Advantages of Interconnected system
▪ Reduction in Capacity Saving In an incremental system, it is possible to have larger generators rating because excess capacity of a station may be utilized by the areas fed by other stations as the size of the generator increases the capital cost per kW reduce. Therefore, a saving is achieved capital cost. it is most usefull advantages of interconnected system. ▪ Installed Capacity Saving An interconnection is likely to decrease the installed capacity need to meet the load requirement. In majority of cases, it happens that the maximum demand of one area does not coincide with the maximum demand of another area. This could be because in one area the major load is the industrial load while, in the other it is residential and commercial. If two such areas are interconnected, the diversity of load would cause the maximum combined demand to be less than the sun of the individual maximum demand. ▪ Operating Savings When two different utilities are operating separately, each would run its units most economically. However, when the two are interconnected and the optimum scheduling is decided for the combined system, the operating costs are likely to decrease. Thus, energy interchanges between the two would result in saving for both. It is basic interconneccted power system advantages. ▪ Increase in Service Reliability Every equipment is prone to outage during its operation. System interconnection leads to increase in reliability of electric supply. in the event of one utility falling short of generation, due to forced outage of generator or unexpected increase in demand, another utility of the pool can come to its rescue by making its surplus power available. An interconnection between the local transmission systems of two utilities can lead to an increase in service reliability at considerably less expense than that which both would have to incur in the construction of additional lines. When the lines are fed from more than one-generation source, the reliability is still further improved. These are interconnected power system advantages and disadvatages. ▪ Decrease in Spinning Reserve Requirements Every utility has to keep some generation capacity as reserve to take into account of capacity reduction due to forced outage and scheduled maintenance. As a thumb rule, a capacity equal to the capacity of the largest unit is kept as reserve. When two systems operate separately, each has to maintain a separate reserve capacity. If they are interconnected, it may be sufficient to have a smaller total reserve for the combine system for the same degree and reliability. ▪ Addition and Replacement of Transmission Facilities Load growth necessitates additional transmission facilities the questions like cost or right of way and installation of line and the territory to be served can be more economically and easily decided when more than one utility is involved. The utilities can share the cost and use of the lines. This would evidently lead to optimum use of facilities. These are some interconnected power system adavatages. Now will study about disadvatages of interconnected system as per our titel that Interconeted power system advantages and disadvantages.
