SECTION 2.0 PLANNING AND DESIGN CRITERIA


TNB in developing the connection system or supply infrastructure needs to satisfy a set of planning and design criteria
which are described in this section.
2.1 STEADY-STATE SUPPLY VOLTAGE PERFORMANCE
(a)

Steady-State Voltage Fluctuation under Normal Condition


Under normal condition, when all circuit elements are in service, the distribution network including
the points before the consumer metering must be planned to be maintained as is table 2-1 below:-

2.2 SUPPLY SECURITY LEVEL


Supply security of a distribution system network defines the availability of supply to consumers following the occurrence
of supply interruption. Systems and necessary network management infrastructure may be designed to meet any of the
standardized security level definitions currently adopted by TNB as indicated in table 2-3.

2.2.2 Supply Security Level to Consumers


For supplies to consumers at voltage levels of 6.6kV, 11kV, 22kV and 33kV, large part of the network are generally
designed to facilitate an average supply restoration of less than 4 hours. For supplies at 240V and 415V, the restoration
period may vary beyond 4 hours depending on the type of network fault.
2.2.3 Request for Higher Supply Security Level
However, TNB can design the supply scheme to meet higher security level requirement of individual consumer or group
of consumers. All additional costs involved in providing the higher security level shall be borne by the consumer.
2.3
2.3.1

POWER QUALITY
Power Quality Requirements

2.3.1.1 The electromagnetic disturbance covers the following phenomena:


a. Voltage fluctuations and flickers
b. Harmonics up to order of 50th
c. Voltage dips and short supply interruptions
d. Voltage unbalance
e. Inter-harmonics up to 50th
f. Voltage distortions at higher frequencies (above 50th harmonics)
g. Transient overvoltages
h. Power frequency variation
i. Dc components
j. Mains signaling

30

TENAGA
NASIONAL B E R H A D

For the purpose of this guideline, Power Quality is defined as the degree to which the voltage at the point
of connection to the consumer of the Distribution Network is maintained to be Sinusoidal at Rated Voltage
Magnitude and Frequency. In this guideline only items a to d are considered.
2.3.1.2 This section specifies the Power Quality requirements of the electricity supply to be delivered to the consumers
in the TNB distribution system in terms of voltage and frequency to be within specific limits so that the consumer
s equipment directly connected to the TNB distribution system can operate safely within its design performance
without suffering undue damage or breakdown. Likewise this guidelines shall be complied with by all consumers
connected and who intend to be connected to the TNB distribution system.
2.3.1.3 In order to achieve the required Power Quality, these guidelines will be used by TNB in planning, developing,
maintaining and operating the distribution system and in connecting Distributed Generation and Demand to the
distribution system.
2.3.1.4 In cases where, the nature and operation of the new types of plant and equipment to be connected to the
distribution system is perceived to be likely to cause problems to customers connected to the System, but not
fully covered by this guidelines, expert advice will be sought to ensure the appropriate remedial measures are
put in place.

2.3.2

Scope

2.3.2.1 This guidelines covers most of the power quality related phenomena generated by various types of plant and
equipment connected to the distribution system as well as those generated by the transmission system. In each
particular case the Distribution Power Quality that should be maintained is indicated together with the remedial
approach and responsibilities of parties.

2.3.3

Voltage Dips/Sags

2.3.3.1 This guidelines does not specifically cover the requirements for transient phenomena which can affect the
voltage level known as voltage dip or sag and swell usually experienced during system faults and the
subsequent recovery period, which can adversely affect some customer equipment sensitive to such changes.
Currently, there is no local or international guidelines that has been established to specify requirements of the
supply voltage to the consumers with respect to the magnitude and duration of voltage dips and swells.

31
TENAGA
NASIONAL B E R H A D

2.3.3.2 Guidelines and guides that exist with respect to voltage dips and swell are those that describe the environment in
which the sensitive voltage equipment may experience which include typical number of voltage sag experiences
and their duration. The main purpose of such guidelines is to ensure that equipment designed to be connected to
the distribution systems to be compatible with the supply voltage performance in terms of various power quality
problems including voltage sags.
2.3.3.3
Malaysian Standard MS 1760:2004 Guides on Voltage Dips and Short Interruptions on Public Electric Power
Supply Systems contains definitions and descriptions of voltage sags and short interruptions. MS1760:2004 is
based on IEC 61000-2-8 with some limited data on the characteristics for Malaysia. The purpose of the Guides
is to discuss voltage dips and short interruptions primarily as phenomena observed on public supply systems and
its effects on voltage sensitive equipment receiving supply from such systems.
2.3.3.4 There exist standards on immunity of equipment to supply voltage fluctuations and distortion with defined
magnitude and duration of voltage dips and harmonics. IEC 61000-2 series of guidelines set out the supply
characteristics e.g. IEC 61000-2.8 as indicated above. IEC 61000-3 series of guidelines sets out the compatibility
levels which should be achieved when designing electrical equipment which may give rise to voltage fluctuations
and harmonic distortion and when connecting such equipment to the distribution system, which will give
immunity to interference to similar equipment connected to the distribution system. MS IEC 61000-4-11 & MS
IEC 61000-4-34 series of standards specifies test methods.
2.3.3.5 Some equipment suppliers and trade organisations also specify the immunity levels for certain types of equipment
for example Semiconductor Industry Guidelines SEMI F47, Computer and Business Equipment Manufacturing
Association CBEMA Compatibility Guidelines.
2.3.3.6 TNB shall upon request from any customer advise the consumer having connected voltage sensitive loads
or intending to connect voltage sensitive loads in their installation to take into account the short duration
electromagnetic disturbance phenomena for selecting equipment with proper maximum intrinsic immunity.

2.3.4

Voltage Step Change

2.3.4.1 Limits of voltage changes due to Load, frequent and infrequent operational switching of Load both by TNB and
the consumer are defined table

2.3.4.1. These limits are based on UKs Engineering Recommendation P28 on

Planning Limits for Voltage Fluctuations Caused by Industrial, Commercial and Domestic Equipment in the
United Kingdom, 1989.

Recommendation P28, Issued by The Electricity Council of UK in 1989 entitled Planning Limits for Voltage
Fluctuation Caused by Industrial, Commercial and Domestic Equipment in the United Kingdom. TNB uses the
procedures contained in this document to plan the connection of Fluctuating Loads and applies the limits therein
in measuring and monitoring the levels of Flicker at such points of connection.
2.3.5
.2 In accordance with the Engineering

Recommendation P28, voltage fluctuations at a Point of Common


Coupling with a fluctuating Load directly connected to the Distribution System shall not exceed:
(a) 1% of the voltage level for step changes, which may occur repetitively. Any large voltage excursions other
than step changes or less frequent step changes may be allowed up to a level of 3% provided that this
does not constitute a risk to the distribution system or, in TNBs

view, any other party connected to the


distribution system.
(b) The planning limits for the Short and Long Term Flicker Severity applicable for Fluctuating Loads connected
to the distribution system are as set out in the table below.

2.3.5.3 In connecting a Fluctuating Load at a particular point or Point of Common Coupling it is necessary to assess the
total Flicker due to the Fluctuating Load itself and the background Flicker measured at that point. In assessing
the total Flicker TNB shall use the so called RSS Rule. This assessment is carried out by the RSS Rule by
obtaining the sum of the squares of the Flicker from the Fluctuating Load and the background Flicker, with the
square root of this sum yielding the total assessed Flicker at that Point of Common Coupling due to the specific
Fluctuating Load and the background Flicker at that point.

2.3.5.4 Connection of more than one Fluctuating Load at the same Point of Common Coupling or addition of further
Fluctuating Load at the same location is carried out on a first come first served basis on the distribution system.
This means that whilst the first Fluctuating Load may be within the allowable Flicker limits and not require
any Flicker mitigation or compensation equipment, the second Fluctuating Load which may cause violation
of Flicker limits will be obliged to invest in appropriate Flicker mitigation or compensation equipment. At
the planning stage, in carrying out the assessment of the total Flicker due to more than one Fluctuating Load
connecting at a particular Points of Common Coupling, TNB shall use the methodology described in P28.

2.3.5.5 In assessing the level of Flicker due to a Fluctuating Load at the planning stage the assessment will be carried
out at a realistic System operating condition giving the minimum number of connections with which that point
on the System can be operated within normal voltage limits and following Secured Contingency Events. This
condition shall be considered as representative of the type of System conditions under which the Flicker due to
a Fluctuating Load will be at its highest value as the voltage fluctuations due to the Fluctuating Load will be at
their highest level under such conditions.

34

TENAGA
NASIONAL B E R H A D

2.3.5.6 If under the operating conditions described in 2.3.5.5 the Flicker due to a Fluctuating Load exceeds the limits
then Flicker compensation, which will reduce the Flicker to an acceptable level shall be installed. For the
avoidance of doubt the acceptance Criteria for Flicker is the 95% values of Short and Long Term Flicker

this document to plan the connection of Loads producing Voltage Unbalance and applies the limits therein
in measuring and monitoring the levels of unbalance at such points of connection.
2.3.7.2 In assessing level of Voltage Unbalance at the planning stage the assessment will be carried out at a realistic
System operating condition giving the minimum number of connections with which that point on the System
can be operated within normal voltage limits with maintenance outages and following Secured Contingency

SECTION 3.0: DEMAND ESTIMATION


Supply schemes and networks are to be adequately designed or dimensioned to meet initial and growth of consumer
individual and group maximum demand.
The demand estimates are based upon load declared by consumer and TNBs own information on load profile
characteristics for various consumer classes. Range of values are given as demand profile are known to varies according
to geographical location of consumers around the TNB service areas in Peninsular Malaysia.
Fairly accurate assessment of individual and group demand of consumers are critical for correct dimensioning of network

3.3 Demand Estimates For A Mixed Development Area.


Accurate determination of the maximum possible demand for a newly proposed development is critical in the effective
long-term planning of supply network within the specific area. Adequate land areas for transmission main intakes (PMU
132/33kV, 132/22kV, 132/11kV), major distribution stations (PPU 33/11kV, 22/11kV), sub-stations (PE 11/. 415kV,
22/. 415kV), underground cable and overhead line routes will have to be allocated at the layout approval stage by the
relevant authorities.
The total demand will indicate the supply voltage and target network configuration for the whole development area.
Network facilities will be developed in phases in tandem with physical development.
Site selections for PMU, PPU, sub-stations and feeder routes are normally made to achieve optimal technical performance
of network and costs based on the planned target network.
Appendix 15 indicates the sample M.D worksheet for a mix development area to be filled up and submitted to TNB at
the supply application stage.
3.4 Demand Projection And Substation Requirements For LV Scheme
Demand projection of a new development area, say a proposed housing scheme, determines the number of sub-station
requirements (11/. 415kV) in the design of low voltage system.
Appendix 16 indicates the method for determining the overall numbers and capacity of sub-station for a typical housing
or commercial scheme based upon the projected demand growth.

Sub-station categories

a. Transmission Main Intake (Pencawang Masuk Utama-PMU)


Transmission Main Intake is the interconnection point of 132kV or 275kV to the distribution network. The standard
transmission capacity and voltage transformation provided at the PMU are as follows:-

44

TENAGA
NASIONAL B E R H A D

- 132/33kV, 2 x 90 MVA
- 132/22kV, 2 x 60 MVA
- 132/11kV, 2 x 30 MVA

b. Main Distribution Sub-station (Pencawang Pembahagian Utama- PPU)


Main Distribution Sub-station is normally applicable to 33kV for interconnecting 33kV networks with 11kV networks.
It provides capacity injection into 11kV network through a standardized transformation of 33/11kV.

c. Main Switching Station (Stesyen Suis Utama- SSU)


SSU at 33kV, 22kV and 11kV are established to serve the following function:1. To supply a dedicated bulk consumer ( 33kV, 22kV, 11kV)
2. To provide bulk capacity injection or transfer from a PMU/PPU to a load center for further localized distribution.

d. Distribution Substation (Pencawang Elektrik P/E)


Distribution sub-stations are capacity injection points from 11kV, 22kV and sometimes 33kV systems to the low voltage
network (415V, 240V). Typical capacity ratings are 1000kVA, 750kVA, 500kVA and 300kVA.
Conventional substation designs are of indoor type (equipment housed in a permanent building) and out-door type
(ground-mounted or pole-mounted). Standardized M & E design of 11/. 433kV sub-station is available at TNB offices.

Compact substation (11/. 415kV) has limited application and is to be strictly applied in selective situations under the
following circumstances: System reinforcement projects for highly built-up areas where substation land is difficult to acquire.
Any request to use compact substation for dedicated supply to a single or limited group of low voltage consumers is
subject to TNB approval in accordance to site constraints situation, and to be considered as special feature design
schemes.

The main reasons for the above application criteria are as follows: Compact design reduces future system flexibility in terms of network expansion.
Compact design features, which limits the capacity of outgoing circuits.

Standard And Special Feature Design Schemes

Standard features of supply schemes are categorized as those typical design schemes for individual or consumer groups
or classes. Typical cases are as follows:(i)

Supply scheme supplying domestic premises is predominantly through overhead systems and conventional substation. A fully underground network and any application of compact sub-station shall be considered as special
features for which all extra costs incurred by TNB are to be paid in full by the consumer.

(ii)

Bulk consumers supplied at 11kV and above, are normally supplied via two in-feeds operating in parallel or nonparallel operation depending on the demand and security level required. If for any reason another dedicated cable
is required purely for reasons of additional security, the extra costs shall have to be borne by the consumer.

4.4

Supply Schemes For Interconnection To Embedded Generators

Embedded generators depending on the capacity will be interconnected at 11kV and 33kV. The design of interconnection
scheme or facilities, which may include protection, operational control facilities will be so determined to ensure safe,
reliable and efficient interconnection scheme. The other design objective is to ensure that the interconnection of embedded
generators should not negatively impact system performance and reliability to existing consumers connected to the TNB
