Assignment title: Information


Refer to the simplified Power System Network of a transmission system network. As a power system planner for Malaysian Grid Company (MGC), you are task to consistently evaluate the network under your care to ensure that the power network is operating at a safe condition. The criteria used by the utility is that the Voltage Magnitude must be within the standard voltage ranges and FVSI Index Values must not be more than 0.5. The Pre-fault condition system configuration are as given in the bus data and line data. Recently, there was bad flooding that occurred in the region you are tasked to monitor. The flood caused some of the substations to be submerged which caused all the Capacitor Bank located in the system to be out of service. When the flood receded, fortunately all loads are restored. However due to the amount of mud deposited at the load site, massive cleaning using mobile water pumps and cleaning equipment. This increased loads at Bus 30, 29, 24 and 23 by 14.1421 MVA at Power Factor 0.7071 lagging at each bus. a) Taking into account this new addition, you are required to assess whether the power system network will be able to continue to operate in a safe manner using before and after the flooding. [15 marks] b) For long term sustainability and stability of the power network and supply, recommend the best possible addition to be added into the power system network or to be available when required taking into its impact towards the Environment, Economics and Ease of implementation.
