Basic Electrical Engineering: Srikanth Allamsetty Assistant Professor School of Electrical Engg

The document provides an introduction to basic electrical engineering. It discusses India's electrical energy scenario including total installed capacity, consumption patterns, and sources of energy generation. Thermal power makes up the largest portion at 56.2% of installed capacity and 75.9% of power generation. The document also outlines the key components of a power system layout from power stations to transmission lines, substations, distribution lines, and transformers.

Giga watt (GW) as of May 31, 2019
• India is the world's third largest producer and fourth largest
consumer of electricity.
• Electric energy consumption in agriculture was recorded highest
(17.89%) in 2015-16 among all countries.
• The per capita electricity consumption is low compared to many
countries despite cheaper electricity tariff in India.

POWER SYSTEM LAYOUT

• The power station


• A set of transformers to raise the
generated power to the high
voltages used on the transmission
lines
• The transmission lines
• The substations at which the
power is stepped down to the
voltage on the distribution lines
• The distribution lines
• The transformers that lower the
distribution voltage to the level
used by the consumer's
equipment.
