 Electric Power Generation by Muhammad

Naeem Arbab
 Main parts of power system

 Generation :

 Transmission :

 Distribution :
 Power station is a factory

 Converts one form of energy to electrical

energy

 Three phase AC system is almost universal

 Main advantage of AC is to easily step up and

step down the voltage
 High voltage transmission is the second
important part of power system
 Large bulk of power transmission over a long
distance
 For transmission , the best thing to see is :

Transmission efficiency , regulation and

economy.
 The energy supplied to consumer on low
voltage level.

 Feeders are conductors which carry power

from transmission substation to various
distribution substation.

 Feeders are not tapped for direct power

consumption.
 What are the various types of load?
 How can power be obtained and distributed
economically ?
 How to select the type of power station ?

 How much power is to be obtained in the

power station ?

 How can load be shared economically between

various power stations in power system ?
 How to choose the capacity of transformers
and location of substations ?

 How to determine the voltage and size of

transmission ?
 Demand factor :
Ratio of maximum demand to connected load

 Load factor :
Ratio of average load to maximum load
OR
ratio of energy consumed during a given period to
the energy used if the maximum demand maintained
throughout the period.
Diversity Factor:
Sum of individual Max demand to Max Demand on
power station.
 A residential consumer has 10 lamps of 4o
watts each connected at its premises , his
demand is as follows ;
From 12 midnight to 5am = 40 W
From 5am to 6pm = no load
From 6pm to 7pm = 320 W
From 7pm to 9pm = 360 W
From 9pm to 12 midnight = 160 W
 Plot Load curve.

 Find average load.

 Find maximum load.

 Find Load factor.

 Find electric energy consumed during the day.

 Find demand factor.

 Residential load :

 Consists of lights,fans,heaters , refrigerators , air

conditions.

 Load varies time to time

 If load curve plotted , generally load factor is very

low it may be 10% - 12%
 Mainly lightening of shops , advertisements etc

 Same load like residential but at larger scale

 Spread more hours of the day

 Load factor may be 25% - 30%

 Not as large as industrial load

It is subdivided into sections depending on power
range.

 SMALL SCALE : takes upto 25kW

 MEDIUM SCALE : takes load upto 25kW – 100kW
 LARGE SCALE : takes 100 – 500 kW
 HEAVY INDUSTRIES : require more than 500kW
demand factor = 85-90 %
L.F 70-80%
 CHEMICAL INDUSTRIES, TEXTILE MILLS ,
LARGE SCALE MANUFACTURING .
 Classified as a separate type

 Special working conditions

 Example : Defiance factories

 Most common lighting load
load depends on authorities

 Practically load remains constant during dark

hours

 Demand factor = 100%

Load factor on 24h basis = 20 – 25%
 Second municipal load is water supply and
drainage
 system, mostly used in off peak hours .
 Type of load for supplying water for fields , by
means of suitable time and season .

 MINING LOAD

 Mining load major at day time

 Large metropolitan electric traction is important
load

 Tramcar has 4 motor normally 40kW each

 Trollybus needs 75 - -100kW

 Suburban train 100 – 125kW of 4 motors

 Some passenger trains also used electric

`
 Load requirement is studied and determined in
individual cases

 Instead of generating its own power

 It takes power from large power company

 Essential part of power project design

 Load requirment of particular area or region

 Forecast based on

 1- past development of power requirement of region

 2- application received from various prospective consumers

 3- trends in the development of industries and other potential

or development of load
 STATISTICAL METHOD :

1- study of data collected from past records

2-Load demand curve variation

3- Mainly annaul increase is 7 - 8 %

 After visiting the area load is forecasting takes
place

 After seeking information of agriculture

commercial and industrial development

 The person investigating this method should

be a good sales engineer
 In typical survey of growth of power load , a
number of factors need carefully analysis

 General geographical region and the

subdivisions of the region where power is to be
sold

 Topography and climate of the region

 Population distribution

 Availability of labour

 Natural resources
agriculture timber minerals and raw material
for manufacturing industries

Economic activities
 Income per person
 Use of electric power and energy , the existing
use and existing rate of consumption of
electrical energy

 Relative cost electric and other form of energy

availabale in region
 The distribution losses varies from 10 – 15%

 After prediction of load , the next problem is to

determine the type of generation

 Which type of generating plant is easily

feasible and suitable condition.
