POWER GENERATION ANALYSIS

POWER SYSTEM OPERATION BY MONSOON-

We have a wide Range of Power systems in our country and vast research is going on regarding a power network stability, since its being exposed to Atmospheric conditions and parameters like Temperature, Humidity, Rainfall influence the Generation, Transmission of the useful Power along different parts of Country. Since we are Monsoon based country, we have vast resources of Water storage and heavy quantum of energy being taken from Water Source.

OUR ANALYSIS-

During the operation of Power system, we have various disturbances caused by the wind and ice Loading. If we take Jammu and Kashmir, the area is covered with snow almost 4-5 months in an year, which leads to the gathering of snow over Transmission lines. It can be effectively reduced by using Underground Cables than using Overhead Cables.

In South India, there are places which gets affected by Cyclones and severe weather events. The protection and operation of Power system depends on-

1.Rainfall constaint-(Operation)

2.Wind Velocity-(Protection)

3.Temperature-(Resistance of Transmission line)

4.Local Meso-Scale disturbances-(Localized Power flow affected)

Measures Should be taken in-order to Curb the effect of the atmospheric conditions, in-order to improve our Power systems and we are currently working in a project on to reduce the transmission line losses by Atmosphere.
