1. Definition of Economics of Power Generation:
The art of determining the per unit (i.e. one kWh) cost of production of
Electrical Energy is known as Economics of Power Generation.
2. Variable Load on Power Station:
The load on Power Station varies from time to time due to uncertain demands
of the consumers and is known as variable load on power station.
3. Terms commonly used in system operation: connected load,
firm power, cold reserve, hot reserve, spinning reserve.
1. Connected Load:
Definition: The Sum of Continuous rating of all the equipments (bulbs, tubes,
CFLs, Fans, Electrical Motors, Socket Outlets, and Power Plugs etc) connected to
Electrical Supply System is known as Connected Load.
, , ,
,
For Example: Students considered your house, in your house consist of
number of lamps=6, tubes=4, fans=5, 5A socket outlet=10, power plug=3 etc.
SGP-Atigre Electrical Engg.Dept.
Mr. N.S.Patil 4
Then we have to calculate the Connected Load by using above mention
example.
Step-I: Assume Suitable Wattage for the above mentioned electrical accessories.
Step-II: Calculate used appliance total Load:
No. of Lamps = 6 (Each Lamp Wattage = 60 W), 6 x 60 = 360 Watts.
No. of Tubes= 4 (Each Tube Wattage = 40 W), 4 x 40 = 160 Watts.
No. of Fans= 5 (Each Fan Wattage = 60 W), 5 x 60 = 300 Watts.
No. of Socket Outlet = 10 (Each Socket outlet Wattage = 100 W), 10 x 100
= 1000 Watts.
No. of Power Plug = 3 (Each Power Plug Wattage = 1000 W), 3 x 1000 =
3000 Watts.
Step-III: (By using definition of Connected Load) Add all connected load:
Addition= 360W + 160W + 300W + 1000W + 3000W = 4820 W
Total Connected Load = 4820 Watt.
2. Firm Factor:
Definition: It is defined as, the theoretical (imaginary) value of power which a
power plant (Hydro, Thermal etc) is supposed to produce throughout a year or at
all time is known as firm power.
,
For Example: In Case of hydro power plant with reservoir, the firm power is that
power which a hydro electric plant supplies for 95% of the time. However, it is not
SGP-Atigre Electrical Engg.Dept.
Mr. N.S.Patil 5
necessary that firm power should be produces throughout the year & available
under emergency conditions.
3. Cold Reserve:
Definition: It is defined as the reserve generating capacity which is available for
service but is not in operation.
,
4. Hot Reserve:
Definition: It is defined as the reserve generating capacity which is available in
operation but is not in service.
5. Spinning Reserve:
Definition: It is defines as the generating capacity which is connected to bus and is
ready to take load.

4. Curves used in system operation such as Load-curve, load
duration curve, integrated duration curve. (Simple numerical
based on plotting above curves.
1. Load Curve [ ]
Definition: The Load Curve is a Graph, which represents load on the generation
station (the load is in kW/MW) recorded at the interval of half hour or hour (time)
against the time in chronological order.
Or
The Load Curve is defined as the curve which is drawn between loads versus
time in sequential order. We have to draw the load curve on daily basis data,
weekly, monthly basis data.
Or
The curves showing the variation of load on the power station with respect
to time is known as load Curves.
SGP-Atigre Electrical Engg.Dept.
Mr. N.S.Patil 7
The Load Curve gives following Information:
The daily load curve shows the variation of load on the power station during
different hours of the day.
The area under the daily load curve gives the number of unit generated in the
day. Unit generated/day= Area (in kWh) under daily load curve.
The highest point on the daily load curve represents the maximum demand
on the station on that day.
The area under the daily load curve divided by the total number of hours
gives the average load on the station in that day.
Average Load =
The ratio of the area under the load curve to the total area of the rectangle in
which it is contained gives the load factor.
Load Factor = =
=
SGP-Atigre Electrical Engg.Dept.
Mr. N.S.Patil 8
The load curves helps in selecting the size & number of generating units.
The load curve helps in preparing the operation schedule of the station.
The curve which gives idea of load of a whole day with respect to time (24
Hours or 12 Hours of the day) is known as daily load curve.
The monthly load curve can be obtained from the daily load curve of the
month. For this purpose, average values of power over a month at different
times of the day are calculated.
The yearly load curve is obtained by considering the monthly load curve of
that particular year. The yearly load curve is generally used to determine
annual load factor.

2. Load Duration Curve
Definition: When the load elements of a load curve are arranged in the order of
descending magnitudes, the curve thus obtained is called a load duration curve.
The load duration curve is obtained from the same data as load curve but the
ordinate representing the maximum load is represented to the left and the
decreasing loads are represented to the right in the descending order.
,
From the above figure (i) shows the daily load curve, the daily load duration
curve can be readily obtained from it.
SGP-Atigre Electrical Engg.Dept.
Mr. N.S.Patil 10
From fig (ii), it is clear from the daily load duration curve that the
magnitudes of load elements are in descending order. The magnitudes are 20MW
for 8 Hours, 15MW for 4 hours & remaining 5 MW from 12 hours.
MW , MW , MW
Plotting these loads in order of descending magnitude, we get Daily Load
Duration Curve. (Shown in Fig. ii)
The Load Duration Curve gives following information:
The load duration curve readily shows the number of hours during which the
given load has prevailed.
The area under daily load duration curve (in kWh) will give the units
generated on that day.
The load duration curve, which helps to give information about annual load
duration curve.

given demand is called as Integrated Load Curve.
Fig. A Integrated Duration Curve
The above figure shows the Integrated Duration Curve, its X-axis represents units
generated in kWh & Y-axis represents Demand of load in kW.
Such type of curve can be drawn with the help of Load Duration Curve.
Fig B: Load Duration Curve

Mr. N.S.Patil 12
Consider Fig. B, let the demand of load can be represented at point A & it
corresponds to line AG (Refer Fig. A) on the load duration curve.
The number of unit generated (P1) corresponding to this load demand are
represented by area OAGF, it corresponds to point P1 on integrated duration curve.
Consider Fig B, let the demand of load can be represented at point B & it
corresponds to line BH (Refer Fig. A) on the load duration curve.
The number of unit generated (P2) corresponding to this load demand are
represented by area OAHF, it corresponds to point P2 on integrated duration curve.
Similarly, all the above mentioned sequence will help to draw Integrated Duration

considered in a given period of time.[
Maximum Demand ]
Fig: Load Curve
We know that, the load on every power station in not constant. The load varies
from time to time. The variation of load on the power station is depends upon the demand
of load with respect to time.
Consider, the above figure, the figure X-axis Represents Time in Hours & Y-axis
represents Load in MW. In this figure, at every two hours give information about how
much load generated. Out of the 6MW load generated during evening period. So that
maximum Demand is 6MW.
The Knowledge of Maximum Demand is very important as it helps in
determining the installed capacity of the power station.

Fig: Load Duration Curve
For load curve & load duration curve calculate Energy Generated per Day
Energy Generated per Day = Area (in kWh) under daily load or load duration curve
= [(60 x 4) + (50 x 4) + (40 x 4) + (20 x 12)] x 103
= 840 x 103
kWh
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Example for Practice: A Generating Station has the Following Daily Load Cycle:
Time in Hours 0-6 6-10 10-12 12-16 16-20 20-24
Load in MW 50 70 90 75 100 40
Plot the Load Curve & Load Duration Curve. Calculate the Energy
Generated per Day.

  • 3. SGP-Atigre Electrical Engg.Dept. Mr. N.S.Patil 3 1. Definition of Economics of Power Generation: The art of determining the per unit (i.e. one kWh) cost of production of Electrical Energy is known as Economics of Power Generation. 2. Variable Load on Power Station: The load on Power Station varies from time to time due to uncertain demands of the consumers and is known as variable load on power station. 3.
