Project Summary

 A lab-based Power Distribution trainer is designed to practice power distribution in an effective way. It is well equipped, safe, reliable and user friendly. One of the key features of this product is that it can implement any busbar scheme and can also be performed 3 bus and 4 bus Power Flow study and power factor correction. This trainer is much more cost effective and it can be customized to any further enhancement in future.

Project Objectives

Followings are the objectives regarding to this project.

1. AutoCAD design
2. Electrical design in ETAP
3. Careful consideration while selecting and purchasing of components
4. Components specification and selection
5. Pricing
6. Safety consideration
7. Final testing
8. Manual designing

Project Implementation Method

This trainer consist on 3 panels

1. Single busbar trainer

2. Single busbar with bus coupler

3. RLC Load bank

Incoming and Outgoing lines are the main part of any bus bar scheme. To make an incoming circuit firstly make the connection between main supply and an isolator than isolator output will go to the circuit breaker's input than from circuit breaker output to busbar through another isolator to energized the busbar. For an outgoing circuitry follow the same procedure but in reverse direction. 

Now to connect the load with outgoing a connection is made between the isolator and RLC load bank. Vary the load on RLC bank and get the results on energy analyzer which is internally connected to the Busbars. 

Benefits of the Project

For a grid an effective busbar scheme is a key to make its supply sustainable. Power distribution course is studied in every engineering university. It is the prime requirement of lab course to have a trainer to study power flow schemes being implemented in every grid station. Therefore, there is a need to have a platform to learn these schemes and implement them. It will provide student practical knowledge about various fields of power like distribution, transmission and utilization.
