INTRODUCTION TO POWER SYSTEMS
 It is a system which can deals with the principles of power generation,
transmission and distribution in order to supply electrical energy to
various consumers on economical basis.

 Economical basis: The cost of electrical energy should be minimum.

 A Power system can be broadly classified as Generation, Transmission,


Distribution, and Utilization of electrical power.

Different stages of a Power System


Course Objectives

•To introduce the working of various types of power plants and layout of
substations.

•To familiarize the concepts of corona, insulators and various tariff


methods

classification, pumped storage power plants.
UNIT - III: Nuclear Power Stations
 Working principle, Nuclear fuels.
 Nuclear reactor Components: Moderators, Control roads, Reflectors and
Coolants.

UNIT - IV: Air insulated substations
 Equipments used in substations, Classification of substations: -
Indoor & Outdoor
 substations: Single line diagram of substation. Bus bar arrangements
and their classification.
Insulators
The overhead line conductors should be
supported on the poles or towers in
such a way that currents from
conductors do not flow to earth
through supports i.e., line conductors
must be properly insulated from
supports.

This is achieved by securing line


conductors to supports with the help of
insulators.

The insulators provide necessary


insulation between line conductors and
supports and thus prevent any leakage
current from conductors to earth.
UNIT - V : Corona and Tariff Methods
 Corona - Description of the phenomenon, factors affecting corona, critical voltages
and power loss.
 Tariff Methods: Simple rate, Flat Rate, Block-Rate, two-part, three –part, and power
factor tariff methods.

Corona
•Corona is a luminous discharge due to ionization of the air surrounding
a conductor around which exists a voltage gradient exceeding a certain
critical value.

•The phenomenon of violet glow, hissing noise and production of ozone


gas in an overhead transmission line is known as corona.
Tariff and Methods of Tariff
 The rate at which electrical energy is supplied to a
consumer is known as tariff.

 Cost Per Unit = (Total Fixed Cost + Total Variable Cost) /


Total Number of the Units Produced

 Simple rate,
 Flat Rate,
 Block-Rate,
 two-part,
 three –part,
 power factor tariff methods.
