area (city); recognized as a natural monopoly; states step
in to begin regulation By 1920¶s ± Large interstate holding companies control
most electricity systems
1935 ± Congress passes Public Utility Holding Company
Act to establish national regulation, breaking up large
interstate utilities
1935/6 ± Rural Electrification Act brought electricity to
rural areas

3. ELECTRICAL POWER SYSTEM
1) The generating station converts the energy of gas, oil, coal or
nuclear fuel to electric energy. The generator voltage is
around 15-25 kV (12.5KV at Mangla Dam Generation).
2) The main transformer increases the voltage to 230-765 kV.
(220-500KV in Pakistan) This reduces the current and losses.
3) The high voltage transmission line transports the energy fromthe generating station to the large loads, like towns. Example:
Energy generated at Palo Verde is transported by a 500 kV
line to the KYRENE substation at Phoenix.
8/3/2019 PDUlec1
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/pdulec1 11/53

4) The high voltage substation reduces the voltage to 500-220 /
(220-132) kV. The substation serves as a node point for
several lines.
5) The sub-transmission lines (132 kV-11 kV) connect the highvoltage substation to the local distribution station.
6) The Distribution lines 11 kV distribute the energy along
streets or underground. Each line supplies several step-down
transformers distributed along the line.
7) The distribution transformer reduces the voltage to 240 (1-
phase) or 415V (3-phase) which supplies the houses,
shopping centers, etc.

4. GENEARATION OF ELECTRICAL
ENERG Y
Electrical energy is generated at the power stations by
synchronous generators.
Typical generation voltages vary from 3.3 to 33 kV depending
upon the demand of the load.

4. GENEARATION OF ELECTRICAL ENERG Y
Large plants (more than 500 MVA) carry constant load (base load plant). Smaller plants loads are regulated but they operatecontinuously. Minimum down time is 20-35 hours. Dependingupon the situation of the fossil fuel availability, it can be used as
base load or peak load plant. But in Pakistan, it is used as peak load plant.

4.6 HYDEL POTENTIAL
Pakistan is a water rich country with a hydel potential of more
than 50,000 MW but unfortunately Pakistan¶s energy market
investment in hydel-power generation has been caught up in
confusion and paradoxes for more than decade and no significant
progress has been achieved so far.
To exploit Pakistan¶s hydel resource productively, huge
investments are necessary, which our economy cannot afford
except at the expense of social sector spending. Considering thelimitations and financial constraints of the public sector, the
Government is trying to facilitate private investors to promote
hydel power generation in the country

4.7 COAL POTENTIAL
Coal is global energy source in the true sense of the world. Coal
contributes approximately 38% to the total global primary energy
demand. Share of coal in total electricity production in different
countries are:
China = 81%
USA = 56 %
UK = 58 %
Unfortunately, the share of coal in total electricity production in
Pakistan is less than 1%.
8/3/2019 PDUlec1

2525
4.7 COAL POTENTIAL
Pakistan is a coal rich country, but unfortunately coal has not
been developed for power generation for more than three decades
due to lack of infrastructure, insufficient financing and absence
of modern coal mining expertise. The Government has now
determined to facilitate private investors to promote investmentin coal development and coal power generation.
Coal is a cheap indigenous resource and after the discovery of
175.5 billion tones of coal in Thar area of Sind, Pakistan¶s coal
power potential has increased manifold. It is anticipated that if properly exploited, Pakistan¶s coal resources may generate more
than 100,000 MW of electricity for the next 30 years. Pakistan is
now the 6th richest nation of the world in respect of coal
resources.

4.7.7 Future Coal Based Power Projects
The electricity demand in the country is increasing day by day.
The demand/supply projections indicates that power shortage will
appear from the year 2006, and will increase to 5500 MW in the
year 2010 if no measures are taken to bring in new capacity.
For Pakistan, the cornerstone of self-reliance in power sector
development is optimal utilization of hydel resources.
Hydropower is cheaper, eternally available source of energy and
a bounty of nature in contrast to environmentally hazardous and
non-renewable sources of energy. Pakistan is fortunate to be
endowed with economically exploitable hydropower potential of
more than 50,000 MW.

4.7 COAL POTENTIAL
4.7.7 Future Coal Based Power Projects
There are vast resources of coal in Pakistan as well and coal is a
cheap indigenous energy resource. Pakistan¶s coal resources may
generate more than 100,000 MW of electricity for the next 30
years.
The power requirements must be fulfilled by setting up new
projects based on indigenous fuel resources such as coal, hydel
power, and renewable energies.
Development & utilization of indigenous available potential fuel
resources will not only reduce the cost of electricity but also
strengthen the country¶s economy and save precious foreign
exchange.

5. POWER TRANSMISSION
The power stations are located quite far away from the load
centers. Transmission networks are required to:
Connect generating plants to consumption points
Create large power pools for increased reliability
8/3/2019 PDUlec1
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/pdulec1 36/53
3636
5. POWER TRANSMISSION
The primary transmission voltages are 110, 132, 220 or 500 kV
depending upon the distance and amount of power to be
transmitted. Secondary transmission is normally of the order of
66kV (obsolete in Pakistan now) and 132 kV.
High voltage AC transmission offers:
Higher transmission capacity / Km
Lower line-voltage drop / Km
Lower transmission losses / MW transfer Reduced right-of-way requirement / MW transfer
Lower capital and operating costs / MW transfer

energy to customers

Single phase and/or three-phase
The voltages for primary distribution are 11, 6.6 or 3.3 kV
depending upon the requirement of bulk consumers and for
secondary distribution the voltage level are 415/240V.

6. POWER DISTRIBUTION
Feeders are the conductors, which connect the substations to theareas fed by those substations. Generally feeders are not tapped
at any point for supply to the consumers, therefore, current
density remains constant throughout the length of the feeder.
Hence, it is designed mainly for constant current carrying
density.
A distribution system may further be classified into feeders,
distributors and service mains.

6. POWER DISTRIBUTION
Distributors are the conductors from which load is tapped at
different points for supply to the consumers. The current density
of a distributor does not remains constant throughout its length.Distributors are designed mainly for voltage drop in them. The
voltage drop in a distributor should not exceed +- 5%.
