 4b. POWER TRANSMISSION
Transmission networks are needed to :
1. Connect generating plants to consumption points
2. Create large power pools for increased reliability

High voltage AC transmission offers:

1. Higher transmission capacity / Km
2. Lower line-voltage drop / Km
3. Lower transmission losses / MW transfer
4. Reduced right-of-way requirement / MW transfer
5. Lower capital and operating costs / MW transfer
 4b. POWER TRANSMISSION
Power Transmission Equipment:
1. Transformers
◦ Step-up transformers
◦ Voltage Regulators
◦ Phase Shifters
◦ Step-down Transformers

2. Transmission Lines & Cables

3. Circuit Breakers & Disconnects
4. Shunt & Series Reactors & Capacitors
5. Static VAR Compensators

 4c. POWER DISTRIBUTION
Receives electrical energy from the HV/MV levels at bulk power delivery
points
Supplies energy to customers:
1. At standard voltage levels
2. Single phase and/or three-phase
Is made up of the following main equipment:
1. Distribution transformers (DXF)
2. Feeder sections (including underground cables)
3. Switches, fuses, reclosures
4. Automatic load transfers
5. Etc.

Role of Power System Engineers:
Planning
1. how much electricity to generate
2. where, when and using what fuel
For planning, improvement and expansion of a power system, needs:
1. Load flow studies
2. Short circuit studies
3. Stability studies
4. Economic load dispatch
5. Load frequency control

TRANSMISSION
Transmission network of TNB comprise of 132 kV, 275 kV and 500 kV
system known as the National Grid.
The system spans the whole of Peninsular Malaysia, connecting power
stations owned by TNB and IPPs to the customers.
NATIONAL GRID
The National Grid is interconnected to Thailand’s transmission system
operated by Electricity Generating Authority of Thailand (EGAT) in the
North via a HVDC interconnection with a transmission capacity of 300 MW
and a 132 kV HVAC overhead line with maximum transmission capacity of
80 MW.
In the South, the National Grid is connected to Singapore’s transmission
system at Senoko via two 230 kV submarine cables with a firm transmission
capacity of 200 MW.
