POWER SYSTEMS LOSS.COM: LOSSES IN ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

System's loss reduction is now one of the most growing trends in every electric distribution utility. Primarily triggered by economics and regulation concerns, Transmission and Distribution companies now sets more focus in reducing losses and become as an efficient utility as possible in delivering power. Information found in this site will be very useful not only to electrical practitioners but it is also our goal to help students better understand the actual world. Thank you and lets all enjoy learning!continue..

 
n case you don't know, the power we get from our household electrical outlet didn't just appear in the thin air. It may appear that it is coming out from our walls but we all know that looks can be deceiving. Before reaching our respective homes, electric current passes through miles and miles of conductors. Whether you have an electrical background or not,one should be aware that any load like television, radio, computers, and other devices which utilizes electricity must have a source.The source that I am referring is the one which supplies not only our own home, but also the whole community.AC generators and batteries are some of the good examples of an electrical source.To know more about the basics of the basic of Electrical Power,you can refer to this site.!continue..

The first step is to read and study the Distribution System Loss Reduction Manual. Persons who will be working on the distributor’s loss control program need to be familiar with the entire spectrum of matters involving distribution loss control. This manual outlines the important aspects of a loss control program and can be used to develop the necessary knowledge and skills for the distributor’s loss control team. Some formal classroom training using this manual as a textbook is recommended.continue..

Purchased energy from generation companies entails monetary amount from purchasing distribution utility. Likewise, electrical energy lost during transmission and distribution especially during delivery to end-users means an equivalent lost in revenue. It is then only logical to say that Power Loss Study and Mitigation can help distribution companies minimize large financial sacrifices due to losses and help them improved their economic status. By understanding how losses occurs in a system will help equip distribution utilities in making necessary decisions in formulating a program to control power losses in their franchise..continue..
  
Technical and Non technical Losses
Understanding system’s loss and how it occurs in every electric utility does not only necessarily mean that you will only be focusing on learning all the available electrical principles that pertains to computing for losses. Although it is a given fact that majority of losses happen because of the physical nature of all the components involve in the operation, there are still some other factors to be considered why losses exists..continue..

Losses in Transmission line
Understanding Losses in the transmission lines can be determined less complicated compared to transformers and distribution systems. The basic computation of it usually surrounds to the fundamentals of ohm's law. Due to the simplicity of the transmission line configuration, solving for its line losses requires no advance knowledge in any electrical principles. However, there are also portion of these line losses that better understanding is necessary. Total transmission line losses can be broken down into three relevant parts namely; conductor losses, dielectric heating & radiation losses, and coupling & corona losses. ..continue..

FRUITS AS BATTERY AND SOURCE OF ELECTRICITY

Electric Fruits Project   The purpose of this project was to find out which fruit would generate enough electricity to light a light bulb and to discover which fruit would light the bulb the longest. To conduct my experiments I used a Multimeter, copper and zinc wires & electrodes, alligator clips with leads, various light bulbs and five types of fruits. continue.. Why Do Citrus Fruits Produce Electricity?   In order to generate electricity, there must be a power source and a complete circuit. When using a citrus fruit to create electricity, these rules still apply. In a simple experiment using a citrus fruit, the components of the circuit include: a lemon or other fruit, wire, two different metal elements and a small light bulb. The lemon in this circuit serves as the battery and power source. continue.. Fruit Power Project   Purpose To demonstrate how an electrical current can be generated using citrus fruits (such as lemons or li...

INDUCTION COOKER:PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION

What is Induction Cooking?   Induction cooking uses induction heating to directly heat a cooking vessel, as opposed to using heat transfer from electrical coils or burning gas as with a traditional cooking stove. To be used on an induction cooktop, a cooking vessel must be made of a ferromagnetic metal, or placed on an interface disk which enables non-induction cookware to be used on induction surface. In an induction cooker, a coil of copper wire is placed underneath the cooking pot. An alternating electric current flows through the coil, which produces an oscillating magnetic field. This field induces an electric current in the pot. Current flowing in the metal pot produces resistive heating which heats the food. While the current is large, it is produced by a low voltage. continue.. Advantage and Disadvantages of Induction Cooker   To serious cooks, the most important favorable point about induction cookers--given that they are as or more "powerful" at heating...
