- 1. Introduction to Electrical Power Systems By Prof. Yasmin Sayeed Anjuman College of Engg. & Tech.,Nagpur
- 2. The basic Need of life is Electricity All works is related to Electricity only Eg : Electric locomotives, Heating, Cooling, Fans, Blowers, Motors, Illumination are some applications that converts electrical energy into useful work.
- 3. Growth of any country is measured in terms of per Capital consumption of Electrical energy. India’s Consumption of Electricity is - 500 KWH /person per year Various Reasons for the Popularity of electricity are :- Clean environment for user Higher efficiency Better controllability Quick transfer of power from source to load Energy conservation is simple
- 4. Power Generation by different power plants are in India Thermal Power --- 1,00,000MW Hydro Power --- 65,000MW Nuclear Power --- 10,000MW Other sources --- 20,000MW Total Installed Capacity--- 1,95,000MW
- 5. Conventional & Non Conventional Sources Of Electrical Power Generation A. Conventional Sources Thermal (Coal) Nuclear Gas Water B. Non conventional Sources Wind Solar- PV Biomass

Transmission EHV Step down T/F 66 KV, 33 KV OR 11 KV Distribution HV Receiving Station To large Industries at 11 kv or 33 kv or 66 kv consumer of HV level Step Down T/F 440V (Utilization) Consumers of LV level Single Line Representation of Power System
- 7. Block Diagram Of Coal Fired Thermal Plant
- 9. Thermal Power Plant India has rich stock of coal as natural resource. Chemical energy stored in coal is transformed to electrical energy. Coal powder is fired in boiler that converts water into steam at high temp. and pressure. This steam is injected over the blades of steam turbine (prime mover) in controlled way and hence, rotor of 3 PH a.c. generator rotates.
- 10. Mechanical energy is converted into electrical energy at rated voltage(10-30KV). Used steam is cooled down to water using cooling towers and condensers. This preheated water is again injected in boiler tubes to convert back to steam. Flue gases are passed into atmosphere and fine particles of ash are collected through ESP. Ash(40% of coal weight) is collected and transported to AHP.
- 11. Advantages : Fuel used is cheaper Smaller space is required compared to hydro power plant Thermal plants can be placed near load centers unlike hydro and nuclear plants. Hence transmission of power losses can be minimized Thermal plants are able to respond to the load demand more effectively and supports the performance of the electrical grid
- 12. Demerits of Coal Thermal plant Pollution of the atmosphere Huge requirement of water Handling of coal and disposal of ash is quite difficult and requires large area Gestation period (period for commissioning of plant) takes long time Efficiency of thermal plant is quite less (30-35%) Operational cost of thermal plant is more costlier compared to hydro and nuclear plant
- 13. Nuclear Thermal Power Plant Huge amount of thermal energy is produced through Nuclear Fusion and Fission process of radioactive elements. This thermal energy is used to produce steam that can be utilized to rotate the turbine coupled to 3 PH a.c. generator. Fusion is the process in which two light weight nuclei combine to produce heavier nucleus, a neutron and lot of exothermic energy.
- 14. Block Schematic for Nuclear Power Plant
- 15. Advantages of Nuclear Power Generation Less quantity of fuel for generation of given amount of energy compared to other sources. High reliability, Efficient and less running cost.
- 16. Disadvantages of Nuclear Power Generation Fuel is expensive and not available in abundance everywhere. High capital cost. Maintenance cost is very high. Nuclear waste disposal is a great problem.
- 17. Block Schematic for Hydroelectric Power Plant
- 18. Hydro-electric power is generated by the flow of water through turbine, turning the blades of the turbine. A generator shaft connected to this turbine also rotates and hence generates electricity. The main components of a hydel power plant are: • 1. Dam/Reservoir/Large buffer tank • 2. Penstock • 3. Power House • a. Turbines • b. Generators • c. Step-up Transformers
- 19. Depending on the capacity, hydel power plants are divided into the following categories:
- 20. Hydel plants are normally not in a continuous operation mode and used for peak periods during the day like the wee hours and in the evening. Also, they are used when the continuously operating thermal plants go into overhauling. This is possible due to the less start up time required by hydro power stations which is normally in few minutes as compared to thermal power plant which is more than 8 hours. The command for starting or shutting is issued by from the related Load Dispatch Center (LDC) of that particular region
- 21. Hydel plants have an efficiency of 75%. The power delivered is given by the following expression: Power delivered = 7*H*dQ/dt Kilo watts, Where, H = Head in meters dQ/dt = Rate of discharge in m3 /s.
- 22. Once a dam is constructed, electricity can be produced at a constant rate If electricity is not needed, the sluice gates can be shut, stopping electricity generation The build up of water in the lake means that energy can be stored until needed, when the water is released to produce electricity. The lake's water can be used for irrigation purposes. Hydropower is fueled by water, so it's a clean fuel source. Hydropower doesn't pollute the air like power plants that burn fossil fuels, such as coal, oil or natural gas. Advantages of Hydro Power Generation
- 23. Dams are extremely expensive to build and must be built to a very high standard. People living in villages and towns that are in the valley to be flooded, must move out. Hydro power plants can be impacted by drought. When water is not available, the hydro power plants can't produce electricity. Disadvantages of Hydro Power Plant

- 25. Wind Generator
- 26. Solar Energy
- 27. Solar Water Heating : Solar energy can be used to heat water. A solar water heater works a lot like solar space heating. A solar collector is mounted on the roof where it can capture sunlight. Applications
- 28. After initial investment, all the electricity produced is free. Incentives and rebates from government and utility companies offset the initial investment. Clean, renewable energy source. No transmission costs for stand alone systems. Virtually no maintenance and no recurring costs Ideal for remote locations that cannot be tied to the grid Advantages of Solar Energy Systems
- 29. High initial cost to purchase solar panel system A relatively large area is required to install a solar system The highest efficiency is dependent on full sun exposure No electricity can be produced at night, and reduced production on cloudy/rainy days Solar Energy Disadvantages
