INTRODUCTION
Background of the Study
Over the course of the 21st Century, electrical power or electricity has been the
most efficient secondary source of energy that plays a vital role in the society, which is
mainly used in operating almost all kinds of facilities and technology today. In all
industries, including traditional and high-tech industries, economic production is
impossible without electric power (Mathews and Tan, 2013, Ahmad et al., 2016). An
electrical system is an object made up of various electrical components that allow for
transporting electrical energy for a particular purpose. Within the context of a building, it
is a network of conductors and equipment designed to carry, distribute and convert
electrical power safely from the point of delivery or generation to the various loads
around the building that consume the electrical energy. It is typically converted into other
forms of energy, to serve useful purposes such as heating, lighting, motion or other forms
of electrical power conversion.
Electrical power system should be economically efficient, it should provide
reliable energy supply and should not have any detrimental impact on the environment
(Cosmi et al., 2003, El-Shatter et al., 2006). The accumulation of electrical energy that
has been used in any given time is termed the electrical consumption, or electrical use

ISO 9001:2015
and is very often metered for billing purposes. Electrical consumption is most often
measured and compared by reference to the term Kilowatt hour. In its most basic form,
this is the amount of energy used by a resistive load of 1000 watts (1kW) running for 1
hour. This quantity of energy can be equated to, say, running a 1kW electric heater
continuously for 1 hour, and the amount of energy used by this would be 1kWh or ‘1 unit’
of electricity. Equally, a 100W filament lamp (0.1kW) running for 10 hours would
consume 1kWh of electrical energy (ECA, 2022). Many smaller electrical installations
are billed for their consumption based on the number of kWh used over a given time
period, plus a ‘standing charge’ which covers supplier and distributor costs. Larger
consumers of electrical energy will be billed based on a more complex sets of conditions
– taking into account the power factor of the connected load, maximum demand at any
given time, time of day, season, as well as system use charges and other overheads borne
by the supplier and distributor.
Santos and Legey (2013) developed a methodology for long-term electricity
system expansion planning, which considered the environmental costs related to the
construction and operation of power plants. The planning and designing of electric power
system serves as a key part in the designing of power electric engineering, and its quality
has a direct influence on the normal operation of the electric engineering system. The
planning of electric power systems provides an important guarantee for a rapid, stable
and sustainable development of the electric power industry. An overall and long-term

ISO 9001:2015
electric power development plan as well as the planning and designing of electric power
system is closely related to the rational utility of the investment in electric power industry
and the economic efficiency of the resources and energy utilization, serves as an
important guarantee for the security of power grid and economic operation, and is a
requisite for sustainable development of the electric power industry. The history of the
methods for network planning comes along with the history of electric power industry. As
the significance of the electric power for the national economy was increasing, more and
more efforts were put to find the optimal network development strategies. Recognized
that there are several methodologies applied in practice, which result in feasible and
decent solutions. However, it is evident that these methods can be improved. The
development of more and more efficient methods for the planning of distribution
networks is constantly significant. This can be explained by the high investments
involved in reinforcement and operation of the networks. In the industrialized world
nearly half of the investments in the power industry are spent in distribution networks.

of the study to make an efficient developmental plan.


ISO 9001:2015
Definition of Terms
The following were operationally and conceptually defined to serve as a guide to the
readers for better comprehension and understanding.
Electrical power is the rate at which electrical energy is transferred by an electric circuit.
The SI unit of power is the watt, one joule per second. Standard prefixes apply to watts as
with other SI units: thousands, millions and billions of watts are called kilowatts,
megawatts and gigawatts respectively. Power.
Electrical system consists of all the elements needed to distribute electrical power,
including overhead and underground lines, poles, transformers, and other equipment. The
electric system in a small industrial unit will normally be powered by a three-phase
supply.
Electrical Load is simply any component of a circuit that consumes power or energy. In
a household setting, the most obvious examples of electrical loads include light bulbs and
appliances.

ISO 9001:2015
kW stands for kilowatt, which is a measure of how much power an appliance needs to
run. A kilowatt is 1,000 watts.
Energy in physics refers to the capacity to do work. It comes in various forms which is
heat, chemical, electrical, etc.
Standing charge is a fixed daily charge you pay in addition to the unit rate regardless of
how much gas or electricity you use to cover the cost of being connected to the energy
network.
Power consumption refers to the electrical energy per unit time supplied to operate
something, such as a home appliance. Power consumption is usually measured in units of
watts (W) or kilowatts (kW).
A Distribution system consists of all the facilities and equipment connecting a
transmission system to the customer's equipment. A typical distribution system can
consist of: Substations, Distribution Feeder Circuits, and Switches.
Voltage drop is the difference in voltages of two points.
Short-Circuit Calculation is used to determine the magnitude of the short circuit current
which the system is capable of producing and compares the magnitude of the short circuit
magnitude with the interrupting rating of the overcurrent protective devices (OCPD).
