Electric power transmission
Слайд 5
Electric power transmission a process in the delivery
of electricity to consumers is the bulk transfer of
electrical power. Typically, power transmission uses an electricity network connecting the power plant to multiple substations near a populated area.
Слайд 6
Electricity distribution is the delivery from the substation
to the consumers. Electric power transmission allows distant energy
sources (such as hydroelectric power plants) to be connected to consumers in population centers. Due to the large amount of power involved and to reduce losses, transmission normally takes place at high voltages (110 kV or above). Electricity is usually transmitted over long distance through overhead power transmission lines.
Слайд 7
Underground power transmission is used only in densely
populated areas because of its high cost of installation,
maintenance and difficulties in voltage management. Power can be routed from any power plant to any load center, through a variety of routes. Much analysis is done by transmission companies to determine the maximum reliable capacity of each line.
Слайд 8
AC power transmission is the transmission of electric
power by alternating current. Usually transmission lines use three
phase AC current. Single phase AC current is sometimes used in a railway electrification system.
AC power transmission
Слайд 9
Overhead conductors are not covered by insulation. The
conductor material is nearly always an aluminum alloy, made
into several strands and possibly reinforced with steel strands. Copper was sometimes used for overhead transmission but aluminum is lower in weight for equivalent performance, and much lower in cost.
Overhead transmission
Слайд 10
Overhead conductors are a commodity supplied by several
companies worldwide. Improved conductor material and shapes are regularly
used to allow increased capacity and modernize transmission circuits.
Слайд 11
Today, transmission-level voltages are usually considered to be
110 kV and above. Lower voltages such as 66
kV and 33 kV are usually considered sub-transmission voltages but are occasionally used on long lines with light loads.
Слайд 12
Overhead transmission lines are uninsulated wire, so design
of these lines requires minimum clearances to be observed
to maintain safety. During Voltages less than 33 kV are usually used for distribution. Voltages above 230 kV are considered extra high voltage and require different designs compared to equipment used at lower voltages.
Слайд 13
During adverse weather conditions of high wind and
low temperatures, overhead conductors can exhibit wind-induced oscillations which
can encroach on their designed clearances. Depending on the frequency and amplitude of oscillation, the motion can be termed gallop or flutter.
Слайд 15
Electric power can also be transmitted by underground
power cables instead of overhead power lines. This is
a more expensive option, as the life-cycle cost of an underground power cable is two to four times the cost of an overhead power line.
Underground transmission
Слайд 16
However, they can assist the transmission of power
across:
Densely populated urban areas
Areas where land is unavailable
or planning consent is difficult
Rivers and other natural obstacles
Land with environmental heritage
Areas of significant or prestigious infrastructural development
Land whose value must be maintained for future urban expansion and rural development.
Слайд 17
Compared to overhead lines, underground cables emit much
less powerful magnetic fields. (All conductors carrying current which
varies with respect to time generate magnetic fields.) Underground cables need a narrower strip of about 1- 10metres to install, whereas the lack of cable insulation requires an overhead line to be installed on a strip of about 20- 200metres wide to be kept permanently clear for safety, maintenance and repair. Those advantages can in some cases justify the higher investment cost.
Слайд 18
Engineers design transmission networks to transport the energy
as efficiently as feasible, while at the same time
taking into account economic factors, network safety and redundancy. These networks use components such as power lines, cables, circuit breakers, switches and transformers.
Bulk power transmission
Слайд 19
A transmission substation decreases the voltage of electricity
coming in allowing it to connect from long distance,
high voltage transmission, to local, lower voltage, distribution. It also reroutes power to other transmission lines that serve local markets.
Слайд 20
Transmission efficiency is improved by increasing the voltage
using a step-up transformer, which reduces the current in
the conductors, while keeping the power transmitted nearly equal to the power input. The reduced current flowing through the conductor reduces the losses in the conductor and since, according to Joule's Law, the losses are proportional to the square of the current, halving the current makes the transmission loss one quarter the original value.
Слайд 21
A transmission grid is a network of power
stations, transmission circuits, and substations. Energy is usually transmitted
within the grid with three-phase AC. DC systems require relatively costly conversion equipment which may be economically justified for particular projects. Single phase AC is used only for distribution to end users since it is not usable for large polyphase induction motors.
Слайд 22
In the 19th century two-phase transmission was used,
but required either three wires with unequal currents or
four wires. Higher order phase systems require more than three wires, but deliver marginal benefits.
Слайд 23
The capital cost of electric power stations is
so high, and electric demand is so variable, that
it is often cheaper to import some portion of the variable load than to generate it locally. Because of the economics of load balancing, transmission grids now span across countries and even large portions of continents. The web of interconnections between power producers and consumers ensures that power can flow even if a few links are inoperative.
Слайд 24
Long-distance transmission of electricity (thousands of miles) is
cheap and efficient, with costs of US$ 0.005 to
0.02 per kilowatt-hour. Thus distant suppliers can be cheaper than local sources.
Слайд 25
Multiple local sources (even if more expensive and
infrequently used) can make the transmission grid more fault
tolerant to weather and other disasters that can disconnect distant suppliers.
