The document outlines the components and steps of power system planning using a block diagram approach. It discusses identifying problems and opportunities, setting goals and objectives, developing possible solutions, selecting the best solution, and reviewing performance. It also describes the long-term, medium-term, and short-term strategies involved, including capacity augmentation, reducing losses, construction of quicker projects, adoption of renewable energy, improving existing plant performance, and computerizing work management.

2. Components of planning
• The first step in developing a strategy is the
identification of the problems and opportunities
that exist.
• A successful utility win have a fertile idea
generating environment. To attain the vision,
perform strengths, weaknesses opportunities and
threats analysis and benchmarking exercises
within the power utility.
• The second step is to set goals (objectives).
• Goal setting is not independent from
identification of opportunities.

3. • The third step is to have a procedure for
providing possible solutions. Tactical and
operational planning involves this step.
• The fourth step in strategic planning is to choose
the best solution, given possible solutions and
the objectives.
• The last step is to have some type of review
procedure to check how the best solution has
actually performed.
• The nature of this review function will depend on
the performance and style of management.
• To implement a strategy, develop the specific
action plan.

5. Long-Term Strategy
 Some technological, managerial and geopolitical issues
require long-term policy and administrative decisions
and include, among others:
• Directions for capacity augmentation to meet the
projected demand need for accelerating hydro
development.
• Environmental issues in power development.
• Inter state/regional issues in water resources
development.
• Functional and commercial issues in integrated
operation.

6. • Land and water availability for thermal power
development.
• Fuel (coal, oil etc.) quality and transport in thermal
power development.
• Energy costs and prices and resource mobilization.
• Organizational deficiencies in power development,
i.e., re-engineering of power industry to bring
efficiency in the management process.
• Private participation in power generation,
transmission and distribution.

7. Medium-Term Strategy
 The broad aims are:
• Renovation, modernization, upgrading and extension
in the life of existing ageing power plants.
• Reduction of transmission and distribution losses.
• Construction of shorter gestation power plants like
gas turbine based combined cycle, generation
schemes etc.
• Energy conservation and load management.
• Adoption of non-conventional energy sources
particularly for rural decentralized energy systems.

8. Short-Term Development Strategy
Short-term strategies aim at:
• Improving the performance of existing power
plant capacity and maximizing its utilization.
• Seeking even power sharing over circuits of
similar ratings.
• Establishing new circuit connection as
required, if possible without recourse to
displacing, lower voltage circuits and at the
highest possible capacity.

9. • Routing new circuits so that they may readily be
used for connection of future power stations, or
for supply points to regional grids.
• Reducing the number of levels of system voltage
used.
• Maintaining uniformly high, but acceptable fault
levels.
• Installing capacitors at various voltage levels (HT
and LT.)
• Computerizing work management system for
tracking recurring problems, materials movement
and maintenance history and to forecast
maintenance schedule.
