Electrical Power Systems 

Brief Definition:-

“Power system deals with generation, transmission and distribution of electrical energy.  Almost all the equipment's like generators, transformers, synchronous motors, induction machines are involved in it.”

Generation:-

Electrical energy generated in two ways

i)                     Conventional Electrical power generation

ii)                   Non – Conventional Electrical power generation

Transmission:-

Generally the power generating stations are located at very far areas from populated areas. so we need a system which transfers power from there to domestic areas, that’s called transmission system.

In transmissions system we will come across equipment's like transformers, PT s, CT s, transmission conductors, etc

Distribution:-

Finally transmitted power will get at substations, from there we need to distribute the power to houses, industries, street lighting, etc., this system is called the distribution system.

In distribution systems we come across equipment's like distribution transformers, capacitor banks, feeders, distributors, etc.
