Example of Transformer Sizing
An application has been made to the utility to connect a commercial
complex to the nearest distribution transformer. The distribution
transformer is rated 310 kVA and the current maximum demand on this
transformer is 250 kVA. The transformer is 20 years old and considering
hot summer, it is suggested not to load it beyond 90% capacity. The load of
the commercial complex are:
A gas station consisting of three unleaded petrol pumps, a diesel pump,
and a LNG pump. Each pump is rated at 5 hp and has an efficiency of 0.9. A
general purpose shop with installed load of 5 kW. A Fish and Chip shop
with a connected load of 4 kW. Six street lights each rated at 100 W. The
diversity factor of the pumps is 1.8. The demand factor of the general
purpose shop is estimated to be 0.7. The Fish and Chip shop has a demand
factor of 0.8. The diversity factor for the whole load is estimated to be 1.2.
Calculate the the coincident maximum demand of the whole complex. Is it
possible for this load to be connected to the existing distribution
transformer?

Load Forecasting
Introduction
Load forecasting plays an important role in power system
planning, operation and control
Forecasting means estimating active load at various load
buses ahead of actual load occurrence.
Planning and operational applications of load forecasting
requires a certain lead time also called forecasting
intervals.
A good forecast reflecting current and future trends,
tempered with good judgment, is the key to all planning,
indeed to financial success.

Load Forecasting
Forecasting Methodology
Forecasting techniques may be divided into three broad
classes. Techniques may be based on extrapolation or on
correlation or on a combination of both.
Extrapolation
Extrapolation techniques involve fitting trend curves to
basic historical data adjusted to reflect the growth trend
itself.
Correlation
Correlation techniques of forecasting relate system loads to
various demographic and economic factor.

it is necessary that an estimate of the rate at which those
needs will grow.

Growth Rates
Suppose a certain quantity M grows at a rate that is
proportional to the amount of M that is present.
It gives
Where a is the constant of proportionality, known as the
per-unit growth rate. The above equation may be written

Costumer Billing
Introduction
Customer billing is done by taking the difference in
readings of the meter at two successive times, usually at
an interval of 1 month.
The difference in readings indicates the amount of
electricity, in kilowatt hours, consumed by the customer
in that period.
The amount is multiplied by the appropriate rate or the
series of rates and the adjustment factor, and the bill is
sent to the customer.
