 “Without data and without a good plan you are just sitting in the dark.”

Power system planning refers to the planning done to integrate new elements into

the power grid. These elements can be new generators, circuits, or equipment.
Planning is performed at both the distribution and transmission level, and also
incorporates new generation planning

Planning for power systems is essentially a projection of how the system should grow

over a specific period of time, given certain assumptions and judgment about the
future loads and the size of investment in generating capacity additions and
transmission facilities expansion and reinforcements

3 main requirements of a good electrical power distribution system are Safety,

Efficiency and Reliability.

Steps that Power systems must be planned.

1. Load Forecasting
-How much electrical load must be served Where will the loads be located. How
much will the load peak, how much of the load is weather sensitive.

2. Generation Planning
-How much generation must be present. How much reserve generation must be
available. What is the minimum generation reserve that must be present to guarantee
reliable generation supply. What is the acceptable level of generation reliability.

3. Generation Cost Analysis

-What are the best generation sources that will deliver adequate generation
reliability at minimum cost.

4. Transmission System Planning

Security Analysis
-will the transmission system deliver all the electrical energy demanded by
the loads when one or even two components are out.

Transmission Reliability Analysis

-how reliable is the transmission system? What is the probability that the
transmission system cannot deliver the electric energy to the loads. Generation
reliability and its relationship to transmission system design

5. Financial Analysis
 -How will the generation and transmission purchases and construction be
financed? Will the customer loads and the prices for energy guarantee sufficient
revenues to meet the financial obligations.

6. Power System Reliability

-(reliability that takes into account the interaction of generation, transmission,
distribution and loads) How reliable should power delivery be? Can we place a
cost on outages for residential, business, and industrial customers.

Purpose and Benefits

of power system planning
 The purpose of planning is to ensure that the system will continue to operate
reliably given changes to the system.
Power system planning is an activity related to the development of plans for
designing and construction of the system and its elements, which will satisfy
assumed future needs, starting from the given state. First paper presents basic
principles of power system development planning with its concepts. Electrical
energy losses as well as forecasting of energy consumption are taken in
consideration. Basic principles of development planning for each subsystem
(generation, transmission and distribution) are presented. In the second paper,
practical application of techno-economic analysis of the transition from the voltage
level of 10–20 kV in Gračanica is presented with two different investment costs
using four different approaches.
