This document provides an overview of global and Bangladeshi power systems, including generation, transmission, and distribution. It discusses various energy sources and their classification as renewable or non-renewable. For Bangladesh specifically, it outlines the role of the Bangladesh Power Development Board, current generation capacity breakdown by fuel type, status and locations of power plants, and anticipated growth in peak demand through 2030.

2. Energy and its types
• Energy is defined as the capacity of a body for doing work
• Energy can take a variety of forms:
• Mechanical energy – potential and kinetic energy
• Electrical energy
• Electrical energy can be stored in a capacitor
• Chemical energy
• Both mechanical and electrical energy can be converted into heat
which itself is a form of energy

3. Sources of Energy
Renewable and Non-renewable

4. Sources of Energy
• Renewable
An energy source that can
be replenished in a
short period of time
• Non – Renewable
An energy source that we
cannot replace

22. BPDB
• Bangladesh Power Development Board (BPDB) is a statutory body
created on May 1, 1972
• BPDB started its operation with Installed Generation capacity of only
200 MW which was increased to 22,482 MW in Sep 2022
• Maximum generation was 10,084 MW on 19 Mar 2018
