 Introduction
Introduction

¾ The transmission planning is an important component of

power system planning
¾ The fundamental function of power system is to serve
electricity to customers continuously and high reliably at
minimum cost.
¾ The most fundamental function of power delivery system
is to deliver electricity between the generation point and
the demand point to meet load demand.
¾ The transmission planning criteria specify outage
conditions under which the system must meet future load
forecasts.

Objectives

¾ To investigate the 230 kV transmission system development

plan of Electricite du Laos (EDL) specifically for the
transmission line projects in Lao PDR for the years 2010-2020,
based on the N-1 contingency criterion.

¾ To make the suggestion to adjust this plan in order to improve

the reliability of such regional networks for the given years
based on the transmission system reliability assessment and the
economic justification.

Economic Justification of Each Project

► If all of the corresponding EIRRs and B/C ratios of each additional
project are greater than the interest rates of the World Bank’s loan
and 1, respectively, the system reinforcement with the project will be
economically feasible.

Results

► In the steady-state power flow analysis for Laos’ power systems at

peak demand conditions for the years 2010-2020 based on the N-1
contingency criterion,
Two (2) additional transmission line projects for reinforcing
Laos’ systems were specified.

The EIRR and B/C ratio of additional projects are greater than the interest
rates of the World Bank’s loan (5%) and 1, respectively, the system

 Conclusion
Conclusion

►The results of the studies, power losses, energy not supplied

(ENS) are also reduced, system average interruption frequency
index (SAIFI) and system average interruption duration index
(SAIDI), are also improved.

► The economic internal rate of return (EIRR) of each project can

assist planers to make a reasonable discussion or determination to
reinforcement and expansion planning.

► The EIRR and benefit cost ratio of project are greater

interest of the World Bank’s loan (5%) and 1 respectively,
therefore, these projects should be installed in to transmission
system development plan of EDL, to improve the reliability of
supply are needed.
