Power system planning
Definition
A process in which the aim is to decide on new as well as
upgrading existing system elements, to adequately satisfy the
loads for a foreseen future
Elements can be:
• Generation facilities
• Substations
• Transmission lines and/or cables
• Capacitors/Reactors
• Etc.
• Higher the values of load factor and diversity factor, lower will be
the overall cost per unit generated.
• Higher the diversity factor of the loads, the fixed charges due to
capital investment will be reduced.
• Correlation
– Econometric forecasting method
– identify the underlying factors that might influence the variable
that is being forecast.
• Combination of both
• Parabola: y a bx cx 2
2 3
• s curve: y a bx cx dx
• Exponential: y ce dx
• Gompertz: y ln 1 (a ce dx )
Best trend curve is obtained using regression analysis.
Best estimate may be obtained using equation of the best trend
curve.
