4. What is Power System?
• A system dedicated to the business of electric power:
• Generation (Production)
• Transmission (Transportation)
• Distribution (Retailing)
• A system that provides a vital service to the society and should be operated with
the goal of achieving:
• Highest reliability standards
• Minimum environmental impacts
• Lowest operation cost

5. Electrical Power System
• Generation – 11 to 23 kV
• Transmission – 66 to 500 kV
o Sub transmission – 33 kV to 132 kV
• Distribution
o Primary feeders – 11 kV
o Secondary feeders – 230 V/415 V

7. Power Generation
Power System Analysis 7
Takes place in geographically dispersed power plants
Power plants normally house multiple generating units
Generating units can operate based on different:
• Energy Sources
• Energy Conversion processes
8. Sources of Energy
Power System Analysis 8
Hydrocarbones (oil, coal, natural gas, etc.)
Water
Nuclear
Wind
Solar
Tidal
Chemical
10. Power Transmission
Power System Analysis 10
• Transmission networks are needed to :
• Connect generating plants to consumption points
• Create large power pools for increased reliability
• High voltage AC transmission offers:
• Higher transmission capacity / Km
• Lower line-voltage drop / Km
• Lower transmission losses / MW transfer
• Reduced right-of-way requirement / MW transfer
• Lower capital and operating costs / MW transfer
11. Power System distribution
Power System Analysis 11
Receives electrical energy from the HV/MV levels at
• bulk power delivery points
Supplies energy to customers:
• At standard voltage levels
• Single phase and/or three-phase
Is made up of the following main equipment:
• Distribution transformers (DXF)
• Feeder sections (including underground cables)
• Switches, fuses, reclosures
• Automatic load transfers
• Etc.
13. Why do we Study Power System
Power System Analysis 13
Power System are among the most important components of infrastructure of a
modern society.
We depend on a very high level of electrical reliability.
Power System are among the most complex man-made engineering systems.
In Power System study various field of science are involve as well as economics.
