GENERATION, TRANSMISSION AND DISTRIBUTION

 Electric Energy Process is


o Generated at kV and stepped up
o Transmitted through AC or DC lines
o Stepped down and distributed at load centers.

Generation Transmission Distribution

 Its natural mode of synchronous operation knits


the system together.

1. Overview on the Power System Development in KoC

• Generation subsystems consists of generation plants and


generation substations.

• Transmission subsystems consists of transmission lines,


transmission switching stations and transmission substations
and subtransmission systems.

• Distribution subsystems consist of distribution substations,


primary distribution systems, distribution transformers and
secondary distribution systems.

13
1. Overview on the Power System Development in KoC

• Generation subsystems
– Generation Plants produce electrical energy from another form of
energy such as fossil fuels, nuclear fuels or hydropower. Typically, a
prime mover turns an alternator that generates voltage between
6kV and 30 kV.

– Generation Substations connect generation plants to transmission


lines through a step-up transformer that increases voltage to
transmission levels.

14
1. Overview on the Power System Development in KoC

• Transmission Subsystems

– Transmission Systems transport electricity over long distances from


generation substations to transmission or distribution substations.
Typical voltage levels include 69 kV, 115 kV, 138 kV, 161 kV, 230 kV
345 kV, 500kV, 765 kV and 1100kV.

– Transmission Switching Stations serve as nodes in the transmission


system that allow transmission line connections to be reconfigured.

– Transmission Substations are transmission switching stations with


transformers that step down voltage to subtransmission levels.

15
1. Overview on the Power System Development in KoC

• Transmission subsystems (cont.)

– Subtransmission Systems transport electricity from transmission


substations to distribution substations. Typical US voltage levels
include 34.5 kV, 46 kV, 69 kV, 115 kV, 138 kV, 161 kV and 230 kV.

16
• Distribution subsystems 1. Overview on the Power System Development in KoC

– Distribution Substations are nodes for terminating and


reconfiguring subtransmission lines plus transformers that step
down voltage to primary distribution levels.
– Primary Distribution Systems deliver electricity from distribution
substations to distribution transformers. Voltages range from 6 kV
to 35 kV.

17
1. Overview on the Power System Development in KoC
• Distribution subsystems (cont.)
– Distribution Transformers convert primary distribution voltages to
utilization voltages. Typical sizes range from 5 kVA to 3200 kVA.
– Secondary Distribution Systems deliver electricity from distribution
transformers to customer service entrances. Voltages are typically
120V/208V, 220/380V three phase or 230/400V with typical
frequency of 50Hz or 60Hz.

2. Overview on the Power Components

Real Power and Reactive power

 Apparent power S : S = U I*
 determines the current and thus heating and loading
 Real power, P
 can be transformed to other forms of energy
 Reactive power, Q
 increases the current and has an impact on voltages
 S = P + jQ

25
2. Overview on the Power Components

Reactive Power

• When there exists a 90 phase shift between


voltage and current p varies symmetrically
around 0.
→ all power is the reactive power

26

Power Factor, cos

• When cos=1, only real power is flowing

P
P  S cos 

• The angle  is also the phase shift between voltage and


current!

2. Overview on the Power Components

Compensation of reactive power

Effects: Considerations:
• increased real power flow • voltage level
with same heating effect • location
• unit size
• reduction of power and
• automation
energy losses
• lower voltage drop
• increased risk for resonance
• transients in switching
• indirect: tariff
