 Electrical Power Generation

The purpose of the electric power system is to generate, transmit and distribute
electrical energy. The major components of the power system are: power plants, which
generate the electricity, transmission lines, which transport and distribute the energy,
substations with switchgear, which provide protection and form node points, and loads,
which consume the energy.

Overview of Electrical Power System
 Transmission System

The transmission system transmit three-phase power from the

electric generating stations to the load centers. In this system
500 kV, 345 kV, 230 kV and 115 kV lines connect the loads and
power plants. Details transmission voltage are as follows.
Distribution Systems
