1、Unit One Electric Power System Text A Components of Power SystemsModem power systems are usually largescale,geographically distributed,and with hundreds to thousands of generators operating in parallel and synchronouslyThey may vary in size and structure from one to another, but they all have the sa
2、me basic characteristics:(1)Are comprised of threephase AC systems operating essentially at constant voltageGeneration and transmission facilities use threephase equipmentIndustrial loads are invariably three-phase;single-phase residential and commercial loads are distributed equally among the phase
3、s SO as to effectively form a balanced threephase system(2)Use synchronous machines for generation of electricityPrime movers convert the primary energy(fossil,nuclear, and hydraulic)to mechanical energy that is,in turn,converted to electrical energy by synchronous generators(3)Transmit power over s
4、ignificant distances to consumers spread over a wide areaThisrequires a transmission system comprising subsystems operating at different voltage levelsThe basic elements of a modem power system in USAare shown in Fig61Electric power is produced at generating stations(GS)and transmitted to consumers
5、through a complex network of individual components,including transmission lines,transformers,and switching devicesIt is common practice to classify the transmission network into the following subsystems:Transmission system;Subtransmission system;Distribution systemFig1 Basic elements of a power syst
6、emThe transmission system interconnects all major generating stations and main load centers inthe systemIt forms the backbone of the integrated power system and operates at the highestvoltage levels(typically,230 kV and above in USA )。The generator voltages are usually in therange of 11 to 35 kVThes
7、e are stepped up to the transmission voltage level,and power istransmitted to transmission substations where the voltages are stepped down to the subtransmission level(typically,69 to 1 38 kV)The generation and transmission subsystems are often referred to as the bulk power systemThe subtransmisson
8、system transmits power in small quantifies from the transmission substations to the distribution substationsLarge industrial customers are commonly supplied directly from the subtransmission systemIn some systems,there iS no clear demarcation between subtransmission and transmission circuitsAs the s
9、ystem expands and higher voltage levels become necessary for transmission,the older transmission lines are often relegated to subtransmission functionThe distribution system represents the final stage in the transfer of power to the individual customersThe primary distribution voltage is typically b
10、etween 40 kV and 345 kVSmallindustrial customers are supplied by primary feeders at this voltage levelThe secondary distribution feeders supply residential and commercial customers at 120240 VSmall generating plants located near the load are also connected to the subtransmission or distribution syst
11、em directlyInterconnections to neighboring power systems are usually formed at the transmission system levelThe overall system thus consists of multiple generating sources and several layers of transmission networksThis provides a hiigh degree of structural redundancy that enables the system to with
