Power System
What is
s Power System?
Power system is a set of power and control elements operating coherently together to
supply electrical energy with standard quality of voltage and frequency to consumers.
OR
Power system is a largest and complex man made system which deals with the
business of Generation, Transmission and Distribution of Electrical Energy.
What are power elements?
The elements which can generate, transmit, transform and consume the
electrical energy are called power elements. For example: Generators, transformers
and machines etc.
What are control elements?
The elements which can control the voltage, current and frequency are called
control elements. For example: relay, circuit breaker, voltage regulator etc.
Typical Power System
Where, Generation voltage is 11kV or 15 kV or 22 kV or 33 kV
Transformer T1 is 11kV/400kV
Transformer T2 is 400 kV/66kV
Transformer T3 is 66kV/11kV
Distribution system contains loads that are either
ither commercial type (like office buildings,
huge apartment complexes, hotels etc) or residential (domestic) type.
Usually the commercial customers are supplied power at a voltage level of 11 kV
whereas the domestic consumers get power supply at 400-440
400 V (Line to Line)
Line).
Note that the above figures are given for line-to-line
line line voltages. Since domestic customers
get single-phase
phase supplies, they usually receive 230-250
250 V at their inlet points.

Role of Elctricity in the society
It provides a very vital service to the society. We all know how critical electrical
energy is. We can think of it as life of any industrial system. It is something like air for us.
We, in fact, do not think about this until, unless it is absent. The greater the per capita
consumption of energy in a country, the higher is the standard of living of its people.
Whenever, there is power cut, then we think about it. We are so use to it that we
always expect that we switch on something, the power should come and the device
should operate.
So, it should be operated with the goal of achieving:
Highest reliability standard
Lowest operating cost
Minimum environmental impact
Importance in our daily lives and impact on modern society:
Electricity is one of the most important blessings that science has given to mankind. It has
also become a part of modern life and one cannot think of a world without it. Electricity
has many uses in our day to day life. It is used for lighting rooms, working fans and
domestic appliances like using electric stoves, A/C and more. All these provide comfort to
people. In factories, large machines are worked with the help of electricity. Essential items
like food, cloth, paper and many other things are the product of electricity.
Modern means of transportation and communication have been revolutionised by it.
Electric trains and battery cars are quick means of travel. Electricity also provides means
of amusement, radio, television and cinema, which are the most popular forms of
entertainment are the result of electricity. Modern equipment like computers and robots
have also been developed because of electricity. Electricity plays a pivotal role in the
fields of medicines and surgery too — such as X-ray, ECG. The use of electricity is
increasing day by day.

Note: The consumption devices are the part of the Power system and need to be
modelled in Power System analysis. Although they are owned or controlled by
the power utility.

The Power Transmission is accomplished through transmission network
and transformer.
Transmission Networks:
Connect remote energy generating plants to consumption points
Interconnect power pools to reduce generation reserve & cost and
increase reliability

High Voltage Transmission Offers:
Low transmission losses / MW transfer
Lower line-voltage drop / Km
Higher transmission capacity / Km
Reduced right-of-way (land over which a power line passes) requirement /
MW transfer as number of circuits reduced with higher voltage
Lower capital and operating costs / MW transfer

Typical Distribution System
T &D and AT & C Losses:
Losses
17
AT&C is abbreviated for Aggregated technical and commercial losses which means it
is whole combining these 2 factors named as Technical Losses and Commercial Losses.
Technical Losses are unavoidable losses due to flow of power in transmission and
distribution systems which is result of:
Network Design
Specifications of the equipments used in the network
Network Operation Parameters
It is normally in the range of 10% to 15% normally for Indian networks.
Commercial losses are avoidable up to some extent which arises due to operational
loopholes. It is result of:
Theft & Hooking
Metering Issues
Inefficient Billing
Inadequate revenue collection
Low Customer Satisfaction
Non-remunerative tariff Structure & subsidies
AT&C is normally measured in percentage w.r.t any asset distribution asset such as
Feeder and DTR ( Distribution Transformer ) etc.
% AT&C = { 1 - Billing Efficiency x Collection Efficiency } x 100
where
Billing Efficiency: Total Billed Unit (kWH) / Total Input Energy (kWH) w.r.t.
distribution asset
Collection Efficiency: Total Collected amount / Total Billed Amount
Power System Operation and Control
Key Operational Goals
Power Balance: Generation must remain balanced with demand
Total generation = Total Demand + Losses
18
System Security: Equipment power flows must not exceed equipment
rating, under normal or a single outage condition
Power Quality Considerations
Frequency Regulation: System frequency must remain within its operational range
f min f (t ) f max
49.0 Hz f (t ) 50.5 Hz
Voltage Regulation: Bus voltage must remain within their operational limits
V min V (t ) V max
0.95 V (t ) 1.05 pu
Types of Operation/Control
Centralized
It is based on System-Side data
Slow events are handled by this type of control
Such as:
Dispatchers/Operators,
SCADA (supervisory Control and Data acquisition),
EMS (Energy Management System)
Frequency Control (Regulation)
Interchange Control
Generation Dispatch (Control of generating units)
System security assessment and enhancement (both static
and dynamic)
Unit Commitment (unit on/off status)
Decentralized
It is based on local data
Fast events are handled by this type of control
Such as:
Protection against over-voltage and over current
Generator speed control (governor action)
Generator terminal voltage control (excitation system)

Master Station
Utility Control Centre
Regional Control Centre
National Control Centre
Power System structure
The power system structure
ucture is the organizational management of different entities in
power system.
Traditional Power System (Regulated): It is termed as vertically integrated
system,, where generation, transmission and distribution are controlled by single
entity.. Features of this are as follows:
Operated by state utilities (state electricity boards)
Operate as monopolies (have captive customers)
Government regulated
Have to get regulatory approval for rate increase
No incentive to increase generation efficiency
Vertically Integrated business structures for improved profitab
profitability
Restructured Power System (Deregulated):: It is an emerging structure where
generation, transmission and distribution are unbundled.
It has been legislated by Government (Indian
Indian Electricity Act 2003
2003), hoping
that it results in:
Increased competition (reduced rates)
New technology utilization in generation, Transmission &
Distribution
Increased outside investment in power system infrastructure
20
Deregulation has necessitated break-up of traditional utility vertically
integrated structure into independent business units:
Gencos (Generating Companies)
Power Marketers
Transco (Transmission Company-Owner)
Independent System Operator (operating the transmission
network)
Retail Service providers
Discos (Distribution Companies)
