Study Notes

Introduction to Power System Planning

  • The demand for power has been increasing over the years due to factors such as:

    • Increase in population
    • Heavy industrialization
    • High economic growth and prosperity
  • Power System Planning is essential to meet current and future demand challenges in the electricity sector.

Objectives of Power System Planning

  • To ensure the quality of supply, safety, and amenity
  • To minimize total costs over the life of the system

Cost Components

  • Fixed Costs: capital investment and their timing
  • Variable Costs: continuing annual costs such as system losses and maintenance expenditure

Factors to Consider in Planning

  • Growth of load in different areas
  • Variations in the relative levels of the costs of materials and energy
  • Increasing use of technical innovations

Planning Activities

  • Determination of future network requirements (technical planning)
  • Production of financial guidelines

Importance of Planning

  • To strike a balance between technical feasibility and financial viability
  • To undertake planning studies to:
    • Draw up a list of expected major annual investments
    • Allocate sums of money to cover future undefined technical schemes
