Project Summary

Electrical Power system is a network of electrical components deployed to transfer, supply and electrical power. There are three different path waysfor electrical power systems includinggeneration, transmission and distribution. The power generation from different sources have a different strength of voltages to transmit due to ground realities and limitations it have to be transmit over a long range. EHT (Extra high tension) transmission lines are used to be transmitting electrical power on high voltage over a wide range. Along with growth of technology and also population, usage of electronic and electrical devices is sharply increasing and there is a need of much electrical power to tackle it smartly and efficiently. High and extra high voltage transmission has not much losses of electrical power during transmission and distribution, enormous power is to be saved, so as that power can be distribute from grids efficiently and effectively. Smart grid technology handles the whole process smartly. Actually it’s two way communication based technology which empower power, devices and human communications. It tackles out many problems and handles different phenomena smartly. Smart grid technology makes the power transmission, distribution and consumption more neat, clean and sustainable. This project acquires EHT transmission and smart gird technology to control the process of transmission, distribution and consumption smartly.

Project Objectives

     Global warming, energy crises and climate change have been a great concern of the era,  as the 26.9% share of greenhouse gases comes from Power sector operating on fossil fuel so our project aims to extract maximum energy from renewable sources which is only possible with the implementation of Smart Grids  In order to meet the demand for electric power which have been rapidly increasing in the commercial and industrial cities. Main objectives of this project are to design an EHT Network up to 220 KV including Substation, Underground as well as Overhead Transmission and control it smartly by using smart grid technology. With maximum, efficiency, reliability, feasibility and all safety measures approved by SEPA/EPA ensuring minimum reduced losses. As the 26.9% share of greenhouse gases comes from the Power sector operating on fossil fuel so our project aims to extract maximum energy from renewable sources which is only possible with the implementation of Smart Grids  In order to meet the demand for electric power which have been rapidly increasing in the commercial and industrial cities. Our target is to contribute to development and economy and the stabilization of people’s livelihood.

Project Implementation Method

The demand of electrical power and energy is increasing rapidly due to growth of population and different electrical devices and appliances. To use energy more significantly and in plentiful amount then there is need of much electrical power. There is huge amount of power losses from different process (generation to distribution) there is a need of healthier system which meets all needs and save electrical power smartly. In Pakistan huge amount of electricity (63.9%) is generated from thermal energy based sources and then transmission and distributions loses huge amount of electrical power. Energy from thermal sources is much expensive.  Hence, Extra high voltage transmission is one of the healthiest system, this transmission is to be done on the high voltages. Due to high voltage transmission it doesn’t loss much power and smart grid technology (IoT System) is the superior and emerging technology, which have been used to control grid based phenomenon very smartly. The implementation of this system to leads to a best system which commits and accomplishes all needs regarding electrical power.

Benefits of the Project

In order to transmit large amounts of power over long distances, extra high voltage (EHV) transmission lines are leveraged. Extra-high voltage facilitates transmission at 220, 345, 500 and 765Kv economically. EHT transmission up to 22KV network can be very lucrative for areas which are far away from generation plants and require such transmission lines which operate with minimum power losses and controlling smartly by using Smart Grid technology make it more effective and efficient. The benefits of this system are listed below:

1.      Integration of distributed generation sources (possibly renewable)

2.      Environmental friendly transmission and generation with Reduced transmission losses

3.      Self-fault healing ability

4.      Smart metering

5.       Clean and green energy

Reduced carbon footprints 

Technical Details of Final Deliverable

Technically our project aims to integrate prevailing electrical network with information technology i.e. Smart grid. Whereby our main aim is to extract energy from renewable sources with self-healing and fault detection systems transmitting power over high voltage via Extra High-Tension Electrical network up to 220kV. Its functionality can be understood with an example of Karachi city whose total load requirement is 3,300 MW which is coming from power plants which are fossil fuel based hence there is shortage of power to run industries and huge environmental losses. Here under our project we will enable our grid and electrical network In a way that it automatically forecasts the parameters of sunshine and air along with the load requirement at any particular area hence, our grid will be able to monitor circumstances at both generation and utility side  and react accordingly. In this way our power sector will be able to extract maximum energy from clean and green energy sources with minimized transmission losses.
