 The electrical power system provides a
means of generating, transmitting and
distributing energy in the form of electric
current, to the ultimate users, the load.

 Generation, Transmission, Distribution

and Load form the four basic elements
or subsystems of a power system
 Generation is simply the conversion of
energy from one form to another.
 The three major types of generation are:
 RENEWABLE
• (HYDRO,SOLAR,WIND)
 NON-RENEWABLE
• (THERMAL,NUCLEAR)
 SUSTAINABLE
• (BIO-GAS)
 The transmission system consists of a
network of overhead lines or in densely
populated areas, under ground cables

 The lines are designed to transmit large

amounts of power from point of
generation to the load area
 We classify transmission lines with
reference to:

 Voltage

 Distance

 A.C or DC
 The two general types of power
transmission are :

 Overhead lines

 Underground cables
 Conductors

 Ground wires

 Insulators

 Towers
Conductors are either solid round ,
stranded or bundled. Stranding
provides flexibility

The Ground wire acts as a shield to

protect the energized conductors from
lightning strokes

Insulators suspend the energized phase

conductors and insulate them from
grounded tower

The Tower support the conductors and is the

most visual part of a T.L
 The distribution system consists of a network
overhead lines and underground cables by
which the power is distributed to the
ultimate users of electricity that is the load
 The utilization of electric power is
collectively called load. This includes the
uses of electricity in homes, factories,
offices and for recreation, entertainment,
etc
 Generation voltages are in the range
of 12-35KV

 Transmission voltages are in the range

of 115-800 KV.

 Distribution voltages are in the range

of 4-35 KV.

 Loads operate at variety of voltages due

to their diverse nature
 POWER IS
TRANSMITTED
AT HIGH
VOLTAGE
RATHER HIGH
CURRENT
Power transmitted is directly
proportional to product of V and I
but losses are directly
proportional to I2 , therefore to
transmit power with minimum
loss we use high voltage
