2.1 INTRODUCTION
The purpose of an electrical power system is to generateand supply electrical energy to consumers. The systemshould be designed and managed to deliver this energyto the utilisation points with both reliability andeconomy. Severe disruption to the normal routine of modern society is likely if power outages are frequent orprolonged, placing an increasing emphasis on reliabilityand security of supply. As the requirements of reliabilityand economy are largely opposed, power system designis inevitably a compromise.A power system comprises many diverse items of equipment. Figure 2.2 shows a hypothetical powersystem; this and Figure 2.1 illustrates the diversity of equipment that is found.
