ENERGY REQUIREMENTS A power station feeds different types of consumers—domestic, commercial, industrial, agricultural etc. The present day power stations invariably feed a grid which delivers power to the load centres. The design of @ power plant or system must take into account the future increase in load. For this Purpose load forecasting studies have to be made to predict the increase in load in the next 20 years or so. A modern power station takes 5 to 10 years for completion and some hydro-electric stations take even longer time. As such the power system planning must be done about 20 years in advance. The estimate of power and the increase in generation capacity depend on maximum demand. the distribution and variation in demand and the energ 1.2. MAXIMUM DEMAND Each device at the consumer terminals has its rated capacity. The connected load of a consumer Means the sum of the continuous ratings of all the devices and outlets installed on his distribution circuit requirements, The maximum demand of a consumer means the maximum power that his circuit is likely to draw at any time. If all the devices and outlets were used simultaneously to the full extent, the maximum demand of the consumer would equal his connected load. Experience has shown that consumers do not use all the devices at full load simultaneously. The maximum demand of each consumer is, therefore, less than his connected load, The maximum demand and the connected load. are related by Maximum Deman Demand Factor = axtmum Demand (1) Connected Load Ifa consumer has 10 bulbs each of 100 watt, his connected load is 1000 watt (assuming that no other electrical device exists in his premises). However he would not use all the 10 lamps simultaneously, At sometime of the day he may use only 3 bulbs, at another time only 2 and still at an another time six. If the maximum number of bulbs used by him demand is 600 watt and demand factor is 0.6 mmultancously is six, his maximum Each device will run at its rated capacity at sometime during its operation, The demand factor indicates the contribution of the device towards the maximum demand of the consumer, Demand factors for various types of loads vary within very wide limits. Some typical values are given in Table 1,1. Example 1.1. A residential consumer has the following connected load : 8 bulbs of 100 W ach, 2 fans of 60 W each and 2 light plug points of 100 W each.

GROUP DIVERSITY FACTOR The load actually used by a consumer at any time during a day depends on his requirements at time. Since the requirements at different times are different, the load varies from instant ti during the day. The electric supply authorities have to make provision for generation, transmission distribution facilities to supply loads to different consumers. ‘The investment in all these facilities Proportional to kVA ratings of these equipments. Therefore every electric supply authority has make a reasonable estimate of the maximum kVA demand of the area supplied by it. In every area there are a number of consumers. Let the number of consumers served by particular distribution transformer be 8. This group of 8 consumers will have different gadgets at their premises and each consumer will use the gadgets as per his requirement. of the consumers will have a certain maximum demand. However, it is likely that the demands of different consumers occurs at different times, This is due to different requirements of these 8 consumers, If this happens, the maximum demand of the group than the sum of their maximum demands, The contribution of the maximum demand of @ co to the power requirements of the group depends on the group diversity factor Group Diversity Factor = ‘Sum of individual maximum demands Maximum demand of the group anned with CamScanner INTRODUCTION 3 ‘The group diversity factor is always greater than unity. The consumers maximum. demand divided by the group diversity factor will determine his effective demand at the distribution transformer. Example 1.2. A group of 2 consumers has the following electricity demand pattern on a typical winter day Consumer A: Connected load 2.5 kW Load from 12 midnight to 5 am 100 W from 5 am to 6 am LLKW from 6 am to 8 am 200 W from 8 am to 5 pm NIL from 5 pm to 12 midnight 500 W Consumer B: Connected load 3 kW Load from 11 pm to 7 am NIL from 7 am to 8 am 300 W from 8 am to 10 am 1kW from 10 am to 6 pm 200 W from 6 pm to 11 pm 600 W (a) Calculate demand factors of both consumers.

For big houses, the demand factor may be only around 0.5. During summer the major part of domestic load may consist of referigerator load, fan load during day and light and fan load during ‘evenings. During winter, the major load is light load during evenings and early mornings and some heater load and referigerator load 1.5.2, Industrial load. The industrial load may be further sub-divided into small, medium and heavy. The chronological load curve for industrial load will depend on the number of shifts per day in the industry, the curve in Fig, 1.3 (6) referring to single shift industry. During night the load is mostly lighting plus some loads like refrigeration load which require continuous supply. Around 6AM some machines start working and the load starts increasing, The shift starts at 8 AM and the load suddenly jumps to full value and remains almost constant throughout the day, except during the lunch break, till the end of the shift. The demand factor may vary from about 0.8 for small industries to about 0.5 for heavy industries. The demand factor, especially for small industries, also depends on the nature of the industry. 1.5.3. Commercial load. This load mainly consists of lighting, fans and smali electric appliances. The load is fairly constant from around 9 AM to 8 PM. During night the load may consist of some lighting load. The demand factor is fairly high. 15.4. Urban traction load, This load consists of tram cars, suburban trains and associated railway stations etc. From midnight to around 4 AM, the load is small and limited to mostly lighting load. Around 4 AM the trains start running and the load starts increasing. Around 8 AM the peak travel and the maximum load condition is reached. After 10 AM the service frequency reduces and ——— ul Scanned with CamScanner POWER SYSTEM : OPERATION AND the load also shows a downward trend. The load again rises towards evenings, around 5 PM, workers start coming back to their homes. After 9 PM the load falls rapidly. 4 1.5.5. Municipal load. This includes load for street lighting, water supply ete. a ‘Street lighting load is practically constant during night thus giving a demand factor and diversity factor of unity. The switching on of the lights and their switching off is synchronised with dusk ang, dawn respectively. Hence the street lights function for a slightly shorter duration during summer than during winter. It is necessary to run separate distributors for street lighting to enable their switching simultaneously. < i ‘The load for water supply is for pumping water to the overhead tanks. It is generally possible | to fit this load during system off-peak hours, usually occurring during night. | 1.5.6. Irrigation load, The load of the tube-wells used for irrigation may constitute a substantial | portion of the system load, For some areas it may be more than even the industrial load. It is a general practice to energise tube-well feeders for about 12 hours a day during night. The demand factor and diversity factor are both almost unity 1.6. VARIATION IN DEMAND, CHRONOLOGICAL LOAD CURVE The system load which is a combination of all the above mentioned loads varies from instant to instant. A graph showing the variation of the system load during the 24 hours of the day is known, as the system chronological load curve. The most important variations of this curve are the monthly and annual load curves each of which is the average of daily load curves over the period named SUMMER A chronological load curve for a typical week day is different from that for a Sunday that for a typical summer day being aga different from that for a winter day. The curve for a typical metropolitan area is shown in Fig 14, --- WINTER Loap During the early morning hours the demand is always low since almost all activities V are at a low key. Around 5 am the load starts | increasing as the industrial and traction loads start coming up. Around 9 am the load reaches \ J a high value and remains almost constant till evening except for some dip at lunch time. The fh eof bao! lefeopal fA; load again increases towards evenings as the ee eee 6 12 residential and the traction loads increase. The aM system peak occurs around S-8 pm and then the load decreases as almost all other loads, except residential, decrease after this time PM —> am PM Chronological load curve for a Metropolitan arca, Fig. 14. On Sundays the industrial loads are mostly absent and traction loads low. As such, Sundays depict a much lower demand. The loads on a Sunday being mostly residential, a Sunday load curve | resembles a residential load curve. During summer the residential loads come up at a time when industrial loads are over and traction loads are decreasing. As such the peak demand during summer is generally lower than during winter. Chronological load curves reflect the activities of the population quite accurately, A cl ‘or a rainy day shows a higher than normal load during the day and evening as compared to day. Thunderstorms during the day usually result in sharp peak demands of short duration Scanned with CamScanner INTRODUCTION 9 by switching on of the lights. Sometimes holiday crowcls may tax the urban electric transport system, causing an increase an the load, The industrial processes and domestic uses impose a highly variable load on the system. One consumer is likely to have a different load curve than the other and the third may have a still different one. This is all the result of the natural fact of the individual differences of the persons. However, as the number of consumers on a system increases, the effect of the individual differences and variations in daily activities is completely submerged into the effect of mass action, As such the daily load curve for one area is not likely to be much different from the curve for another similarly populated area. The early morning dip in chronological load curve is typical of all metropolitan areas in all seasons. Some utilities, by offering low tariffs, persuade people to use energy during off-peak hours thereby easing the situation during system peak load hours. The generation cost to generate additional energy during light load periods is less than the average generation cost. 1.7. LOAD DURATION CURVE-ENERGY LOAD CURVE Energy systems depict a considerable variation in demand. It is necessary, for system planning and operation, to know the total energy requirements and the duration of various loads. The area under a chronological load curve gives the energy consumed (i.e. kWh) during the 24 hours. A load duration curve is a re-arrangement of all the load elements of a chronological curv a descending order. Thus it shows the total number of hours for which a particular load lasts during the day. The area under the load duration curve is, evidently, equal to the area under the chronological load curve. Since the curves are generally of irregular shape, the area can be determined only graphically A graphical method for obtaining a load duration curve from a chronological curve is shown in Figs. 1.5 and 1.6. The abscissa for both the curves is 24 hours. In load duration curve, the abscissa at any load ordinate equals the length of the abscissa intercepted by that load ordinate on the chronological curve. At the system peak load, the infercept is just a point, giving a zero hour duration of the peak load. At load b the intercept is 6, hours and at load c the intercept is. c, + ¢ Sameer es2u1 6 Sid?

These loads are referred to as base load and peak load respectively. These two loads are supplied from separate plants called the base load plant and the peak load plant.

The composite load at a sub-station usually consists of: Induction motors 50-70%, Lighting and heating 20-25%, Synchronous motors 10%, Transmission losses etc. 10-20%. 1.13.1. Effect of voltage (@ Lighting load. Lighting loads do not consume any reactive power. Since the resistance of lighting devices is not constant, the active power does not vary as (Voltage) but approximately as (voltage)! () Heating. The resistance is almost constant and active power varies as (voltage) (©) Induction motors. The performance of an induction motor can be analysed from its equivalent circuit. The active and reactive power vary with voltage in a rather complex manner. The effect also depends on whether the shaft torque is constant or varies with speed and also whether the motor is running at full load or less than full load. The decrease of voltage causes an, increase in current so that the effect on power is small. If the shaft torque is constant, a 10% drop in voltage at full load condition may cause about 0.5% decrease in power. However if the voltage decreases appreciably (to about 0.8 pu) the power increases with further reduction in voltage. (@ Synchronous motors. The active power does not depend on voltage and remains, more or less, constant. A reduction in voltage causes the vars to increase in the leading direction. In most of the analysis the composite sub-station loads are represented by constant impedances so that both P and Q are assumed to vary as (voltage)? However it is only an approximate representation, 1.13.2. Effect of frequency. The power consumed by a resistive load does not, depend on frequency, However most of the loads are inductive in nature. The impedance of an inductive load depends on the frequency and therefore the power drawn by an inductive load depends on frequency. The analysis of the effect of frequency on motor load is rather complex. Since. only very, small changes in frequency are permissible, the effect of frequency on active and reactive power is neglected in calculations. However in load frequency control studies it is generally assumed that a one per cent decrease in frequency causes a one per cent decrease in active power. 1.14, LOAD FORECASTING Load forecasting can be divided into two categories : Long term load forecasting and Short term load forecasting. 1.14.1. Long term load forecasting. It takes a pretty long time to plan, install and commission additional generating capacity, Generation system expansion planning starts with a forecast of d future load requirements. Proper long term load forecasting is necessary for optimal generation capacity expansion. aM Y Tn preparing a forecast, the system planner is confronted with the following questions : 1, Should the maximum demand be forecast using forecasted energy and load factors or forecast separately. rioting Gilt Sie RAE aie d the total forecast be obtained by combining the fo sppropriat the total forecast be directly obtained fromthe l baie Scanned with CamScanner AND CONTI : poweR SYSTEM © OPERATION ing is extrapolatig One method, used by many utilities, for long range oad Moe ee apo Extrapolation technique involves fitting trend curves to basic ee is found growth trend itself.

RESERVE CAPACITY AND REQUIREMENTS Every system must have a certain amount of reserve generating capacity to provide for forced outage and overhaul of generating equipment. The following terms are commonly used in connection with this aspect. 1. Operating reserve is the reserve above firm system load requirement to provide for: regulation within the hour to cover minute to minute variations, load forecasting errors, Joss of equipment and equipment maintenance. It consists of spinning and non-spinning reserve. Spinning reserve is that operating reserve which is connected to the bus (with generators synchoronised) and ready to take load. Many times spinning reserve is obtained by overloading the generators (by increaseing the power input to the turbine) or by fully loading the generating units which are underloaded 3. Non spinning reserve is that operating reserve which is capable of being connected to the bus and loaded within a specified time. This reserve is obtained from fast start generating systems. Gas turbine units and hydroelectric generators can be started and loaded quickly ‘and, therefore, fall in this category. Spinning reserve is more reliable than non-spinning reserve because spinning reserve can espond very quickly.

Moreover the optimal settings (based on equal incremental cost) are also fed to the computer, The computer senses the difference between actual settings and optimal settings and sends command signals to the generators to adjust megawatt outputs. 1.18.4, Automatie Voltage Regulator (AVR), Every generator is filled with automatic voltage regulator.

However some emergency situations occur from time to time, These are forced outage of generating unit, fault on transmission line, sudden increase or loss of load etc. Sometimes mal operation of a relay may also cause an emergency condition. Moreover the failures may have a cascading effect. It is the job of power system engineers to (1) operate the system such that reliability level is maintained (2) ensure economic operation taking all constraints into account. Security control aims to ensure reliability and economy. Example 1.15. A load can be modelled by a constant impedance Z = R + jX.
