3. Electricity is the basic need for the economic development of any country. Electricity has now
become a necessity for all as it powers the machinery, the computers, the health-care systems
and the entertainment of modern society. Every power system has three major
components.which are as follows:
Load
T.L
Transmission Line
Generator
Figure 1.1. Components of a Power System
 Generation: source of power, ideally with a specified voltage and Frequency.
 Transmission system: transmits power; ideally as a perfect conductor.
 Load: consumes power; ideally with a constant resistive value.
BRIEF HISTORY OF ELECTRIC POWER
 1885 – invention of transformer
 Mid 1880’s – introduce ac system
 1893 – First 3 phase transmission line operating at 2.3 kV
 Early 1900’s – Private utilities supply all customers in area (city); recognized as a natural
monopoly.

4. ELECTRICAL POWER SYSTEM
How electrical power system works in various places is defined in the figure given
below:
Figure 1.2. Typical Power System.
STEPS OF TYPICAL POWER SYSTEM:
1) The generating station converts the energy of gas, oil, coal or nuclear fuel to electric
energy. The generator voltage is around 15-25 kV (12.5KV at Mangla Dam Generation).
2) The main transformer increases the voltage to 230-765 kV. (220-500KV in Pakistan). This
reduces the current and losses.
3) The high voltage transmission line transports the energy from the generating station to
the large loads, like towns. Example: Energy generated at Palo Verde is transported by a
500 kV line to the KYRENE substation at Phoenix.
4) The high voltage substation reduces the voltage to 500-220 / (220-132) kV. The
substation serves as a node point for several lines.
5) The sub-transmission lines (132 kV-11 kV) connect the high voltage substation to the
local distribution station.
6) The Distribution lines 11 kV distribute the energy along streets or underground. Each
line supplies several step-down transformers distributed along the line.

5. 7) The distribution transformer reduces the voltage to 240 (1-phase) or 415V (3-phase)
which supplies the houses, shopping centers, etc.
GENEARATION OF ELECTRICAL ENERGY
Electrical energy is generated at the power stations by synchronous generators. Typical
generation voltages vary from 3.3 to 33 kV depending upon the demand of the load.
GENERATION SOURCES IN PAKISTAN:
The Energy mix in Pakistan and various other countries for the year 2003-04 is
given in Table 1.1:
Sources Pakistan India UK USA Canada
Oil 30.0% 35.0% 35.0% 40.0% 30.0%
Natural Gas 50.0 % 7.0% 35.0% 23.0% 27.0%
Coal 1.0 % 55.0% 16.0% 23.0% 24.0%
Other (Hydel, Nuclear, etc.) 19% 3.0% 14.0% 14.0% 19.0%

Table 1.3 – Energy Consumption in Pakistan 2003-04
POTENTIAL AVAILABLE FOR POWER GENERATION
God has blessed Pakistan with tremendous potentials available for power generation is:
 Hydel Potential
 Coal Potential
MULTIPURPOSE PROJECT:
Following table presents the multipurpose projects whose feasibility are
completed.

Basha 4500 In Hand
Total 8840
Table 1.4 – Future Multipurpose projects in Pakistan 2003-04

7. The electricity demand in the country is increasing day by day. The demand/supply
projections indicates that power shortage will appear from the year 2006, and will increase to
5500 MW in the year 2010 if no measures are taken to bring in new capacity.For Pakistan, the
cornerstone of self-reliance in power sector development is optimal utilization of hydel
resources.
Hydropower is cheaper, eternally available source of energy and a bounty of nature in contrast
to environmentally hazardous and non-renewable sources of energy. Pakistan is fortunate to
be endowed with economically exploitable hydropower potential of more than 50,000 MW.
There are vast resources of coal in Pakistan as well and coal is a cheap indigenous energy
resource. Pakistan’s coal resources may generate more than 100,000 MW of electricity for the
next 30 years.
The power requirements must be fulfilled by setting up new projects based on indigenous fuel
resources such as coal, hydel power, and renewable energies.
Development & utilization of indigenous available potential fuel resources will not only reduce
the cost of electricity but also strengthen the country’s economy and save precious foreign
exchange.
POWER TRANSMISSION
The power stations are located quite far away from the load centers. Transmission
networks are required to:q
 Connect generating plants to consumption points
 Create large power pools for increased reliability
The primary transmission voltages are 110, 132, 220 or 500 kV depending upon the distance
and amount of power to be transmitted. Secondary transmission is normally of the order of
66kV (obsolete in Pakistan now) and 132 kV.
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

8. The equipment used for power transmission system is
 Transformers
 Step-up transformer
 Voltage Regulators
 Phase Shifters
 Step-down Transformers
 Transmission Lines & Cables

POWER DISTRIBUTION
Power Distribution System receives electrical energy from the HV/MV levels at bulk
power delivery points and supplies energy to customers
 At standard voltage levels
 Single phase and/or three-phase
The voltages for primary distribution are 11, 6.6 or 3.3 kV depending upon the requirement of
bulk consumers and for secondary distribution the voltage level are 415/240V.
It is made up of the following main equipment:

Power Distribution
Figure 4. Typical Power Distribution System
A distribution system may further be classified into feeders, distributors and service mains.
1. FEEDERS:
Feeders are the conductors, which connect the substations to the areas fed
by those substations. Generally feeders are not tapped at any point for supply to
the consumers, therefore, current density remains constant throughout the
length of the feeder. Hence, it is designed mainly for constant current carrying
density.
2. DISTRIBUTORS:
Distributors are the conductors from which load is tapped at different
points for supply to the consumers. The current density of a distributor does not
remains constant throughout its length. Distributors are designed mainly for
voltage drop in them. The voltage drop in a distributor should not exceed +- 5%.
3. SERVICE MAINS:
Service Mains are the conductors, which connect the distributor to the
consumer’s premises.

companies (Disco) are being constituted: which are
 LESCO
 GEPCO
 MEPCO
 IESCO
 FESCO
 KESC
 PESCO

11. THREE PHASE POWER SYSTEM:
THREE-PHASE SUPPLY:
A three-phase supply is generated when three coils are placed 120° apart and the
whole rotated in a uniform magnetic field as shown in Figure 19.2(a). The result is three
independent supplies of equal voltages which are each displaced by 120° from each other
as shown in Figure 19.2(b).
The convention adopted to identify each of the phase voltages is:
R-red, Y-yellow, and B-blue, as shown in Figure 19.2.
Figure :Three-phase supply
The phase-sequence is given by the sequence in which the conductors pass the point
initially taken by the red conductor. The national standard phase sequence is R, Y, B.
A three-phase a.c. supply is carried by three conductors, called ‘lines’ which are coloured
red, yellow and blue. The currents in these conductors are known as line currents (IL) and
the p.d.’s between them are known as line voltages (VL). A fourth conductor, called the
neutral (coloured black, and connected through protective devices to earth) is often used
with a three-phase supply.
If the three-phase windings shown in Figure 19.2 are kept independent then six wires are
needed to connect a supply source (such as a generator) to a load (such as motor). To
reduce the number of wires it is usual to interconnect the three phases. There are two
ways in which this can be done, these being:
 A Astar connection, and
 A delta, or mesh, connection.

12. Sources of three-phase supplies, i.e. alternators, are usually connected in star,
whereas three-phase transformer windings, motors and other loads maybe co
either in star or delta.
BALANCED 3-PHASE SYSTEM:
A balanced 3 phase () system has
 three voltage sources with equal magnitude, but with an angle shift of 120
 equal loads on each phase
 equal impedance on the lines connecting the generators to the loads
Bulk power systems are almost exclusively 3
Single phase is used primarily only in low voltage, low power settings, such as residential
and some commercial
ADVANTAGES OF 3-PHASE POWER S
 Can transmit more power for same amount of wire (twice as much as single phase)
 Torque produced by 3 machines is constant
 Three phase machines use less material for same power rating
 Three phase machines start more easily than single phase machines

14. POWER TRANSFORMER
1 TRANSFORMERS:
A transformer is a static electrical device used in electric power systems to
transfer power between circuits through the use of electromagnetic induction. Transformers
are devices that transfer energy from one circuit to another by means of a common magnetic
field. When an alternating current flows in a conductor, a magnetic field exists around the
conductor. If another conductor is placed in the field created by the first conductor such that
the flux lines link the second conductor, then a voltage is induced into the second conductor.
The use of a magnetic field from one coil to induce a voltage into a second coil is the principle
on which transformer theory and application is based. Transformers range in size from
thumbnail-sized used in microphones to units weighing hundreds of tons interconnecting the
power grid. A wide range of transformer designs are used in electronic and electric power
applications. Transformers are essential for the transmission, distribution and utilization
of electrical energy.
1.1 INDUCTION LAW:
The transformer is based on two principles:
 An electric current can produce a magnetic field.
 A changing magnetic field within a coil of wire induces a voltage across the ends of
the coil (electromagnetic induction).
current passing through the primary coil creates a magnetic field. The primary and secondary
coils are wrapped around a core of very high magnetic permeability, so that most of the
magnetic flux passes through both the primary and secondary coils. Any secondary winding
connected load causes current and voltage induction from primary to secondary circuits in
indicated directions.
POWER TRANSFORMERS
The term power transformer is used to refer to those transformers used in the
generator and the distribution circuits, and these are usually rated at 500 KVA and above.
Power systems typically consist of a large number of generation locations, distribution points,
and interconnections within the system or with nearby systems, such as a neighboring utility.
The complexity of the system leads to a variety of transmission and distribution voltages.
Power transformers must be used at each of these points where there is a transition between
voltage levels.

EARTHING:
CONCEPT OF EARTHING SYSTEM:
All the people living or working in residential, commercial and industrial
installations, particularly the operators and personnel who are in close operation and contact
with electrical systems and machineries, should essentially be pro
electrification. To achieve this protection, earthing system of an installation is
defined,designed and installed according to the standard requirements
WHAT IS EARTHING:
The process of connecting metallic bodies of all the elec
equipment to huge mass of earth by a wire having negligible resistance is called Earthing.
term earthing means connecting the neutral point of supply system or the non current
carrying parts of the electrical apparatus to the gener
all times an immediate discharge of electrical energy takes place without danger.

EARTHING SYSTEM:
All the people living or working in residential, commercial and industrial
installations, particularly the operators and personnel who are in close operation and contact
with electrical systems and machineries, should essentially be protected against possible
electrification. To achieve this protection, earthing system of an installation is
defined,designed and installed according to the standard requirements.
The process of connecting metallic bodies of all the electrical apparatus and
equipment to huge mass of earth by a wire having negligible resistance is called Earthing.

term earthing means connecting the neutral point of supply system or the non current
al mass of earth in such a manner that
all times an immediate discharge of electrical energy takes place without danger.

18. 1 OBJECTIVES OF THE EARTHING:
 Provide an alternative path for the fault current to flow so that it will not
endanger the user
 Ensure that all exposed conductive parts do not reach a dangerous potential
 Maintain the voltage at any part of an electrical system at a known value so as
to prevent over current or excessive voltage on the appliances or equipment.
1 GOOD EARTHING MEANS:
Good Earthing must have low impedance enough to ensure that sufficient
current can flow through the safety device so that it disconnects the supply ( <0.4
sec ). Fault current is much more than the full load current of the circuit which
melts the fuse. Hence, the appliance is disconnected automatically from the
supply mains.
1 QUALITIES OF GOOD EARTHING:
 Must be of low electrical resistance
 Must be of good corrosion resistance
 Must be able to dissipate high fault current repeatedly
1 PURPOSE OF EARTHING:
 To save human life from danger of electrical shock or death by blowing a fuse
i.e. To provide an alternative path for the fault current to flow so that it will
not endanger the user
 To protect buildings, machinery & appliances under fault conditions ie. To
ensure that all exposed conductive parts do not reach a dangerous potential.
 To provide safe path to dissipate lightning and short circuit currents.
 To provide stable platform for operation of sensitive electronic equipments
i.e. To maintain the voltage at any part of an electrical system at a known
value so as to prevent over current or excessive voltage on the appliances or
equipment .
 To provide protection against static electricity from friction

19. PROTECTION RELAYS & PROTECTION SYSTEM OF HYDEL POWER
PLANT
1 WHAT IS A RELAY?
(IEEE) define a relay as an electric device that is designed to interpret input
condition in a prescribed manner and after specified condition are met to respond to cause
contact operation .Relay are utilized in all as pacts of activity, the home ,communication ,
industry…..etc.
A protective relay is defined as a relay whose function is to detect defective line or apparatus
or other power system condition of an abnormal or dangerous nature and to initiate
appropriate control circuit condition. Fuse are also used in protection and define as an over
current protective device with in a circuit opening fusible part that is heated and severed by
the passage of the over current thought it.
A primary objective of all power system is to maintain a very high level of condition of service,
and to minimize the outage times when intolerable conditions occur. Loss of power, dip of
voltage and over voltage will occur due to consequences of natural events, physical accident,
equipment failure a disoperation by human error.
Protection is the science, skill, and art of applying and setting and / or fuses to provide
maximum sensitivity to fault and undesirable condition.
1 TYPICAL POWER CIRCUIT BREAKER:
Protective relays provide the "brains" to same trouble ,but as low energy device
they are able to open and isolate the problem area of the power system . CBs and varions
types of circuit interrupters are used to provide the "muscle" for fault isolation .
Thus protective relays and interrupting devices are "team" .protective relays without CBs have
no basic value except for alarm. On the other hand , CBs without protective relays are only
energized or de energized manually.
1 TYPICAL RELAY & CB CONNECTION :
Usually protective relays are connected to power system through CT and/or VT.
The circuit can be represented by a typical "one-line'" ac schematic and dc trip circuit
schematic as shown in fig (1-9) .in normal operation and when CB(52) is closed , it is contact
closes to energize the CB trip coil 52T, which function to open breaker main contact and de
energize the connected circuit. The relay contacts are not designed to interrupt the CB trip coil

20. current so an auxiliary relay is used to "seal in" or by pass the protective relay. Then 52a will
open to de energize the breaker coil.
Fig-1.9: Typical single –line ac connection of a protective relay with its de trip schematic
1 BASIC OBJECTIVES OF SYSTEM PROTECTION :
Protection does not mean prevention, but minimizing the duration of the trouble,
the five basic objectives are:
 Reliability: assurance that the protection will perform correctly.
 Selectivity: maximum continuity of service with minimum system disconnection.
 Speed of operation: minimum fault duration and consequent equipment damage.
 Simplicity: minimum protective equipment and associated circuitry to achieve the
protection objectives.
 Economics: maximum protection at minimum total cost.
