Chapter 1. Project Background

The PELCO II is serving seven (7) municipalities namely Mabalacat (City), Guagua, Lubao, Porac, Sta. Rita,
Sasmuan, and Bacolor and has also acquired services to the resettlement areas in Sta. Lucia, Magalang;
Model Community, Porac; Palmayo, Floridablanca; and Mawacat, Floridablanca, which were designed and
funded by the national government as relocation of the victims of the Mt. Pinatubo eruption in the 1990’s [1].
Based on the recent studies of Philippines Statistics Authority (PSA) the population of Pampanga in the 2015
census was 2,198,110 people [2], Pampanga is also considered as top developing province in the Philippines
this means that commercial and industrial structure also increases. With this large amount of occupancy in
the province of Pampanga, No wonder that rotational brownouts will occur in the province. Last summer
2016, areas being serviced by the Pampanga Electric Cooperative (PELCO II) experienced 12 hours of
blackout form 6 a.m to 6 p.m due to lack of electricity supply [3]. This problem motivates the proponents to do
this design project. The proposed electrical design will have its scheme focused on the solving the problem
of electricity dilemmas in the future and designing a renewable source of electricity for Guagua Substation
which is solar energy. By this project, problem will be solved and can sustain the energy needed of the
province.
Project Objectives
Generally, this project aims to solve the additional power demand needed by the PELCO II Guagua
Substation for the year 2030. Specifically, it aims to:
 To design a 14 MW solar power system that can generate the required power in supplying the deficit
power demand of the PELCO II Guagua Substation at year 2030.
 To design a transmission lines that have an electrical power transfer efficiency of 85%, a voltage
regulation with a maximum of 5% according to the standard of Philippine Grid and Distribution Code
and have at least 70% of string efficiency.
 To design a substation to upgrade the capacity.

The Client
The client of the design project is PELCO II which is located in Guagua, Pampanga.
Project Scope and Limitations
The project study will evaluate the process of power generation by means of solar power system. It shall find
out the most suitable system to be used that will meet the demand of the community. And lastly, it shall create
a design that is in accordance with the stated constraints. The project will also be focusing on improving the
capacity of the Guagua substation. The project includes the design of a solar power system within the vicinity
of Pampanga.
The scope of the project covers the execution of power provisions in accordance to the latest edition of the
Philippine Electrical Code (PEC) and other applicable international standards used in practice of electrical
design. An energy management system integrating natural resources such as solar energy will be added to
supplement the proposed new electrical system.

The limitations of the proposed project in accordance with the stated problem and the study of the following:
The proposed project focuses on the design of most efficient scheme of transmission line. The design project
does not include the distribution load of the area. The proposed design project does not focus on structural,
architectural and aesthetical design of the solar p civil engineering works especially and other co-engineering
disciplines. Mechanical works will be within the limitations of the proposed design project.
Project Development
The flow chart shows the step-by-step flow of the project processes and how the design will come into its
finalization. This also serves as the outline of the progress and a checklist for the important aspects to be
considered for the design project.
Four different designs are to be created in developing a solution to the problem. These designs should meet
the objectives in order to continue with the next step. The design options include the design of solar power
system generation to transmission.
When all four of the designs meet the objective the calculation for trade-offs is next. Trade-offs will act as a
judge in order to know what design is going to be used for the project. The value that will be computed is
based on the constraints considered for each design. The design that will be chosen after conducting the
trade-offs will be considered as the final design or solution to the problem.

Chapter 2. Design Inputs

Pampanga is a developing province and with its current progress, demand for electricity continuously grows.
The load growth is statistically forecasted, resulting in a substantial increase in its peak demand. Due to the
increase of load demand, the said area is now facing energy dilemmas. Renewable energy plants are more
expensive yet the most ideal solution to this kind of predicament.
In this chapter, the data collected were presented. Previous load consumption of the municipality of Guagua
were presented from year 2014 to 2017, with these load forecasting can be done. The existing substation in
Guagua has a rated 10 MVA and 20 MVA capacity and the load forecasted for the year 2030 is approximately
13,929 kVA and 23,980 KW.

In figure 2.3 it only shows the elevation of the transmission towers to be used and how high the elevation of
transmission line. The uphill distance is 7.2 km and the downhill distance is 7.1 km. The total distance of the
transmissions lines is 14.3 km.
Wind Speed
This factor has a major contribution in transmission system in terms of sag and stresses. When the wind
speed increases the wind pressure also increases which gives an impact on the transmission system. The
proportionality of the speed of the wind and sag and stresses is direct.

Figure 2.4 Average Speed in Specified Area


Figure 2-6. Shows the different wind speed in different areas which shows above. The yellow zone states
that the average speed is up to 270 KPH and the green zone states that the average wind speed is up to
240 KPH and the blue zone states that the average wind speed is up to 160 KPH respectively.

Design Criteria and Constraints

Table 2. 5 Design Criteria and Constraints

Design Criteria Constraint

Construction cost P1 billion – P 1.5 billion construction cost (ESTIMATED AS OF NOW)

Life Span 20 – 25 years can be functional

Efficiency At least 20-50 % of over-all efficiency

Reliability Greater than 50% but not less than 80%

Economic
The first constraint to be considered is the cost of the project. In considering economic constraints,
proponents estimate P1 billion – P 1.5 billion construction cost. Economic constraints are a type of external
constraint. An external constraint is some factor in the power plant’s external environment that is usually out
of the its control. An economic constraint involves external economic factors that affect a power plant and
are usually outside of its control.

Sustainability
Another constraint that should be considered is the sustainability of the whole design, how can it be beneficial
to the client and how long can the materials be of usage. The project be functional within 20 – 25 years.
Another thing under sustainability is the maintenance work of the longevity of system designs’ effectiveness.

Efficiency
Efficiency is the comparison of how much power is actually produced or performed with what can be achieved
with the same consumption of resources. It is an important factor in determination of productivity. Energy
efficiency has become a very important issue to reduce the consumption of resources on the Earth. The
project will have at least 20-50 % of over-all efficiency. Now power and energy consumption has become key

14
concerns, especially huge number of servers are deployed in large cluster configurations that are in need of
electricity.

Reliability
Reliability of a power system is generally designated as a measure of the ability of the system to provide
customers with adequate supply. In order to make a reliability analysis of a power system, it is necessary to
have data on reliability of each component electrical equipment used in the system. The project must attain
reliability greater than 50% but not less than 80%. Reliability calculation for the proposed solar power system
must follow IEEE standard 493 (IEEE Recommended Practice for the Design of Reliable Industrial and
Commercial Power Systems)

Formula for reliability calculation:


Number of Failure
λ(Failure rate per year)=
Total Operating Time
t
F(t)= ∫ f(x)dx
0
t
𝑡
F(t)= ∫ λe-xλ dx = [−𝑒 −𝑡𝜆 ]0 = 1 − 𝑒 −𝑡𝜆
0

But, F(t)+R(t)=1

Therefore, R(t)=e-tλ

Systems

Chapter 3 Project Design Methodology
Methodology
The design project will provide a solution to the additional power needed to cater for power demand of
PELCO II by providing options or tradeoffs of four different types of transmission lines that will be used to
transmit bulk power harvested from solar power system to supply for the required power demand. Several
data were gathered to create the load characteristics of the system in formulating the needed power to supply
for the load demand before going through the different proposed power systems.
The design of the solar power system for an existing electrical grid requires backward computation
starting from the load to the proposed additional generating unit.

Figure 3.1 Project Design Hierarchy

16
The Figure 3.1 shows the flow of the Project Design. Load forecasting estimates the future power demand
which can be based on several factors including time, weather, customer’s classes, historical load, economic
and demographic data, etc.
The second stage of the project is the design of the step-down transmission substation. Step-down
transmission substation connects the transmission line to the distribution system and transforms the
transmission voltage to a suitable distribution voltage, 13.8 kV. The third stage of the project is the design of
transmission line connecting the step-up, and the step-down transmission substation. The fourth stage of the
project is the design of the step-up transmission substation. A step-up transmission substation obtains the
power from the generation side and a large power transformer is utilized to increase the voltage before
sending to long transmission lines. The fifth stage of the project is the design of solar power system that can
supply the forecasted deficiency in the year 2030.

Transmission line Conductor Sizing


An amperage of 313.7773 A is calculated from receiving end substation and ASCR Pigeon Conductor has
an ampacity rating of 315 Amperes, thus it is practically optional to utilize in this design.

Conductor Weight Calculation


The characteristics below are the specifications for ACSR Pigeon Conductor
Note: Specifications are based from the South wire manufacturer for the selected conductor (See Appendix
A)
 Ampacity Rating: 315 Amperes
 Weight of conductor: 230 lbm/1000 ft = 3.3566 N/m
 Rated Strength: 6620 lbm = 29,447.2271 N
 For wind loading, the maximum recorded weather condition on Pampanga will be used for safety
purposes. Max Wind Speed for Pampanga = 67 m/s

The wind pressure can be approximated by:


1
Pair = (Density of air)(Wind speed)2 (Shape factor)
2
 The density of air is about 1.25 kg/m3.
 The shape factor (drag coefficient) depends on the shape of the body. It has order of magnitude 1
and is dimension less.

For tower span, L would be 360 meters since the adopted range of span of 69 kV Transmission lines is 350
m – 360 m. But for some reason a span of 360m cannot be adopted at all times due to the road orientation.

Transmission line Conductor Sizing


An amperage of 313.7773 A is calculated from receiving end substation and ASCR Pigeon Conductor has
an ampacity rating of 315 Amperes, thus it is practically optional to utilize in this design.

Conductor Weight Calculation


The characteristics below are the specifications for ACSR Pigeon Conductor
Note: Specifications are based from the South wire manufacturer for the selected conductor (See Appendix
A)
 Ampacity Rating: 315 Amperes
 Weight of conductor: 230 lbm/1000 ft = 3.3566 N/m
 Rated Strength: 6620 lbm = 29,447.2271 N
 For wind loading, the maximum recorded weather condition on Pampanga will be used for safety
purposes. Max Wind Speed for Pampanga = 67 m/s

The wind pressure can be approximated by:


1
Pair = (Density of air)(Wind speed)2 (Shape factor)
2
 The density of air is about 1.25 kg/m3.
 The shape factor (drag coefficient) depends on the shape of the body. It has order of magnitude 1
and is dimension less.

For the nominal voltage of 69 kV, the number of suspended insulators is 6 discs. In a suspended insulator,
the line conductor is secured at the bottom disc and the top disc is connected to the cross arm of the tower.
The type of insulators we will use is suspension type insulator for higher voltage rating and of the flexibility of
the line and the mechanical stresses are reduced.

To improve string efficiency, the method that we will use is grading the insulators.
Grading the insulators is making the potential difference the same to improve the string efficiency to its
highest peak by adding earth capacitance that is adjusted to different sized insulators.

Transmission line Conductor Sizing
An amperage of 313.7773 A is calculated from receiving end substation and ASCR Pigeon Conductor has
an ampacity rating of 315 Amperes, thus it is practically optional to utilize in this design.

Conductor Weight Calculation


The characteristics below are the specifications for ACSR Pigeon Conductor
Note: Specifications are based from the South wire manufacturer for the selected conductor (See Appendix
A)
 Ampacity Rating: 315 Amperes
 Weight of conductor: 230 lbm/1000 ft = 3.3566 N/m
 Rated Strength: 6620 lbm = 29,447.2271 N
 For wind loading, the maximum recorded weather condition on Pampanga will be used for safety
purposes. Max Wind Speed for Pampanga = 67 m/s

The wind pressure can be approximated by:


1
Pair = (Density of air)(Wind speed)2 (Shape factor)
2
 The density of air is about 1.25 kg/m3.
 The shape factor (drag coefficient) depends on the shape of the body. It has order of magnitude 1
and is dimension less.

Pair = (1.25 3 ) (6.7 ) (1)=28.0563 2

Wwind =Pair (d+2t)

Wwind = Wind pressure per m2 of projected area × projected area per meter length
N N
Wwind =Pair (d+2t)= (28.0563 2
) (0.01887m+2(0))=0.5294

m m m

For tower span, L would be 360 meters since the adopted range of span of 69 kV Transmission lines is 350
m – 360 m. But for some reason a span of 360m cannot be adopted at all times due to the road orientation.

Figure 21 69 kV Insulator String

For the nominal voltage of 69 kV, the number of suspended insulators is 6 discs. In a suspended insulator,
the line conductor is secured at the bottom disc and the top disc is connected to the cross arm of the tower.
The type of insulators we will use is suspension type insulator for higher voltage rating and of the flexibility of
the line and the mechanical stresses are reduced.

To improve string efficiency, the method that we will use is grading the insulators.
Grading the insulators is making the potential difference the same to improve the string efficiency to its
highest peak by adding earth capacitance that is adjusted to different sized insulators.

ASCR Sparrow Conductor has an ampacity rating of 180 Amperes, thus it is practically optional to utilize in
this design.
Conductor Weight Calculation
The characteristics below are the specifications for ACSR Sparrow Conductor
Note: Specifications are based from the TransPowr ACSR Bare Overhead Conductor for the selected
conductor (See Appendix A)
 Ampacity Rating: 315 Amperes
 Weight of conductor: 91 lbm/1000 ft = 1.3280 N/m
 Rated Strength: 3180 lbm = 14145.34 N
 For wind loading, the maximum recorded weather condition on Pampanga will be used for safety
purposes. Max Wind Speed for Pampanga = 67 m/s

The wind pressure can be approximated by:


1
Pair = (Density of air)(Wind speed)2 (Shape factor)
2
 The density of air is about 1.25 kg/m3.

168
 The shape factor (drag coefficient) depends on the shape of the body. It has order of magnitude 1
and is dimension less.

Transmission line Conductor Sizing
An amperage of 313.7773 A is calculated from receiving end substation but double circuit transmission line
1
utilizes 2 conductors per phase, hence 2 (313.7773 A)=156.8887 A is the amperage of each conductor.
ASCR Sparrow Conductor has an ampacity rating of 180 Amperes, thus it is practically optional to utilize in
this design.

Conductor Weight Calculation


The characteristics below are the specifications for ACSR Sparrow Conductor
Note: Specifications are based from the TransPowr ACSR Bare Overhead Conductor for the selected
conductor (See Appendix A)
 Ampacity Rating: 315 Amperes
 Weight of conductor: 91 lbm/1000 ft = 1.3280 N/m
 Rated Strength: 3180 lbm = 14145.34 N
 For wind loading, the maximum recorded weather condition on Pampanga will be used for safety
purposes. Max Wind Speed for Pampanga = 67 m/s

The wind pressure can be approximated by:


1
Pair = (Density of air)(Wind speed)2 (Shape factor)
2
 The density of air is about 1.25 kg/m3.

208
 The shape factor (drag coefficient) depends on the shape of the body. It has order of magnitude 1
and is dimension less.
1 kg m 2 N
Pair = (1.25 3 ) (6.7 ) (1)=28.0563 2
2 m s m

Wwind =Pair (d+2t)


Wwind = Wind pressure per m2 of projected area × projected area per meter length
N N
Wwind =Pair (d+2t)= (28.0563 2

For tower span, L would be 360 meters since the adopted range of span of 69 kV Transmission lines is 350

Figure 3.50 69 kV Insulator String

For the nominal voltage of 69 kV, the number of suspended insulators is 6 discs. In a suspended insulator,
the line conductor is secured at the bottom disc and the top disc is connected to the cross arm of the tower.
The type of insulators we will use is suspension type insulator for higher voltage rating and of the flexibility of
the line and the mechanical stresses are reduced.

Transmission line Conductor Sizing


An amperage of 313.7773 A is calculated from receiving end substation but double circuit transmission line
1
utilizes 2 conductors per phase, hence 2 (313.7773 A)=156.8887 A is the amperage of each conductor.
ASCR Sparrow Conductor has an ampacity rating of 180 Amperes, thus it is practically optional to utilize in
this design.

Conductor Weight Calculation


The characteristics below are the specifications for ACSR Sparrow Conductor
Note: Specifications are based from the TransPowr ACSR Bare Overhead Conductor for the selected
conductor (See Appendix A)
 Ampacity Rating: 315 Amperes
 Weight of conductor: 91 lbm/1000 ft = 1.3280 N/m
 Rated Strength: 3180 lbm = 14145.34 N
 For wind loading, the maximum recorded weather condition on Pampanga will be used for safety
purposes. Max Wind Speed for Pampanga = 67 m/s

The wind pressure can be approximated by:


1
Pair = (Density of air)(Wind speed)2 (Shape factor)
2
 The density of air is about 1.25 kg/m3.

250
 The shape factor (drag coefficient) depends on the shape of the body. It has order of magnitude 1
and is dimension less.

Wwind =Pair (d+2t)= (28.0563 2

Design Option 3: Underground Circuit Transmission Line via Route 1

Figure 3.68 Transmission of Power from Porac to Guagua via Route Option 1

Based on figure 3.10, the total length of the conductor to be used in this underground transmission line from
Porac to Guagua has a total length of 14043.82 m.

Underground Transmission Line Conductor Sizing


An amperage of 313.7773 A is calculated from receiving end substation and the system will use an XLPE
insulated unarmored PE sheathed Cable – single core CU/XLPE/SCW/PE cable.
The insulation resistance of the cable can be computed using the formula:
ρ r1
R= ln
2ᴨL r2
Where:
Ρ = specific resistivity of XLPE insulator (1e13 Ω-km)
IEEE Standard 43-2000,
L = length of cable in km recommended practice for testing
r2 = internal sheath of radius in cm insulation resistance, pages 1-3,
2000
r1 = conductor radius in cm
Based on the IEEE Standard 43-2000, to compute for the insulation resistance of the XLPE cable, use the
formula above for a recommended practice for testing of insulation resistance.

R= ln = ln =8599.410508 MΩ
2ᴨL r2 2ᴨ*174.596 km 1.02 cm
The insulation resistance of the XLPE cable to be used in this submarine transmission line is 8599.410508
mega ohms.
RESISTANCE COMPUTATION
The system will use an XLPE insulated unarmored PE sheathed Cable – single core CU/XLPE/SCW/PE
cable. It has a total ac resistance of 0.069 Ω/km at 90ºC.
The total length of the cable to be used for the submarine cable will be 174.596 km
The resistance in the cable can be computed using the formula:
IEC 60228, Conductors of
0.069 Ω Insulated Cables, 2004
Resistance= *14.04382 km= 0.96902Ω
km

INDUCTANCE COMPUTATION
Based on the specifications, the reactance of the XLPE cable has a value of 0.101 Ω/km for a 60 Hz
transmission line.
To solve for the inductive reactance of the transmission line at 60 Hz, use the formula:
Ω μH

Design Option 3: Underground Circuit Transmission Line via Route 3

Figure 3.74 Transmission of Power from Arayat to Guagua via Route Option 3
Based on figure 3. X, the total length of the conductor to be used in this underground transmission line from
Porac to Guagua has a total length of 32045.37m.

Underground Transmission Line Conductor Sizing


An amperage of 313.7773 A is calculated from receiving end substation and the system will use an XLPE
insulated unarmored PE sheathed Cable – single core CU/XLPE/SCW/PE cable.
The insulation resistance of the cable can be computed using the formula:
ρ r1
R= ln
2ᴨL r2
Where:

343
Ρ = specific resistivity of XLPE insulator (1e13 Ω-km)
IEEE Standard 43-2000,
L = length of cable in km recommended practice for testing
r2 = internal sheath of radius in cm insulation resistance, pages 1-3,
2000
r1 = conductor radius in cm
Based on the IEEE Standard 43-2000, to compute for the insulation resistance of the XLPE cable, use the
formula above for a recommended practice for testing of insulation resistance.

ρ r1 1x1013 Ω-km 1.6 cm+1.02 cm


R= ln = ln =8599.410508 MΩ
2ᴨL r2 2ᴨ*174.596 km 1.02 cm
The insulation resistance of the XLPE cable to be used in this submarine transmission line is 8599.410508
mega ohms.

RESISTANCE COMPUTATION
The system will use an XLPE insulated unarmored PE sheathed Cable – single core CU/XLPE/SCW/PE
cable. It has a total ac resistance of 0.069 Ω/km at 90ºC.
The total length of the cable to be used for the submarine cable will be 174.596 km
The resistance in the cable can be computed using the formula:
IEC 60228, Conductors of
0.069 Ω
Resistance= *32.04537 km= 2.2111Ω Insulated Cables, 2004
km

INDUCTANCE COMPUTATION
Based on the specifications, the reactance of the XLPE cable has a value of 0.101 Ω/km for a 60 Hz
transmission line.
To solve for the inductive reactance of the transmission line at 60 Hz, use the formula:
Ω μH

Main Results
Produced energy: 7624 MWh/year
Specific production: The produced energy divided by the Nominal power of the array.

375
This is an indicator of the potential of the system, taking into account irradiance conditions (orientation, site
location, meteorological conditions).
Specific Production= (Produced energy/Nominal Power of the array)
Specific Production=1896 kWh/kWp/year
Performance ratio: 85.59%
The yearly value can be an average like the temperature, or a sum, like the irradiation or energies. The
meaning of the different variables is the following:

Figure 3.86 Daily System Output Energy
The highest power generation achieved was 27000kWh/day in the month of September. With the recorded
insulation, average module temperature, plant efficiency of 6.10 kWh/m2/day, 27.070C, and 84.4 %
respectively.
The decline in the energy generation during the August and September period in Figure 3-5 was mainly due
to the higher plant downtime and more number of cloudy days during that period. The declination is clearly
visible in Figure 3-3 and Table 3-1.

378
Figure 3.87 Power vs. voltage
From the Figure 3.87, the maximum power reached at the incident radiation is about 1000W/m2, a voltage
34 V, and at cell temperature 25-45 C with module efficiency is 17.79%.

Figure 3.90 Efficiency Profile of Inverter

379
Figure 3.91 Efficiency vs. Cell Temperature

Figure 3.92 Efficiency vs Incident radiation

380
Figure 3.90 - 3.92 shows the variation in energy generation of solar modules with insolation and the effect of
effect of module temperature on their efficiency.
Energy generation shows direct dependent on the incident solar irradiation and reaches the maximum during
peak insolation hours, the efficiency of the modules decreases and reaches the minimum during peak hours,
the main reason is to increase in the module temperature. This negatively impacts the efficiency more during
that hours. Efficiency of the module decreases from 17.79% at 30 ˚C to 13.67% at 55 ˚C.
It also clear that the temperature of modules increases with the increase in the solar irradiation and reaches
the maximum during peak irradiation hours. in other side reduced conversion efficiency.

Figure 3.99 Characteristics of PV Module


It is clear from the Figure 3-99, that as the incident solar radiation (INSOLATION) level increases, the
maximum current for a PV array also increases and has no significant effect on voltage when the temperature
remains constant. The graph of efficiency versus the incident solar radiation under varying temperature
condition is shown in Figure 3-9, which clearly demonstrates that as the temperature increases of PV module,
the efficiency decreases at specific radiation level.

Chapter 4 Constraints and Trade-offs and Standards

This Chapter will elaborate design criteria and constraints considered for the design project based
on the client requirement from previous chapters. Also, this chapter includes the trade-off analysis of each
design options using sensitivity analysis with pareto optimization being used to verify the result of the
sensitivity analysis in determining the best design for implementation, as well as standards used in the design
project.

Economic
The first constraint to be considered is the cost of the project. In considering economic constraints,
proponents estimate P1 billion – P 1.5 billion construction cost. Economic constraints are a type of external
constraint. An external constraint is some factor in the power plant’s external environment that is usually out
of the its control. An economic constraint involves external economic factors that affect a power plant and
are usually outside of its control.

Efficiency
Efficiency is the comparison of how much power is actually produced or performed with what can be achieved
with the same consumption of resources. It is an important factor in determination of productivity. Energy
efficiency has become a very important issue to reduce the consumption of resources on the Earth. The
project will have at least 20-50 % of over-all efficiency. Now power and energy consumption has become key
concerns, especially huge number of servers are deployed in large cluster configurations that are in need of
electricity.

Reliability
Reliability of a power system is generally designated as a measure of the ability of the system to provide
customers with adequate supply. In order to make a reliability analysis of a power system, it is necessary to
have data on reliability of each component electrical equipment used in the system. The project must attain
reliability greater than 50% but not less than 80%. Reliability calculation for the proposed solar power system
must follow IEEE standard 493 (IEEE Recommended Practice for the Design of Reliable Industrial and
Commercial Power Systems)

Formula for reliability calculation:


Number of Failure
λ(Failure rate per year)=
Total Operating Time
t
F(t)= ∫ f(x)dx
0
t
𝑡
F(t)= ∫ λe-xλ dx = [−𝑒 −𝑡𝜆 ]0 = 1 − 𝑒 −𝑡𝜆
0

But, F(t)+R(t)=1

Therefore, R(t)=e-tλ
Reference: IEEE Recommended Practice for the Design of Reliable Industrial and Commercial Power
Systems

382
Trade-off
A systematic calculation would be done by means of trade off method. This process which is based on
constraints would determine the best design. The constraint with highest total points in the process would be
the best design. Satisfying the tabulated criterion of the trade-off would be done using Kirkwood and Sarin
1980, Exponential Family Scoring Function which are an exponential scoring function (scale of 1-5, 5 being
the highest)

1. Evaluation of ranking for ability to satisfy criterion of materials:


High Preference:
v-Low
-
1-e ρ
Score = | High-Low |
-
1-e ρ

2. Kirkwood and Sarin 1980, Reversed Exponential Family Scoring Function


Low Preference:
High-v
-
1-e ρ
Score = | High-Low |
-
1-e ρ

Ranking Scale
For the ranking scale, Efficiency was given the highest weight thus this constraint has a criterion ranking of
5 because this will prove that the design project of the proponents will be going to be successful through
having an almost 100% efficiency. Meanwhile the other two constraints Economical and Reliability were given
a lower score of 4 and 3 compared to the first since these will just determine the manufacturing period with
a cheaper cost.

Transmission line Conductor Sizing


An amperage of 313.7773 A is calculated from receiving end substation and ASCR Pigeon Conductor has
an ampacity rating of 315 Amperes, thus it is practically optional to utilize in this design.

Conductor Weight Calculation


The characteristics below are the specifications for ACSR Pigeon Conductor
Note: Specifications are based from the South wire manufacturer for the selected conductor (See Appendix
A)
 Ampacity Rating: 315 Amperes
 Weight of conductor: 230 lbm/1000 ft = 3.3566 N/m
 Rated Strength: 6620 lbm = 29,447.2271 N
 For wind loading, the maximum recorded weather condition on Pampanga will be used for safety
purposes. Max Wind Speed for Pampanga = 67 m/s

The wind pressure can be approximated by:


1
Pair = (Density of air)(Wind speed)2 (Shape factor)
2
 The density of air is about 1.25 kg/m3.

417
 The shape factor (drag coefficient) depends on the shape of the body. It has order of magnitude 1
and is dimension less.
1 kg m 2 N
Pair = (1.25 3 ) (6.7 ) (1)=28.0563 2
2 m s m

Wwind =Pair (d+2t)


Wwind = Wind pressure per m2 of projected area × projected area per meter length
N N
Wwind =Pair (d+2t)= (28.0563 2
) (0.01887m+2(0))=0.5294
m m
t = 0, since the cable is bare conductor

N 2 N 2 N
W=√(WC )2 +(WWind )2 =√(3.3566 ) + (0.5294 ) =3.3981
m m m

For tower span, L would be 360 meters since the adopted range of span of 69 kV Transmission lines is 350
m – 360 m. But for some reason a span of 360m cannot be adopted at all times due to the road orientation.

the line conductor is secured at the bottom disc and the top disc is connected to the cross arm of the tower.
The type of insulators we will use is suspension type insulator for higher voltage rating and of the flexibility of

Main Results
Produced energy: 7624 MWh/year
Specific production: The produced energy divided by the Nominal power of the array.
This is an indicator of the potential of the system, taking into account irradiance conditions (orientation, site
location, meteorological conditions).
Specific Production= (Produced energy/Nominal Power of the array)

441
Specific Production=1896 kWh/kWp/year
Performance ratio: 85.59%
The yearly value can be an average like the temperature, or a sum, like the irradiation or energies. The
meaning of the different variables is the following:

The highest power generation achieved was 27000kWh/day in the month of September. With the recorded
insulation, average module temperature, plant efficiency of 6.10 kWh/m2/day, 27.070C, and 84.4 %
respectively.
The decline in the energy generation during the August and September period in Figure 3-5 was mainly due
to the higher plant downtime and more number of cloudy days during that period. The declination is clearly
visible in Figure 3-3 and Table 3-1.

Figure 5-29. Power vs. voltage

From the Figure 3-6, the maximum power reached at the incident radiation is about 1000W/m2, a voltage 34
V, and at cell temperature 25-45 C with module efficiency is 17.79%.

Figure 5-30. Efficiency Profile of Inverter

444
Figure 5-31 Efficiency vs. Cell Temperature

Figure 5-32. Efficiency vs Incident radiation

445
Figure 5-30 – 5-32 shows the variation in energy generation of solar modules with insolation and the effect
of effect of module temperature on their efficiency.
Energy generation shows direct dependent on the incident solar irradiation and reaches the maximum during
peak insolation hours, the efficiency of the modules decreases and reaches the minimum during peak hours,
the main reason is to increase in the module temperature. This negatively impacts the efficiency more during
that hours. Efficiency of the module decreases from 17.79% at 30 ˚C to 13.67% at 55 ˚C.
It also clear that the temperature of modules increases with the increase in the solar irradiation and reaches
the maximum during peak irradiation hours. in other side reduced conversion efficiency.

Figure 5-33. Characteristics of PV Module

It is clear from the Figure 3-10, that as the incident solar radiation (INSOLATION) level increases, the
maximum current for a PV array also increases and has no significant effect on voltage when the temperature
remains constant. The graph of efficiency versus the incident solar radiation under varying temperature
condition is shown in Figure 3-9, which clearly demonstrates that as the temperature increases of PV module,
the efficiency decreases at specific radiation level.

Protective Device Coordination of the Circuit Breakers for all Substation

Figure 5-11 shows the analysis regarding the protection and the proper coordination of it in the entire
system during the load condition (Protective Device Coordination)

Summary of Findings

A major consideration in the design of a distribution system is to ensure that it provides the required quality
of service to the various loads. This includes: serving each load under normal conditions, under abnormal
conditions and providing the desired protection to service and system apparatus so that interruptions of
service are minimized.

Under normal conditions, the important technical factors include voltage profile, losses, load flow, effects of
motor starting, service continuity and reliability. The prime considerations under faulted conditions are
apparatus protection, fault isolation service continuity and of course personnel safety.

During the system preliminary planning stage, before selection of the distribution apparatus, several
distribution systems should be analyzed and evaluated, including both economic and technical factors.
During this stage, if system size or complexity warrant, it may be appropriate to provide a thorough review of
each system under both normal and abnormal conditions.

This type of dynamic analysis is typically done using Computer Simulation Software. Selection of components
such as circuit breakers, cables, transformers, equipment motors and generators are entered into a power
flow one-line of the system. Changes to these variables, including the type of breaker as well as its trip unit
settings, the size and length of conductors, the hp of motors and kVA of transformers and generators, can
be adjusted to reflect the impact this will have on the short-circuit energy available at various points in the
power distribution system.

Short-circuit calculations define momentary and steady-state fault currents for specific points in the electrical
system. This information is used to select protective devices and to determine required equipment bus
bracing and withstand levels. These calculations are generated for both normal, emergency and alternative
system configurations.

Computer software programs can identify the fault current at any bus in the distribution system under any
number of scenarios of source and load combinations. It is often necessary to evaluate the distribution system
in all the possible operating states of sources and loads to understand available fault currents in all possible
states. The results of these calculations permit optimizing service to the loads while properly applying
distribution apparatus within their intended limits.

Conclusion

The client of the project design presented is the Pampanga Electric Cooperative II (PELCO II) located in
Guagua Pampanga. The purpose of the proposed design project is to evaluate the process of power
generation by means of solar power system. The created a design is in accordance with the stated
constraints. The project also improved the capacity of the Guagua substation.
The project is about designing a 14 MW Solar Power Plant and supplying the need of energy of Pampanga.
Based on parameters and data that was gathered in the process of designing and analyzing the out of the
project in designing Solar Power Plant, Geographical location is a big factor to consider. Since it is a solar
power plant, solar map or other weather monitoring system is required in order to validate whether the project
will be usable to the area. The load forecast should also be considered in order to attain the amount of power
plant output that the plant will supply to the area.
The project introduced four (3) system designs for Pampanga Electric Cooperative (PELCO II). The first
system is the design of Overhead Single Circuit Transmission (3) design options under it. The second system
is the design of Overhead Double Circuit Transmission (3) design options under it. The third system is the
design of Underground Circuit (3) design options under it. Each design has different distance, for Route 1
has 14.320 km from Magalang to Guagua, Route 2 has 21.1km from Angeles to Guagua and Route 3 has
31.1 km from Arayat to Guagua. Based on the data gathered in the process of designing transmission lines,
and considering the parameters like electrical power efficiency, voltage regulation and string efficiency, the
3 system design is compliance with the standard.
The proponents of the project considered four (3) design constraints in order to determine the best option
among the set designs. The proponents considered the following constraints of this project namely: (a)
Efficiency, (b) Reliability, and (c) Economical/Cost. These set of design constraints are what the proponents
taken into consideration for the trade-offs analysis. The over-all trade-offs shows that best design is Design
option 1 Route 1 has a distance of 14.320 km from Magalang to Guagua.

473
Recommendation

What played a crucial role of the accomplishment of the project is the use modern power system simulation
tool like the EDSA Paladin DesignBase. During the process of accomplishing the project design, the software
allowed the user to simulate and visualize all the components, processes, performance, and specifications
that made up the power system structure starting from the generating plants that provides a certain voltage
which are either stepped-down out or stepped-up using transformers and even up to the distribution systems
whose solitary function is to convey power to the consumers or the load side of the system which are linked
through transmission systems.
Another feature of the software which was noticeably helpful during the testing of the power system
constructed its advance power flow analysis feature which enables the user to simulate the system. The said
feature also checked whether there are errors existing and won’t let the system to converge until such errors
are eliminated. Furthermore, determining which components are subjected to underload condition or
overload condition was also made possible. This feature of the software makes it an invaluable tool when it
comes to AC load flow analysis. The fact that the software supports AC load flow makes it a necessary
modern engineering tool in the field of electrical design and power system reliability. The software easily
determines whether an underload component is present in the power system with its advance power flow
options. With that being said, changing existing components with the most appropriate components to be
used for the reliability and efficiency of the system can be done easily.
PVsyst software is a package for the study, sizing and data analysis of complete PV systems.It deals with
grid-connected, stand-alone, pumping and DC-grid (public transportation) PV systems, and includes
extensive meteo and PV systems components databases, as well as general solar energy tools.
In attaining the desired outcome the desired outcome of the project, the use of the EDSA Paladin DesignBase
software and PVsyst software played an important role with the various features it offers when it comes to
the simulation of power systems. The features offered of such comprehensive power systems engineering
modeling tool software proved that designing reliable electrical systems and analyzing it need not to be time
consuming and bulk calculation isn’t always required. The availability of such industry software paves way
for the insurance of the efficiency and reliability of an electrical system in a more convenient way. The user-
friendly environment of this modern industry software made the generation, interpretation and analysis of
data easier in a real time basis. This softwares is geared to the needs of architects, engineers, researchers.
It is also very helpful for educational training
