Generation, Transmission

and Distribution of Energy

Recall:
•What is the definition of magnetism?

- Magnetism refers to physical phenomena

arising from the force between magnets,
objects that produce fields that attract or
repel other objects.
Recall:
•What is the definition of magnets?

•- Magnets are materials that can attract

materials due to its intrinsic property.
Recall:
•What are the properties of magnets?

•It has polarity-the north pole and the south

pole
•Magnets can attract ferromagnetic
materials
•The like poles repel and unlike poles attract.
Recall:
•What are the properties of magnets?

•The magnets have two poles – the North-

seeking poles and South-seeking pole.
Moreover, if we suspend the magnet freely, it
will align itself with the north and south
directions .
•North and South poles exist independently.

Mess.
Instruction: Arrange the jumbled letters
based on the given definition.

1. A device that increases or decreases the

voltage of an electric current.

Transformer
• Transformer is a device
that increases or decreases
the voltage of an electric
current.
2. Any system that is used to
generate mechanical or
electrical power that can be
utilized to perform work.
OWREPLNAPT
Powerplant
• Power plant is any system that
is used to generate mechanical
or electrical power that can
utilized to perform work.
3. Unit for electrical potential .

Voltage

•Voltage is the unit for

electrical power.
4. A conductor/s designed to carry
electricity or an electrical signal
over a large distance with
minimum losses and distortion.

Transmission line is a conductor/s

designed to carry electricity or an
electrical signal over a large distance
with minimum losses and distortion.
5. A line or system for
distributing power from
transmission system to a
consumer.

belong
Mechanics:

1. Arrange the pictures according to their

sequence. Paste the pictures in the cartolina.
2. Do it for 3 minutes.
3. After 3 minutes the presenter shall present
your output.
- Electrical energy is one of the most
important things that we need especially
nowadays that our technology is
constantly improving and most of the
improvements need electricity.
What do you think is happening on the power
plant?
- Electrical energy is generated in the power plant

From the power plant, what do you think will happen

next?

- The electrical energy passes to the transmission

substation that steps up its voltage by using step up
transformer.
The voltage is raised at a range of 138,000 –
765, 000 volts.

What will happen then?

- Electrical energy is carried or made to travel on the

transmission lines
This transmission lines operate at high
voltage, send out large amounts of
electrical power and extend other
considerable distances.
Where can we see these transmission lines
class?
- Along highways and fields.
It will then pass another substation in which
the voltage will be reduced through the use
of step-down transformer ma’am to 34,
500- 138, 000 volts.

A distribution substation further step down

the voltage to 2,400- 19, 920 volts.
Then what happens next?
- The electrical energy is ready to be
carried along the distribution lines that
can be found in our local communities
for distribution.
Here in Puerto Princesa City, what is in
charge with electrical distribution
throughout our community?

- PALECO
PALECO –
Palawan Electric Cooperative
Before it finally enters our home a step-
down transformer that are located at
the poles reduces the electricity into
what range?
- 220 -250 volts
That is the standard alternating current
voltage in Philippines. This voltage
powers most of the electrical
appliances we have at homes.
In some other countries their standard
voltage is 110-120 voltage that’s why if
we buy appliances abroad, we also
need to?
- Buy transformer for it to operate here
in the Philippines
What are the two types of transformer?
- Step up transformer and step-down
transformer sir. Step up transformer
used to increase the voltage of
electrical energy while step down
transformer used to reduce the voltage
the electrical energy.
How electricity is transmitted and distributed?

- Power plant generates electricity then step-up

transformer step up voltage for transmission then
transmission lines carry electricity over long
distance the step-down transformers step down
voltage for distribution then distribution lines carry
electricity to neighborhood then transformer on
the pole’s steps down the voltage before it enters
our home.
Who can relate it to the transmission and
distribution of electricity?

- If there is no transformer or the power plant, the

electricity cannot travel and it is impossible to have
electrical energy in our homes. If some roles in
transmission and distribution of electricity are
undone the electricity will not be transmitted and
distributed.
Just like transmission and distribution of
electricity class everything has a
beginning and everything may come to an
end, that’s why we need to value things
we have now so that we may not regret if
we lose them.
