 Course Objective
 Main objective is to provide an overview of interconnected
power system.
 This course has been designed to introduce the
importance of analyzing various aspects of power system.
 It covers power flow studies and fault analysis of both
symmetrical and unsymmetrical faults in power networks.
 This forms the basis for power system operation, control
and protection.

 Introduction to Power System
 Every power system has three major components
 Generation: source of power, ideally with a specified voltage and
frequency
 Load: consumes power, ideally with a constant resistive value
 Transmission System: transmits power, ideally as a perfect
conductor
 Complications:
 No ideal voltage sources exist
 Loads are seldom constant
 Transmission system has resistance, inductance, capacitance and flow
limitations.
 Simple system has no redundancy so power system will not work if any
component fails.
 Introduction to Power System
 A power System is a largest and most complex man made
system
 Electricity is mainly a means of energy transportation.
 Power System provides a vital service to society.
 Electrical power system is somewhat like air we breath.
We think about it only when it is missing.
 Examples of Power System
 Electric utility can range from quite small, such as an island, to one
covering half the continent.
 Airplanes and Spaceships: reduction in weight is primary consideration,
frequency is 400 Hz.
 Ships and submarines
 Automobiles: dc with 12 volts standard
 Battery operated portable system.
 Evolution of Power System
 Electrical Technology was founded on the remarkable
discovery by Faraday that resulted in the largest and most
complex engineering achievement of man: the electric power
system.
 Indeed, life without electricity is now unimaginable. Electric
power systems form the basic infrastructure of a country.
 First complete DC power system built by Edison (1882):
Incandescent lamps supplied by steam driven DC generators.
 Development of transformers led to supersession of DC
systems by AC systems.
 Nikola Tesla - polyphase induction motors: led to
development of AC 3 phase systems.
 Interconnection of systems led to standardization of
frequency and voltage.
 Evolution of Power System
 Development of thyristors led to high voltage DC
transmission (HVDC).
 Several new developments : Gas turbines, static excitation
systems, fast acting circuit breakers, microprocessor
based relaying, use of communication technologies etc.
converting the grids to smart.
 Present day power systems are characterised by:
 AC generation
 AC transmission
 3 phase AC utilization
• Single phase loads distributed equally on three phases.
