CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION
Malaysia is one of the competitive countries in the Asian region with vast areas and
opportunities to be explore in term of economics and development. In the sector of
entertainment and theme park we are fall behind the other countries like Singapore
(Universal Studio) or Japan (Tokyo Disneyland).

These theme park attract millions of tourist and people from all over the world internally or
externally from their country. Which to be translated to millions of Dollars in profit. As one
of the rising tiger of Asian, we have come up with a plan to establish a Theme Park that
could even further help with our economy with the encouraging growth of the stock market
and external or internal investor to support with the Malaysia Foreign Investor Act.

With estimated about 50 acres of land will be used to develop the area for the theme park. In
directly this will create a job opportunity for the surrounding local community exist in that
area as well create an opportunity to the Malaysian graduate from over a bunch of major
background from science and engineering way up to finance and art students graduate. In
coherently, both party the government and also the private’s party will gain massive
advantage career developments as well in term of skill workers once the project is
completed.

1.1) BACKGROUND
Based on last year report, Malaysia listed ninth in ranking of the most visited ASIAN
country in the world ranking. And we are also listed first as the Muslim travel destination in
the world outperformed the United Arab Emirates (UAE). These matter if translated into
figure of income would be equivalent to US $18,323 million dollar in revenue. It shows that
Malaysia capable of generating more incomes in tourism sector as competitive market and
promising growth with just a bit more of a tweak in the providing a more interesting
platform and reason for tourist to come and visit this country.

Malaysia is the country that surrounded by other near Asian country (Singapore, Thailand,
Indonesia and Philippine) that are accessible through land, water or air transportation with a
cheap and reasonable travel fees which gives us more advantage. Referring with all of this
basis it is wise to said that by proposing a new theme park could attract more attention of the
potential tourist. The concept is “What makes Malaysia Great” it is a fun but also an
educational experiences theme park as well.

It will be located in Sepang provided with 50 acres of land consist of hotel, theme park and
Solar farm. The theme park will have dry and wet entertainment park as well structural forest
recreational park. It will also feature one of the fastest Roller coasters that inspired by the
AMG Petronas Formula one car with the speed with more than 200 MPH (miles per hour).
The theme park will also equip with solar farm as well as other renewable energy option to
make one of the highest energy efficiency theme parks building. It is a unique concept and
one of its own kind of a project.

Global primary energy consumption is expected to rise by 1.6 % per annum and 45% for the
next 21 years. By realizing this fact, Malaysia have forecast that by year 2020 the load
demand would be around 18,947 MW and by 2030 it will reach up to 23,092 MW. By
supporting the global idea of reducing power demand. We have embraced the idea of
supporting the Low Energy Office (LEO) and Nearly Zero Energy Building (NZEB)
implemented it on the theme park concept. Upon completion it is expected to save more than
5% electricity demand compare to other theme park equivalent its size with the help
renewable technology that implemented rather than the conventional theme park electricity
demand.

CHAPTER 2: ELECTRICAL POWER DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM

2.1) Estimate of Power Demand


The basis for planning and sizing power distribution is knowing the equipment to be
connected and the resulting total power demand. Besides the power demand of large
machinery (motors, pumps, etc.), the demand of individual functional areas (office, parking,
shop, restaurant) must be ascertained. For theme park power usage estimated at 400 000
kWh per month. This is average power usage for theme park compare to Universal Studio or
Disneyland theme park used much higher than average rating power usage.

2.2) Operating Voltages in Supply and Distribution Grids


Different voltages are used to fulfil the different tasks of electric power supply and
distribution. According to international rules, there are initially two voltage groups:
● Low voltage (LV): up to and including 1,000 V AC (or 1,500 V DC)
● High voltage (HV): above 1 kV AC (or 1.5 kV DC)
Most electrical equipment used in theme park such as roller coaster, 3 phase motor, water
pump, lighting street light, generator, and etc. High voltage is used not only to transmit
electrical energy over very large distances, but also finely branched, for regional distribution
to the load centres. Different voltage levels are common for transmission and regional
distribution because the tasks and requirements for switching devices and switchgear are
very different.

2.3) Type of Power Supply


Electrical energy can be fed into the grid in different ways, determined by its primary
function. For normal power supply (NPS):
● Direct connection to the low-voltage grid: 400 / 230 V
● Transfer from the medium-voltage grid (max. 52 kV) via public or in-house
substations
For the emergency standby power system (ESPS), power sources are selected based on
regulations and as a function of the permissible interruption time:
● Generators for general standby operation and / or safety power supply (SPS)
● Solar farm supply
● Uninterruptible power systems
8|Page
2.4) Location of Power Supply
The location for power supply distribution will be at Pencawang Masuk Utama (PMU) TNB
Sepang, Selangor. It within the range district of Sepang. Transmission Main Intake is the
interconnection point of 132kV or 275kV to the distribution network. The standard
transmission capacity and voltage transformation provided at the PMU are as follows: -
132/ 33kV, 2x 90MVA
» 132/ 22kV, 2x 60MVA
» 132/ 11kV, 2x 30MVA

CHAPTER 3: PLANNING OF MEDIUM VOLTAGE GRID
3.1) Components for the Configuration of Medium-Voltage Grids
In order to be able to fulfil the required tasks at all times, it may be necessary to plan the
supply of the power consumers via one or more medium-voltage main stations that serve as
substations of the grid operators. Depending on the amount of power required, these main
stations can become a main substation from high voltage (HV) to medium voltage (MV).
Because of the cost benefits of purchasing power from the high-voltage level, supply from a
separate main substation or high-voltage transformer should typically be taken into
consideration for a power requirement as of 20 MW. The following must be considered with
regard to the components and configuration of medium-voltage grids:
A) Main Substation
B) Structure of the medium voltage grid
C) Switchgear and Cable Connection
D) Power Generating Plant

3.2) Power System Protection Equipment


The power system protection devices must detect a short circuit in the power system as
quickly as possible and perform a selective tripping operation. The network components and
the loads should only be subject to short-circuit currents and voltage dips for as short a time
as possible. When the switch is tripped by a protection device, either all loads should
continue to be supplied (if an instantaneous or immediate reserve is available), or as few
loads as possible disconnected, whereby they are immediately supplied again after the fault
has been located and corrected (if there is only a changeover connection as power reserve).
I. SPURS CONNECTION
II. DOUBLE SPUR CONNECTION
III. CABLE DIFFERENTIAL PROTECTION
IV. BUS BAR PROTECTION

10 | P a g e
CHAPTER 4: QUALITY OF SUPPLY
4.1) Protection against Lightning Current and Overvoltage
Overvoltage considerably damage electric and electronic appliances. This includes even
small voltage peaks on the supply line. This can be seen from the damage caused to lines,
circuit boards, or switchgear. Such damage can be prevented with suitable protection
measures against surge currents and overvoltage.

Overvoltage are caused by lightning discharge (LEMP – lightning electromagnetic pulse),


switching operations (SEMP – switching electromagnetic pulse), and electrostatic discharge
(ESD). They occur in a fraction of a second only. Therefore, they are also called transient
voltages. They have very short rise times of a few microseconds (μs) before they drop again
relatively slowly over a period of up to several 100 μs.

The property to be protected is subdivided into a (or several) lightning protection zone(s)
(LPZ) (Figure 3.1). For each LPZ, the geometrical borders, relevant characteristics, lightning
threat data, and kinds of damage to be considered are defined. Starting from the unprotected
state of the property, the assumed risk is reduced by taking further protection measures until
only an acceptable residual risk remains. The standard considers not only protection
measures for installations with the persons, electrical and electronic systems located therein,
but also for supply lines.

Figure 2: Lightning Protection

11 | P a g e
CHAPTER 5: PROTECTION DEVICES FOR LOW VOLTAGE
DISTRIBUTION

5.1) Circuit Breaker with Protection Function


Circuit-breakers mainly serve for overload and short-circuit protection and belong to the
category of low-voltage switching devices. In order to increase the degree of protection
further, circuit-breakers can also be equipped with additional releases, for example for
disconnecting upon under voltage, or with supplementary modules for detecting fault /
residual currents.

5.2) Switchgear Assemblies


Switchgear assemblies are series-connected switching and protection devices which perform
specific tasks for protecting a system component; the first device (relative to the flow of
power) provides the short-circuit protection.

5.3) Switchgear Assemblies with Thermistor Motor Protection Devices


Overload relays and releases cease to provide reliable overload protection when it is no
longer possible to establish the winding temperature from the motor current. This is the case
with:
● High switching frequency
● Irregular, intermittent duty
● Restricted cooling
● High ambient temperature

5.4) Protection of Low Voltage Capacitors


Capacitor units must be suitable for continuous operation with a current whose r.m.s. value
does not exceed 1.3 times the current which flows with a sinusoidal rated voltage and
frequency. Owing to this reserve (considering capacity tolerances which amount to 1.5 times
the rated capacity, the maximum permissible current can increase to 1.15 times the rated
current), no overload protection is provided for capacitor units in the majority of cases.

12 | P a g e
CHAPTER 6: MEDIUM VOLTAGE SWITCHING DEVICES AND
SWITCHGEAR

6.1) Medium Voltage Switchgear


Generally, a switchgear substation shall provide a high level of safety so that both operator
protection and fault-free network operation is ensured. It must meet the requirement of touch
protection and exclude the possibility of Maloperation. If a fault occurs nevertheless, its
impact on the fault location should be limited and not entail personal injury. When planning
switchgear, functions and influencing factors must be matched and an economically efficient
solution must be found among the offerings of manufacturers. For this there is no simple
recipe with an unambiguous solution because:
● The tasks of a switchgear substation can vary greatly
● Many influencing factors are interdependent
● The same influencing factors and requirements can be weighted differently by
different manufacturers

6.2) Medium Voltage Switching Device


Switching devices encompasses devices for closing (making) or opening (breaking) circuits.
The following loads can occur during making and breaking:
● No-load switching
● Switching of operating currents
● Switching of short-circuit currents

Selection criteria can be:


● Operational switching capacity
● Fault current switching capacity
● Switching frequency

13 | P a g e
CHAPTER 7: TRANSFORMER
Transformers are an essential component for power transmission and distribution. Their
ratings originate from their area of application, their construction, the nominal power and the
transformation ratio. Transformer types range from generator transformers to distribution
transformers.
Series of standards describes power transformers with the exception of the following
transformers:
● Rating < 1kVA for single-phase transformers
● Rating < 5 kVA for three-phase transformers
● Transformer without a winding with a rated voltage > 1 kV
● Measuring transducers
● Transformers for static inverters
● Vehicle transformers

In addition to this, distribution transformers up to 36 kV are distinguished as follows:


● Three-phase dry-type distribution transformers (called GEAFOL transformers in the
following) with natural cooling and two windings ranging from 100 kVA to 3,150
kVA three-phase.
Oil-filled three-phase distribution transformers (called oil-immersed transformers in the
following) with natural cooling and two windings ranging from 50 kVA to 2,500 kVA three-
phase (833 kVA single-phase).

14 | P a g e
CHAPTER 8: LOW VOLTAGE SWITCHGEAR AND POWER
DISTRIBUTION

8.1) Parameter of Low Voltage Switchgear


Low-voltage switchgear1) and distribution boards form the link between the equipment for
the generation (generators), transmission (cables, overhead lines) and transformation
(transformers) of electrical energy on the one hand and the consumers, e.g. motors, solenoid
valves, devices for heating, lighting, air conditioning, and the information technology on the
other hand. For alternating voltage, the rated voltage is 1,000 V max., for direct voltage it is
1,500 V max.

8.2) Motor Control Centre


If motor drives are available, low-voltage switchgear installations are used as motor control
centres (MCC). The MCC panels are available in fixed-mounted or withdrawable-unit design
and equipped with a door-locking main switch and motor starter combination. Each main
switch has motor switching capacity (6 to 8 times the rated current Ir of the motor) and
disconnecting capacity so that opening the panel door in front of the withdrawable unit is
only possible after switch-off.

15 | P a g e
CHAPTER 9: LOW VOLTAGE PROTECTION AND SWITCHGEAR
DEVICES
When low-voltage power system protection is parameterized and coordinated, the fast and
reliable detection of fault types and fault locations as well as a selective isolation of the
faulted grid sections and installation parts from the interconnected grid are predominant
aspects. For this reason, low-voltage protection and switching devices must fulfil the
following functions:
● Overcurrent protection
* Short-circuit protection
* Overload protection
● Over temperature protection

Device selection must correspond to the widely varying protection tasks the devices have to
fulfil, such as cable and line protection, personal safety, fire protection, lightning current and
overvoltage protection, as well as equipment and system protection:
● Circuit-breakers: protect systems, motors, generators, and transformers against
overload and short circuit in the event of a fault. They are also used as incoming and
outgoing feeders in distribution boards as well as main switch and EMERGENCY
OFF switch in combination with lockable rotary operating mechanisms.
● Residual current devices and arc-fault detection units are used for personal safety and
fire protection.
● Miniature circuit-breakers and fuses are mainly used as cable and line protection.
Operator safety and mounting safety are the fundamental prerequisites for their use.
Fitting a residual current unit additionally allows the fault-current protection function
to be integrated.
● Disconnectors permit the safe isolation of downstream installation parts and
equipment. They are used as EMERGENY OFF and repair switches in distribution
boards, for example. Therefore, personal safety is the predominant aspect. In the
'open' position, they meet the requirements defined for the disconnect function.

16 | P a g e
CHAPTER 10: SUPPLY USING RENEWABLE ENERGY AND
GENERATORS

10.1) Siestorage Energy Storage System


Electric power generation based on renewable energies is a key element for restructuring a
strongly fuel-oriented energy business towards more sustainability. Besides water power,
wind and solar energy play the crucial part in this context. The use of renewables on a large
scale, however, leads to new challenges for grid stability: Producers of wind and solar energy
are usually not capable of providing short-circuit power, which is a measure for grid stability.
When energy generated from distributed sources is fed into the grid, the energy flow may
sometimes be reversed. This can result in damage on equipment and power outages in
distribution grids not designed for this situation. Power generation from renewable sources
naturally varies to a great extent. This quite often causes imbalances between generation and
load, which impairs the stability of the grid. Operators of distribution grids are increasingly
faced with the question, how a sufficient amount of control power can be provided to ensure
a constantly high quality of power supply.

10.2) Standby Power Generating Set


An emergency standby power system (ESPS) supplies electricity in case of an outage of the
public supply. It may be required in order to:
● Fulfil statutory regulations for installations for gatherings of people, hospitals, or
similar buildings.
● Fulfil official or statutory regulations for the operation of high-rise buildings, offices,
workplaces, large garages or similar buildings.
● Ensure operation of safety-relevant systems such as sprinkler systems, smoke
evacuation systems, control and monitoring systems, or similar systems.
● Ensure continuous operation of IT systems
● Cover peak loads or to complement the power supply from the normal grid.

17 | P a g e
CHAPTER 11: RENEWABLE ENERGY
The renewable energy sources such as wind, solar, biomass, geothermal, and tidal are
believed to tackle the dependency to fossil fuels in this century. Whereas, the theme parks
consume large amount of power and energy to operate in daily basis, thus a suitable
renewable energy source can be installed in designing this theme park. Although as per
research, the renewable energy source that we generate could not support the total power
consumption of the theme park, at least we can able to take up to 5~6% of the total power
consumption of the theme park.

11.1) Solar Energy


In the design of our theme park, we decided to use solar energy where solar energy is one of
the renewable energy sources that is derived from the sun through the form of solar
radiation. There are two types of solar energy, Photovoltaic (PV) and Thermal. Here we
choose to use PV technology because PV conversion is the direct conversion of sunlight into
electricity. The PV system has no moving parts that gives long time services and minimum
maintenance. PV elements are simple in design and their important feature is construction as
stand-alone systems to produce output from micro power to mega power which depends on
the sizing of the construction.

Solar energy is obviously environmentally advantageous relative to any other energy sources
and does not deplete natural resources, no greenhouse gas emission or generates liquid or
solid waste products. The tropical climate of Malaysia is undeniably suitable for the
development of solar energy because of the abundant sunlight with the average irradiance of
1643 kWh/m² per year where the average sun hours is more than 10 hours. Solar energy is
one of the most potential energy sources in Malaysia.

11.1.1 Components of Solar Energy System


There are four main components to construct a solar energy conversion system which are
Solar Panel, Batteries, Charge Controller and Inverter.

❖ Solar Panel
A solar panel is the very start point of the whole process. It looks like large dish
which is installed in place exposed to the direct sunlight. It contains arrays of
photovoltaic cells which work in union to absorb sun light. The sunlight is
scientifically tamed as the Photons. These photons are absorbed by the panel and are

18 | P a g e
stored in the form of solar electricity. As an average, these panels can store up to 12
Volts of DC Voltage.
The solar panel also contains some amount of silicon. When sun rays hit the surface
of the panels, it is been converted to solar electricity but if it is used for constructive
purpose, it needs to have a positive charge and the silicon is responsible in providing
that.
❖ Batteries
The energy that produced by the panels need to be stored to be used in a later time.
Thus, these batteries will act as a storage to store energy. These batteries are
standalone like car batteries and can store the 12 Volts of DC Voltage produced by
the panel.
❖ Charging Controller
This device is used to control the charging process of the battery. This will prevent
the batteries from overcharging and undercharging at the same time which will cause
battery damage. This device will be installed in between the line connecting the
panels and batteries.
❖ Inverter
Inverter will convert the DC supply into AC which then will be used by the theme
park power consumption.

11.1.2 Ten Acres (about 4 hectares) of Photovoltaic Farm


Taking an average figure of 150 Watts per square metre (W/m²), approximately 5MW of
power can be generated from PV panel area of about 33 500 square metres. Allowing 20%
extra space for accessibility, this increases to about 40 000 square metres, or 10 acres (4
hectares).
According to the US National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL), in 2015, total cost
for per Watt is about 1.71 USD. So 5MW PV system will cost about 8~9 million USD. This
total cost includes, solar modules, inverters, racking, balance of system components, labor,
and developer overheads. As cost are still falling this cost may be less. Hence, this total cost
is excluding the cost of transmission infrastructure to connect the grid.

CHAPTER 12: THEME PARK MONITORING AND
COMMUNICATION SYSTEM

12.1) Wi-Fi Accessibility and Mobile Application


Nowadays people cannot live without having a Wi-Fi in their daily life and many public
places has Wi-Fi especially in recreation parks, malls and commercial building. So, it is
essential for a theme park having a free Wi-Fi accessibility for visitor. Besides that, many
companies have started implementing the concept of Internet of Things into their business
because it will reduce the interaction between human and electronic devices. Moreover, we
can introduce a theme park mobile application on IOS and Android platform where we can
update information such as how long the queue for the ride, showtime etc. Below is an
example of mobile application introduced by Disney.

Figure 3: My Disney Experience mobile app.

12.2) Wi-Fi coverage

To cover wider range of the theme park we need many access points which the important key
in the theme park. Because with many access points we can cover wider coverage. For every
250 people in the parks, it is suggested to install one access point. The access point should be
place on higher vantage point to cover wider range and focus on busy area like cafe and
waiting area.

20 | P a g e
12.3) Network Architecture
To get the application running we need a dedicated server and connected to the Internet 24
hours so, the guest can access the mobile application uninterrupted. Below is the network
architecture that depicted how the network organized.

Figure 4: A simple network architecture

Based on the figure above, we have separated internet usage one for office use and the other
one for public usage. Then we have a dedicated server for our data storage. Besides that, we
have a cloud storage for the company administration usage and outside network usage for
people who access our mobile application or website. A couple of switches and routers can
be place in the office for only employees.

21 | P a g e
12.4) Mobile Application features
They are many features on the mobile application that can enhances the guest experiences.
One of the features is an interactive map with GPS-enabled that will assist guest to navigate
within the theme park. Besides that, it will also send a reminder and notification to the guest
so, they will always let the guest keep in touch with any news in the theme park.

12.5) Communication system for park employees
12.5.1 Two-way radio communication
The most ideal communication for park employees is two-way radio communication or
walkie talkie. Why radio? Why not through mobile network or any other medium because to
provide a secure and safe environment for both guest and employees. They are many reasons
why two-way radio communication remains crucial for logistic. First, it is very simple and
not hard to use. Next, it has a long-life span battery. Besides that, it will ensure the success of
operations and events. Lastly, it can cover wider coverage and reduce time to engage a
communication between the employees as opposite to mobile networks where we must wait
for a while before we can engage a conversation.

12.5.2 Control Center


Furthermore, we can create a control center in the theme park. Where all communication is
integrated in the computer. The control center will act as a hub or bridges between many
departments. With the control center present it will be organised and easy to monitor the
situation. This will improve the communication between all employees in all department
because it is more organised and efficient. Besides, not only communication that can be
integrated into the command center. We can also monitor and control rides in the theme park,
the power level consumption, surveillances etc. Below is a of diagram that depicted how
Control Center act as a hub between all departments.

12.6) Communication system for controlling rides and equipment


12.6.1 Control Systems
The key that differentiate theme parks that stand out from other show entertainment
business. Animatronics is one of the points of interest when making a theme park that draws
all crowds. It is important to have our own proprietary systems for show control.

It can be divided into two parts. One part synchronizes the elements of the show which
activate lighting effects, music, props, animation events and many more. Besides that, it can
also synchronize with the audio and video in the show. The other part provide oversight for
the system and monitor event. There are two controllers, one is called 1 st type Supervisors
and the other one is 2nd type is called Show Controllers.

Figure 6: Control System

Based on the block diagram above, the Supervisor will receive error or status messages from
the many types of equipment such as Show Control unit. The unit will send synchronized
show related commands many devices. Same device will also control audio/video, figures,
props and lightings. Not every units for supervisor functions and show control require same
systems to run. Besides that, many systems are capable running both different applications
simultaneously.

12.6.2 Networks
Networks has been used in many major theme parks and it doesn’t require Ethernet. The
degree of maintenance given to the rides and attractions is one of the major qualities of a
theme park. Maintaining equipment to its top-notch performance need good monitoring, a
fault monitoring system is one of the key elements of good system design. Simple Network
Management Protocol (SNMP) is a public protocol and it is often used for large theme park
installations. The network origin is based the IT world, where the daunting problem of
monitoring equipment places all over locations across a network that required a basic
solution. SNMP is not a real-time method for monitoring and control based on its design but
for supervisory-type controls and system monitoring, SNMP will suffice.

CHAPTER 14: ENVIRONMENTAL, SOCIAL AND CULTURAL


CONSIDERATION
Although a solar power farm is proved to be environment friendly and sustainable in terms
of development, there are several other factors that should be considered to reduce the
negative impacts it has on both the environment and society. Thus, the socio-economic and
environmental issues of the implementation and operation of the solar farm must be
assessed.

Solar farm requires a large piece of land to be built on, depending on the type of solar panels
and other technology used. This system can have a negative impact on the wildlife habitat in
the region. Deforestation for construction of the power plant may have long-term effects on
the habitat for native plants and animals in the selected region.

In the aspect of social and cultural values, building solar farm can reduce the cost of energy
production using diesel and coal. The society will learn more about green initiatives to help
save the environment. In another point of view, using renewable energy to take up to 5% of
total power consumption of the theme park can be an attraction point to the public to visit us
and explore more about renewable energy usage.

In a nutshell, solar farm is a renewable source of energy that is sustainable and


environmentally friendly. Solar power plants also have extremely low operating costs, since
their source of input is sunlight, which is free.

CHAPTER 16: CONCLUSION
Thought out the case and feasibility study that carried out it is believe that the theme park
would be a great success if given an opportunity. It would be further enhancing the Malaysia
tourism and be more competitive in point of attraction from foreign country out of Malaysia
based on the slogan “Malaysia truly Asia”. The concept generation are meet with the
statement and requirement as stated by the client. With its unique design and concept which
combine the idea of educational theme park with biodiversity of modern renewable
technology nature and habitat preservation. It believes that the project could be completed in
time after the ground-breaking ceremony in just merely 144 weeks. As conclusion this
project would deliver a great impact in power management and hybrid renewable energy
system as the theme park built will be among the best power efficiency theme park in the
world.
