Introduction

We need energy in many areas of human endeavor such as: moving people and goods around - transporttransport producing and processing of food - agricultureagriculture manufacturing of useful materials and artifacts -

industryindustry Powering communication gadgets and equipment, and

going about other commercial activities - commercecommerce maintaining physical comfort and convenience in our

homes - householdshouseholds

Introduction - Transport

Transportation is the movement of people people and goodsand goods from one place to another.

Transportation depends on continuous supply of energyenergy.

Automobiles are powered by gasolinegasoline (petrol), aeroplanes by jet fuel (kerosene), and trucks, trains, and ships by diesel oil.

Conveyers, cranes, robots and pipelines use motors and pumps, which are powered by electricityelectricity.

Introduction - Agriculture

Agro-industries and processing of agricultural products require energy.

Mechanical implements powered by fuel or electricity are immensely more efficient and productive than humans and animals.

In developed countries, a major portion of electricity used in agriculture powers irrigation pumps.

The energy requirements in agriculture are mainly met using solar energy, fossil fuels (oil, coal and natural gas), fuel wood and electricity.

Introduction - Industry

Most of the energy used in industry is used by the machines and processes, which make the products of industry.

Industrial energy-consuming systems include boiler and other fired systems (furnace, kilns, incinerators, dryers), compressed air system, electric motors (for fans, blowers, pumps, conveyers, etc.) and lighting system.

Energy is also used to heat or cool the buildings and to provide hot water and other facilities for workers.

Introduction - Commerce

Highly sophisticated communication systems both for the supply of goods and services, and the maintenance of organisational cohesion requires a ready supply of suitable energy.

Information processing, storage and retrieval also use a lot of energy in commerce.

Electrical energy is the most common form of energy used and supplemented by chemical energy from batteries.

Introduction - Household

Energy is required in households for space heating or cooling, water heating, cooking, lighting, ironing, and power appliances like fridge, washing machines, sound systems, TV, hair dryers, shavers, clocks, blenders, toasters, vacuum cleaners, sewing machines, etc.

The energy may come from direct heating from the sun, electricity, burning of fossil fuels or fuel wood.

Electrical Supply Systems

High Voltage (HV) Overhead transmission lines (500 kV, 275 kV,

132 kV). Underground cables (66 kV, 33 kV, 22 kV, 11

kV, 6.6 kV). For large scale industry customers.

Low Voltage (LV) Voltage level below 1 kV. For residential, commercial, and small industry

applications.

Overview of Electricity Supply Systems

High Voltage Electrical Supply

A. Main Transmission Line Network System Connecting the electrical supply source from

electrical generation stations to the main distribution network system at certain large areas like states, districts and big towns.

The main transmission line networks are liked to each other to form the “National Grid System”.

The method used in the transmission line network is the 3ø, 3 lines (R-Y-B) system through main overhead line tower.


B. Primary Distribution Network System It receives electrical supply from main

transmission line network system. It is located at few selected locations in a

state. The electrical power is delivered to the users

through several distribution levels as follows:

American Versus European


First Level (1) – Main Entry Sub-station (MES) or Pencawang Masuk Utama (PMU).

It is a building with high voltage switches and received electrical supply from main transmission line network system.

Second Level (2) – Main Divider Sub-station (MDS) or Pencawang Pembahagi Utama (PPU).

It also furnished with high voltage switches. It operates to receive the electrical supply from

MES.


Third Level (3) – Main Switch Station (MSS) or Stesyen Suis Utama (SSU).

It operates with high voltage switches in order to receive electrical supply from MDS.

Fourth Level (4) – Electrical Sub-station (ES) or Pencawang Elektrik (PE).

It receives electrical supply from MSS. 2 types : Single Chamber and Double Chambers.


Under ground cables are used in the delivery system from level 1 – 4.

Types : 3C x 300 mm sq/ 3C240 mm sq/ 3C185 mm sq, XLPE (cross-linked Polyethylene), Aluminum.

C. Secondary Distribution Network System Begins whenever the High Voltage electrical

supply (11KV) received at ES is converted to Low Voltage electrical supply (415V).

Method used is the 4 lines (R-Y-B-N) through step-down transformer.

The number of ES is depends on the total load demands (VA) requested by the user.

Type of ES : Single Chamber (200 A) and Double Chambers (600 A).


Number of chamber indicating the number of transformers needed.

Type of transformer : Oil Immersed Type, cheap but low efficiency (for

small users). Cast Resin - Dry, more expensive but higher

efficiency (larger customers). Nominal Volt-Ampere (VA) capacity of the

transformer : 250 kVA, 500 kVA, 1000 kVA.


What are inside the ES?

(i) Switch gear

(ii) Transformer

(iii) Low Voltage Distribution Board The 415V supply will then connected to the

kWh metering system (user side) through LV underground cables.

Economic Aspects

Utility company must plans for the electricity demand in advance as requested by its consumers.

Common terms used: Connected load Maximum demand Demand factor Average demand Load factor Diversity factor

Economic Aspects

Connected Load – sum of the rated maximum values of all loads used by consumer. It may be expressed in watts, kW, A, hp, kVA etc.

Maximum Demand – highest or peak demand for a specified time (might be in hour, day, month, or year).

Demand Factor (DF)

load Connected

demand Actual DF

Economic Aspects

Average Demand – Sum of the total demand (in kWh) divided by the demand period (hr).

Load Factor (LF) - The ratio of the average load over the peak load. LF ≤ 1.

Economic Aspects

Diversity Factor (DF) - The ratio of the sum of the individual peak demands in a distribution system to the peak demand of the whole distribution system. DF ≥ 1.

Example 1 – Economic Aspects

A load rises from zero to 10 kW instantaneously and stays constant for 1 minute, then rises to 20 kW and remains constant for 1 minute, continues at this rate of rise until it reaches a maximum value of 50 kW for 1 minute, then instantly falls to zero for 1 minute, after which it again rises in 10 kW steps at 1 minute intervals to a maximum of 50 kW and returns to zero for 1 minute. If the load continues to vary in these steps: What is the average demand over the first 15 minutes? Over the second 15 minutes? Over the 30 minutes demand interval?


Solution:

15 minutes

Time (minute)


Solution (Cont.):

Total demand

= (10 kW x 3 + 20 kW x 3 + 30 kW x 3 + 40 kW

x 2 + 50 kW x 2)

= 360 kW

Average demand = 360 kW/15 minutes

= 24 kW.


Solution (Cont.):

(ii) Total demand for the second 15 minutes

= 390 kW

Average demand = 390 kW/15 minutes = 26 kW

(iii) Total demand over 30 minutes

= 360 kW + 390 kW = 750 kW

Average demand = 750 kW/30 minutes = 25 kW


A factory consumes 425,200 kVAh in a year

with the yearly average power factor, 0.86. If

the half-an-hour demand was 120 kW, find,

(i) The average load demand

(ii)Annual load factor

If the factory decided to increase the electricity

usage to 450,000 kWh and the load factor to

65%, what will be the maximum demand?


Solution:

(i) Average load demand

= (425,200 x 0.86) kWh/ (365 x 24) hr

= 41.74 kW.

(ii) Load factor = 41.74 kW/ 120 kW = 35%.

(iii) Maximum demand

= 450,000 kWh/ (8,760 x 0.65) = 79.03 kW.


A group of Parit Raja consumers has an annual

individual maximum demand of 132 kVA

supplied from a single phase distribution

transformer. If the average diversity factor

between the group of consumers is 2.8,

determine the nearest standard size of the

distribution transformer that serving the

consumers.


Solution:

The size of the transformer is determined

according to the maximum demand of the whole

group.

Group Maximum demand,

= Annual individual maximum demand/ DF

= 132 kVA/ 2.8

= 47.14 kVA.

Nearest standard size = 50 kVA.

Tariffs

The rate of charging for electrical energy supplied by the utility company to its consumer.

Tariff charge is depends on various factors: Type of consumer (industrial, commercial, or

domestic) Type of service (lighting, heating, etc) Total fixed running annual charges of the utility

company Facility for calculating the bill

Tariffs

Definition of electricity tariff:

3 types of tariffs:i. Residential

ii. Commercial

iii. Industrial

[kWh]consumer the tosuppliedenergy Total

[RM] running) (fixed charges actual Total Tariff

[kWh]consumer the tosuppliedenergy Total

[RM] running) (fixed charges actual Total Tariff

TNB Tariffs

Refer to “ TNB Tariffs Book” (updated 2006). Power Factor Tariff:

Below 0.85 and up to 0.75 lagging, 1.5% of the bill for that month for each one-hundredth (0.01).

Below 0.75 lagging, A supplementary charge of 3% of the bill for that month for each one-hundredth (0.01).

Example 4 – Power Factor Tariff

A medium voltage industrial consumer having

the following data for its monthly electricity bill: Total electricity consumption in kWh

- 160,000 units The reactive power consumption in kVArh

- 120,000 units The monthly load factor - 68% For each kilowatt of maximum demand per month

= RM 19.50/ kW For all kWh = 22.2 cents/kWh


i. Determine the monthly maximum demand for this consumer. [take 30 days/month]

ii. What is the total monthly bill charge for this consumer?


Solution:

(i) Monthly max. demand

= 160,000 kWh/(30 x 24) = 222.22 kW.

(ii) Monthly bill without PF consideration,

= 222.22 kW x RM 19.50 + 160,000 kWh x

RM 0.222 = RM 39,853.29

PF = cos (tan-1 120,000/160,000) = 0.8

Poor PF charge = 1.5% x (0.85 - 0.8) x 100

x RM39,853.29 = RM 2,989.00

Total monthly bill charge = RM 42,842.29
