Introduction
Facts About the Power Industry The electric power industry has evolved over many decades, from a low power generator, serving a limited area, to highly interconnected networks, serving a large number of countries, or even continents. Nowadays, an electric power system is one of the man-made largest scale systems; ever made, comprising of huge number of components; starting from low power electric appliances to very high power giant turbo-generators. Running this very large system is a real difficult task. It has caused numerous problems to be solved by both the educational and the industrial bodies. The current situation should be run in an efficient manner, proper insights should be given to the future.
Introduction
Planning - to arrange a method or scheme beforehand for any work, enterprise, or proceeding. Power System Planning - discusses problem in terms of:
the issues involved from various viewpoints; the methods to be used; the elements to be affected; the time horizon to be observed, etc
Introduction
Power System Elements
As already noted, a typical power system is comprised of enormous number of elements. The elements may vary from a small lamp switch to a giant generator. However, the main elements of interest in this book are: Generation facilities Transmission facilities Substations Network (lines, cables) Loads
In power system planning, the details of each element design are not of main interest. For instance, for a generation facility, the type (steam turbine, gas turbine, etc.), the capacity and its location are only determined.
Introduction
Generation: source of power, ideally with a specified voltage and frequency Load: consumes power; ideally with a constant resistive value Transmission System: transmits power; ideally as a perfect conductor

Sources are:
Steam - Water is boiled by: nuclear fission, the burning of fossil fuels (coal, natural gas, or petroleum).

Introduction
Renewables - the steam generated by: The sun as the heat source: solar parabolic troughs and solar power towers concentrate sunlight to heat a heat transfer fluid, which is then used to produce steam.
Geothermal power. Either steam under pressure emerges from the ground and drives a turbine or hot water evaporates a low boiling liquid to create vapour to drive a turbine.

Introduction
Usually transmission lines use three phase alternating current (AC). High-voltage direct current systems are used for long distance transmission, or some undersea cables.
Electricity is transmitted at high voltages (115 kV or above) to reduce the energy lost in transmission.
Power is usually transmitted as alternating current through overhead power lines. Underground power transmission is used only in densely populated areas because of its higher cost of installation and maintenance when compared with overhead wires,and the difficulty of voltage control on long cables.

Introduction
A power transmission network is referred to as a "grid". Multiple redundant lines between points on the network are provided so that power can be routed from any power plant to any load center, through a variety of routes, based on the economics of the transmission path and the cost of power.
In our country, The Philippine Grid Code (PGC) establishes the basic rules, requirements, procedures, and standards that govern the operation, maintenance, and development of the high-voltage backbone Transmission System in the Philippines.

Introduction
Energy Economics
Electric generating technologies involve a tradeoff between fixed costs (costs to build them) and operating costs
Nuclear and solar high fixed costs, but low operating costs Natural gas/oil have low fixed costs but high operating costs (dependent upon fuel prices) Coal, wind, hydro are in between
Also the units capacity factor is important to determining ultimate cost of electricity
