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.
