Know the Structural Components of the Power System

Image
How electricity reaches from power station to your residence? Have you ever pondered over the fact? One answer to all your concern is the power system. It is the network that consists of power generation, distribution, and transmission of energy. Several devices, like synchronous generator, motor, transformer, circuit breaker, conductor, etc., are an integral part of this network. It is a complex structure subdivided into the following sub-systems. For more details on it, read the following blog or view Power System Analysis and Design 6th Edition Solutions Manual. Structure of the Power System Generating Substation Generating station coverts natural fuels like coal, water (for hydroelectricity), nuclear and others into the electrical energy. The power generated under this station ranges between 11kV to 25kV, used for long-distance transmission. Its power plant is classified into three major types, i.e. thermal, hydropower, and nuclear power plant. The main components of generati...

Components of a Power System That Solutions Manual Explain

The power system is a network that comprises of generation, distribution, and transmission of electricity. They are mediators between the power supply and power stations in the city to deliver electricity. Various devices, like synchronous generators, motors, transformers, circuit breakers, conductors, etc., are responsible for carrying and transmitting electricity. The below content took the reference of Power System Analysis and Design 5th Edition Solutions Manual by CFS and penned down the power system components. Power System Components Synchronous Generators An asynchronous generator is an electric machine that converts mechanical energy into AC electrical power at a specific voltage and frequency. It comprises the synchronous motor, which runs at a constant speed called synchronous speed. It works on the principle of Faraday laws of electromagnetic induction (when electromotive force is induced in the armature coil if it is rotating in the uniform magnetic field). Hydro ge...
