outage to all
consumers after the fault location on this feeder.

Voltage Drop
Introduction
One of the most important constraints on distribution
system design is the voltage level at the customer intake
point.
This is particularly important for the vast majority of
customer taking supplies at low voltage with no means of
adjusting the voltage received.
A knowledge of the voltage at different locations can
indicate the strong and weak parts of a networks.
53
Voltage Drop
Vd phasor
The voltage drop phasor Vd for a section of line having an
impedance Z and carrying current I is given by
Vd IZ
In distribution system it is the arithmetic difference
between sending and receiving end voltages which is the
more useful voltage drop value.
A close approximation to this can be obtained from the
simplified equivalent
54
Voltage Drop
Vd phasor
The figure has resistance R, reactance X, sending end
voltage VS and receiving end voltage Vr. . It carries
current I lagging on Vr .
During normal load-flow conditions the angle between the
receiving and sending end voltage Vr and VS is only a few
degrees.
For most practical cases the approximation is acceptable.

Vd phasor
In single phase calculations the resistance and reactance
of the return path must be included in R and X.
For 3-phase systems the line-line voltage drop can be
calculated from
Vd 3 ( I P R I q X ) Where V is line line
P voltage and P is the
( R X tan ) total 3 phase power
