LOAD-FLOW ANALYSIS OF CUET CAMPUS

ABSTRACT
Load flow study is essential for a system of multiple load centers. It explains the effects of new loads, new stations, new lines, new. It is especially effective for reliable and continuous safe flow of power. Through this thesis we have tried to evaluate the existing power system in our CUET campus.
Load-flow study-
  1. Analyses system capability to supply the connected load.
  2. Provides useful information about real and reactive power flow, bus voltages and power factor in each branch of the system.
  3. Plans the future expansion of power system.
  4. Determines the best operation of existing system.
OBJECTIVES
  1. To know the existing campus distribution.
  2. To know the sources of power in CUET campus.
  3. To calculate the connected load, bill payable to REB, useful load, power factor- then the difference between connected load and actual load as per bill i.e. percentage error.
  4. To draw the load curves on the basis of yearly load variations.
  5. To propose some methods for improving the stability of the power system.
  6. To propose some methods for economic utilization of electric power.
  7. To have a proposal for an electrical master plan for the next 25 years.
SOURCES OF POWER IN CUET CAMPUS
The campus is mainly provided power by Pomra substation of REB. Besides this, there are 3 generators for emergency power supply during load shedding. A manually operated generator of 75 KVA. An auto-back up source of 19 kVA. A manually operated generator of 30 KVA.
EXISTING POWER DISTRIBUTION IN CAMPUS
A transformer of 500 kVA in our substation steps down the 11 kVA into 0.415 kV. For future use there is a transformer of 200 kVA. There are 12 circuit breakers to control the power supply in CUET campus. Two of them are Oil Circuit Breaker (OCB) ,one is MCCB and others are MCB. A main MCCB of 800 A controls other circuit breakers.

POWER FACTOR
Power factor is the cosine of the angle between voltage and current in an ac circuit. Power consumption depends upon this factor. Low power factor is not expected due to some reasons-
  1. It requires large kVA rating of equipments.
  2. Greater conductor size is needed.
  3. It causes large copper losses.
  4. It provides poor voltage regulation and poor efficiency.
METHODS OF POWER FACTOR IMPROVEMENT
Power factor can be improved by 3 methods:
  1. Use of static capacitor bank in parallel with the equipment operating at lagging power factor.
  2. Using synchronous condenser in parallel with the supply.
  3. Phase advancers can be used to improve power factor of induction motor.
In our CUET campus capacitor bank has been used to improve power factor.
CALCULATION OF POWER FACTOR
From substation we get,
CT ratio =1:120
Power, P =1.7*120 kW=204 kW
Voltage, V = 238*1.732V=412.22 V
Current, I = 3.1*120 A=372A
Therefore,
Power Factor = Power/ (1.732*Voltage*Current) = (204*1000) / (1.732*412.22*372) = 0.768
LOAD CURVES
The curve showing the variation of load on the power station with respect to time is known as a load curve. Now we will represent daily load curve, load duration curve, annual load curve of CUET campus . Here we will also represent the annual consumption pattern of CUET as per bill of the financial year June 2008-May 2009.

STABILITY
Stability is the ability of a system to reach stable condition after being disturbed.
Two types of stability are:
  1. Transient stability
  2. Steady state stability
Stability limit is important term which is the maximum power transferred in a network between sources and loads. Transient stability limit is less than steady state stability limit. Methods of improving stability:
  1. Use of double circuit line
  2. Use of bundled conductors
  3. Series compensation of the lines
  4. Use of parallel feeders.
ECONOMIC UTILIZATION OF POWER
  1. Consciousness is required to reduce power loss.
  2. High load factor is required for better utilization of power.
  3. Proper time scheduling.
  4. Using two part tariff.
  5. By prohibiting the use of heaters in student’s halls.
  6. Use of compact fluorescent lamp.
  7. Improving power factor.

PROPOSED ONE-LINE DIAGRAM FOR INCREASED LOAD DEMAND AFTER 25 YAERS
PROPOSED ONE-LINE DIAGRAM FOR INCREASED LOAD DEMAND AFTER 25 YAERS
The demand of electric power is increasing gradually. To meet up the future requirement of CUET, the infrastructure of electric system has to be improved. Substation capacity, its protection system and distribution system must have to be upgraded.
It is reported from different media that the power generation crisis is greatly affecting our national distribution system. As a result, about 1400 MW load shedding is expecting in the forthcoming summer peak hours which will greatly affect our university students and teachers. To overcome these sorts of problem, establishment of a permanent power supply source in CUET has to be considered. For this purpose, a generating capacity of 2 MW with two units have to be installed in the CUET campus and authority of CUET may please propose to the competent authority for getting approval of the work, otherwise students and teachers of the CUET will have to face a lot of problems in future.
