 1.1 THE FEATURES OF THE
POWER SYSTEM
1.1.1 The power generation
 The power plant produces electricity
 A power plant can be of several types depending
mainly on the type of fuel used:
 Thermal power plant
 Hydro electric plant
 Solar, wind … power plant

 1.1 THE FEATURES OF THE
POWER SYSTEM
1.1.2 The transmission - distribution process
 The purpose of the electric transmission system is
the interconnection of the electric-energy-producing
power plants or generating stations with the loads
 The transmission network that in turn serves any
number of distribution substations
 A typical distribution substation will serve from 1 to as
many as 10 feeder circuits.
 A typical feeder circuit may serve numerous loads of all
types
