1.1 Basic Structure of Power System

• Power System is a network of high tension wires/cables by which Electrical power
transmitted and distributed throughout a region.
• Planning is a powerful tool for the improvement and development of a nation. Power crises
today is partly attributed to poor planning for power in fifties and sixties. The first job of a
planning engineer is to predict the future load. It has been found from experience that it
takes nearly five years to put up a thermal unit or hydel unit associated with a dam into
commercial operation from the blue print stage.
Power System consists of the following main components:
❑Generation System- Energy Conversion Methods
❑Switchgear – Step-up transformer in the Generation station
❑Transmission System- Ultra-high, Extra-high, High and Medium Voltage levels
❑Substation-Step up or step down Transformer or switching substation

Brief description of the main Power System Components:
1.Generation System
Types of Energy Resources:

•Oil, Natural Gas, Coal, Atomic energy (Fossil fuel resources)
•Solar, Hydro, wind, hot water/spring, Biomass (Renewable energy
Resources)
Types of Energy Conversion Methods/Generation Systems:
•Diesel Generator, Gas Turbine, Steam Turbine, Combined Cycle Gas Turbine
(CCGT), Steam Injected Gas Turbine, Nuclear power (Conventional systems)
•PV System, Solar Thermal, Hydropower, Wind Power, Geothermal, Biomass
(Renewable conversion systems)
2. Transmission Systems:
This component of the power system transmits 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.
1.2 Objectives of Power System Planning
The main objectives of power system planning are:
1. To generate adequate energy for supplying the customers’ demand at low
price, efficient conversion system and low environmental and social impacts
2. To transmit this energy from long distances of generation stations to the load
centres at low price, more efficient, stable and reliable conditions.
3. To distribute the transmitted energy from substations to customers’ at a
quality service, low price and efficient utilization of the energy.
Definition:
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→ construction →operation.
1.3 Brief introduction of the Course
Power system planning encompasses a broad collection of activities spanning
several time horizons and can be divided into categories of analysis such as
demand, generation, transmission and distribution. Thus, bulk power system
planning includes Load Forecast, Generation Planning, Transmission and
Distribution planning at a reasonable expansion cost. Power system planning
is usually done on a long-term planning horizon up to 20 to 25 years.
A. Load Forecasting:
▪ It determines the future trend of electricity consumption of each demand sectors
starting from the base year for the whole projection period.
▪ It determines the total annual consumption as well as its discissions in to local and
interconnection power pool loads.
▪ It depends mainly on the historical and current data of the base year, national GDP
growth, population growth, customers’ income growth, government plan on rural
electrification, government policies and view on climate issues etc.
▪ It includes the historical data analysis and modelling annual forecast of energy
demand and peak capacity demand of a power system network within the
projection period.
B. Generation Planning:
Generation planning determines the sequence or scheduling of future

generation plants that serve the forecasted energy and peak power capacity
demand in a sustainable and economic manner. During generation planning the
following issues shall be addressed
▪ The Generation type, location, technology, size, potential, construction
period and timing of future generation plants that will be added to the
power system.
▪ The generation investment cost, Operating and Maintenance (O&M) cost
both fixed and variable costs
▪ Generation fuel consumption or running cost for thermal power plants
▪ Environmental and social impacts and their associative costs
▪ Retirement plan for existing generation stations
▪ The annual average and firm energy of the generation plants for the
expected life time of each generation plants.
▪ Long-run marginal generation cost for each kWh energy unit.
▪ Etc…
C. Transmission Planning:
The transmission planning determines the expansion or rehabilitation plan of
transmission system based on the existing system, forecasted demand,
generation schedule and generation location at a least cost, stable, reliable and
efficient planning criteria.
In the transmission network planning some of the following issues, but not
limited, shall be appraised:
▪ The need for new substations and transmission lines as well as the need for
reinforcement in the existing system
▪ The voltage levels and right-of-way constraints
▪ The investment cost, O&M cost
▪ Line loadability, reliability, stability analysis
▪ substation Capacity, reliability and switching stability
▪ Compensating equipment requirements for voltage stability
▪ System network stability (Voltage magnitude, generator angle or voltage
angle and Frequency) and reliability during contingency and fault cases
▪ Modelling each component of a power system and analysis the steady state
and transient stabilities as well as the fault levels at each node of the
network.
D. Power system Operation
▪ Power System operation is the act of managing the power system network in
a low cost, efficient, stable, reliable and sustainable manner.
▪ The time frame for power system operation varies from a few seconds to a
few weeks. To assist with the operation of the system, modern power
systems are equipped with Energy Management Systems which coordinates
various control functions in system operation.
▪ The prime goal of Energy Management systems is the secure and economic
operation of power systems to ensure uninterrupted, safe flow of power to
customers at minimum cost.
