1 Power Generation
Power system
It consists of all most all electrical equipment and they are placed at different locations depends on requirement and all of them working together for the purpose of supplying electrical energy to consumer on economical basis.
Main components are
✓ Generation
✓ Transmission
✓ Distribution
Advantages of Electrical energy
✓ Efficiency is more
✓ Reliability is high
✓ Economical
✓ Easy control
✓ No atmospheric pollution
Types of Generation
✓ Conventional type
✓ Non-conventional type
Conventional type
Thermal
Hydal
steam
Nuclear
Diesel
Gas
Etc
✓ Bulk power generation in terms of MW & kV
✓ Generate High voltages
✓ Installation cost is more and running cost is less
✓Synchronous generators are used (Constant speed). Ex.: Alternators
✓Transmission of power for long distances and then connected to distribution system
Non-conventional type
Solar
wind
tidal
Biomass
Geothermal
Etc
✓ Generation in terms of kW & Volts
✓ Generate Low voltages
✓ Installation cost is less and running cost is more
✓Asynchronous generators are used (variable speed). Ex. Induction generators
✓ No question of transmission of power and only connected to distribution of power
