12. Overview What is a Power System? What is the function of the system?
Power system includes all parts of an electric
system power sources and customers.
The Function of the system is to generate power , transmit this power and to distribute it to customers at voltage levels and reliability that are appropriate to various users.

20. Overview
Power plants convert the energy stored in the fuel or hydro into electric energy.
The energy is supplied through step-up transformers to the electric network.
Power systems are comprised of 3 basic electrical subsystems.
Generation subsystem
Transmission subsystem
Distribution subsystem

21. High Voltage Network
High-voltage networks, consist of transmission lines, connects the power plants and high-voltage substations in parallel.
This network permits load sharing among power plants
The typical voltage of the network is between 240 and kV.
The high-voltage substations are located near the load centers.

22. Subtransmission Network
The subtransmission system connects the high-voltage substations to the distribution substations.
The typical voltage of the subtransmission system is between 138 and 69 kV.
In high load density areas, the subtransmission system uses a network configuration that is similar to the high voltage network.
In medium and low load density areas, the loop or radial connection is used.

23. Distribution Network
The distribution system has two parts, primary and secondary.
The primary distribution system consists of overhead lines or underground cables, which are called feeders.
The feeders supply the distribution transformers that step the voltage down to the secondary level.
The secondary distribution system contains overhead lines or underground cables supplying the consumers directly by single- or three-phase power.
