Single Line Diagram of Electrical System: The function of an Structure of Electrical Power System is to connect the power station to the consumers’ loads by means of interconnected system of transmission and distribution networks. Therefore, an electric power system consists … (Read More)

Variable Load on Power Station: The load on a power station varies from time to time due to uncertain demands of the consumers and is known as Variable Load on Power Station. A power station is designed to meet the load requirements … (Read More)

Load Curve in Power Plant: The Load Curve in Power Plant showing the variation of load on the power station with respect to (wet) time is known as a load curve. The load on a power station is never constant; it varies … (Read More)

Variable Load Problem: The variable load problem has introduced the following terms and factors in power plant engineering: 1.Connected load : It is the sum of continuous ratings of all the equipment’s connected to supply system. A power station supplies load to thousands of consumers. … (Read More)

Types of Load in Power System: what is load in power system : A device which taps electrical energy from the electric power system is called a load on the system. The load may be resistive (e.g., electric lamp), inductive (e.g., … (Read More)

Selection of Power Generation Unit in Load Curve: The load on a Power Generation Unit is seldom constant; it varies from time to time. Obviously, a single generating unit (i.e., alternator) will not be an economical proposition to meet this varying … (Read More)

Base load and Peak Load on Power Station: The changing load on the power station makes its load curve of variable nature. Fig. 3.13. shows the typical load curve of a power station. It is clear that load on the power … (Read More)
