Land Area 1,540.53 sq. km.
Population 292,781
Density 190/km2/sq.km.
Divisions 17 municipalities
ROMBLON is a cluster of twenty islands lying in the Sibuyan Sea, that is practically at the center
of the Philippine archipelago. It is south of Marinduque, west of Masbate, east of Mindoro, and
north of Panay Island. Romblon is also known as the "Marble Country". The province consists of
three main islands: Romblon, Tablas and Sibuyan. The whole province is generally mountainous.
Narrow strips of coastal lowland, low hills and plains characterize some of the islands. It is
relatively dry from November to April, and wet during the rest of the year.
The earliest residents of the province were believed to be Negritos from Panay and Mangyans from
Mindoro. Today, Romblon´s population is made up of several ethnolinguistic groups. Majority are
descendants of Malay settlers in Panay. Ilonggo and Tagalog are widely spoken, although some

Romblon has become synonymous with its most important mineral resource - marble. In fact, all
the islands comprising the province have marble. Quarries on these islands produce raw marble
for sculpture and construction purposes. The occupations of the people include farming, livestock
raising, and logging. The Sibuyan Sea provide year-round fishing opportunities. During the off-
season, farmhands engage themselves in cottage industries such as basket-weaving, rope and
fishnet making, and marble curing. The women of Romblon are mostly involved in crocheting.
on the 2000 and 2010 Census of Population and Housing (CPH) 2007 and 2015 Census of
Population (POPCEN). This is larger by 28,424 persons compared to its total population of
264,357 persons counted in the 2000 CPH. The increase in the population count from 2000 to
2010 translated to an average annual population growth rate (PGR) of 0.59 percent. This is lower
than the 1.51 percent annual PGR of the province between the census years 1990 and 2000.
The figures below represent the number of population from 1990 to 2015.
3
The population of Romblon in the 2015 census was 292,781 people, with a density of 190
inhabitants per square kilometer or 490 inhabitants per square mile. It ranks fourth among the five
provinces of the MIMAROPA Region in terms of population and represents 9.9 percent of the
region’s population.
San Jose and Romblon are the two most-densely populated municipalities in the province at
490/km2 and 450/km2, respectively. Cajidiocan is the least densely populated municipality at
110/km2

Among the 17 municipalities comprising the province of Romblon, the municipality of Odiongan
was the most populous with a population size making up 15.4 percent of the total provincial
population. The municipality of Romblon, the provincial capital, was second with 13.4 percent
share, followed by the municipalities of San Fernando (7.9 percent), San Agustin (7.8 percent),
Looc (7.7 percent), and Cajidiocan (7.5 percent). The rest of the municipalities contributed less
than 6.0 percent each. The least populated area was the municipality of Concepcion with 1.6
percent share to the total population of the province. It was also the least populated area in 2000.

Agriculture and Livestock
Agriculture is the main industry in the province. Coconut is the number one crop with a total
planted area of 58,270.44 hectares. San Agustin has the most extensive area with coconut plants
followed by Romblon and Cajidiocan. Rice is the next crop being produced particularly in
Odiongan, Looc, Cajidiocan and Santa Fe. Other crops grown include root crops, vegetables and
fruits. Odiongan, Banton and Magdiwang have the greatest areas planted with root crops and
correspondingly, with the highest volume of production. Vegetable production is mostly for home
Livestock development and poultry production is a viable small scale enterprise for farmers in the
provincewide to encourage farmers to engage in livestock and poultry production to augment their
income. Livestock and poultry management training and seminars is provided to interested clients.
Due to the geographical condition of the province, crops and livestock production is generally
deficient as compared to the food requirements of Romblon population. To meet the rice
requirements, Romblon relies on imports from the neighboring provinces while vegetables, poultry
Fishing industry can be a major enterprise as Romblon is surrounded by bodies of water. The
fishing ground of Romblon is a migratory path of fishes from Sulu and Visayan Seas passing
Tablas Strait, Sibuyan Sea and Romblon Pass. The waters also abound with demersal fishes due
to the coral reefs surrounding the islands. Because the province has a great potential for
aqua/marine development, the province implemented a coastal and resource management program.
6
Each municipality established a fish sanctuary and passed laws on fishery. The use of compressor
in the municipal waters was regulated and banned altogether in some municipalities.
Mineral Resources
Marble is the most significant mineral deposit of Romblon and is the most renowned product of
the province. Based on statistics, Romblon is the second biggest provincial marble producer of the
country next to Bulacan. Romblon marble is of very high quality and comes in shades of white,
green, pink, red and black. The Mines and Geosciences Bureau has estimated that Romblon is
endowed with about 150 million metric tons of marble. At current rates of extraction, the supply
may last for three more centuries. Tablas Island is also believed to have vast reserves of marble.
Marble quarrying and processing are major activities in Romblon. Among the most common
marble products are categorized into the following: novelty items (gifts, ashtray, table bars),
furniture (dining tables, baptismal fonts) and construction materials (tiles, balusters, marble chips).
Other mineral resources with considerable quantity include nickel ore and gold mostly to be found
in Sibuyan Island. Gold panning and small scale mining is a lucrative undertaking in the
municipality of Magdiwang.
Tourism
Romblon’s exotic blend of sun, sea and forest, together with its peaceful and friendly people make
it an enchanting destination for nature and adventure travelers. Both local and international tourists
can have their pick of diverse and interesting places and activities they can find in our 20 islands
and islets. The province has white sand beaches, secret coves and serene islets, waterfalls, historic
sites, old churches and caves believed to be ancient burial sites. Mt. Guiting-Guiting Natural Park
in Sibuyan Island is a famous site for mountain climbing. Moreover, it is a center for plant diversity
and home to many native, endangered and rare and vulnerable birds, mammals and reptiles.

POWER PLANT OPERATION
Biomass is used for facility heating, electric power generation, and combined heat and
power. The term biomass encompasses a large variety of materials, including wood from
Biomass can be converted into electric power through several methods. The most common
is direct combustion of biomass material, such as agricultural waste or woody materials. Other
synthesis gas with usable energy content by heating the biomass with less oxygen than needed
for complete combustion. Pyrolysis yields bio-oil by rapidly heating the biomass in the absence
of oxygen. Anaerobic digestion produces a renewable natural gas when organic matter is
23
• Diesel Power Plant
A Diesel power station (also known as Stand-by power station) uses a diesel engine
This power station is generally compact and thus can be located where it is actually
required. This kind of power station can be used to produce limited amounts of electrical energy.
In most countries these power stations are used as emergency supply stations.
The diesel burns inside the engine and the combustion process moves a fluid that turns the
engine shaft and drives the alternator. The alternator in turn, converts mechanical energy into
electrical energy.
This type of electricity generating power station will probably be used a long time into the
future, due to a need for reliable stand-by electrical source for emergency situations.
24
• Base Load Power Plant
The base load power plant is the power station that generates the majority of electricity
continuously throughout the year. These plants are only turned off during maintenance, service, or
upgrades.
In this project, the base load power plant is composed of the three units of the biomass
power station (4 x 4 MW). These units will be used for continuous supply from the year 2021 to
2026.
The mid merit power plant is the power station that will fill the gap between the base load
In this project, one unit of the biomass power plant (1 x 4 MW) will serve as the mid merit
power plant.
This type of power plant only comes online during periods of heightened and sustained
peak demand. Since they are only used occasionally, its cost is much higher than that of the base
load power plants. They are dispatched in combination with the base load power plant to supply
In this project, one unit of the diesel power plant (1 x 1 MW) will serve as the peaking
power plant.
25
• Reserve Units
These types of power stations are not dispatched with the base loads. Reserve units are
only operated on unforeseen situations where some generators experiences fault and maintenance.
One unit of biomass power plant (1 x 4 MW) will serve as the reserve unit of the power plant.
A load following power plant adjusts its power output depending on how much electricity
is demanded. It is typically in-between base load and peaking power plants in efficiency, speed of
start-up and shut down, construction cost, cost of electricity and capacity factor. In our project,
one unit of the diesel power plant (1 x 1 MW) can act as the load following power plant.

Specifications
The overall capacity of power plant is 22MW which is enough to deliver power to Romblon
with a total island demand of up to 16MW based from the 10-year demand projection. The Biomass
power plant will act as the base load with 4 generating units. One Biomass power plant for back-
up/reserve with 4MW generating units and one Diesel power plant for peaking load with 1MW
generating unit.
The plant factor of each of the power plants are 33.90% and 31.18% respectively. Their
Specifications of Substations
The following points are to be considered when choosing the appropriate substation bus-bar
configuration:
• Simplicity of system.
30
• Optimizing the selection of bus bar arrangement scheme so that it gives maximum
In this case, since the power plants will be the main supplier for the entire Romblon Island,
the scheme should prioritize reliability over simplicity thus the appropriate bus-bar scheme would
The Breaker and a Half scheme has two main buses. Both the buses are normally energized.
Three breakers are connected between the buses. Any of the breakers can be opened and removed
for maintenance purposes without interrupting supply to any of the circuits. Also, one of the two
buses can be removed for maintenance without interruption of the service to any of the circuits. If
fault happens on a bus it is isolated without interruption of supply to any of the circuits. If the
middle circuit breaker fails, then the breakers adjacent to the buses are tripped so interrupting both
the circuits. But if a breaker adjacent to the bus fails then the tripping of middle breaker does not
interrupt power supply to circuit associated with healthy breaker. Only the circuit associated with

This configuration is very flexible and highly reliable. The relaying of the scheme is complicated
as the middle breaker is associated with both the circuits but it will be able to provide power to

GENERATOR PROTECTION APPLICATIONS PHASE FAULT PROTECTION
There are different protection schemes used for protecting generators depending on type of
fault to which they are subjected. One of the most common faults is the sudden loss of large
generators, which results in a large power mismatch between load and generation. This power
mismatch is caused by the loss of synchronism in a certain generator - it is said that the unit goes
out-of-step. In this case, an out-of-step relay can be employed to protect the generator in the event
of these unusual operating conditions, by isolating the unit from the rest of the system. In addition,
microprocessor-based relays have a built-in feature for measuring phase angles and computing the
bus bar frequency from the measured voltage signal from the voltage transformer. Thus, phase
angles and frequency measurements are also available for use within the relay.

Transformer protection
Each transformer unit can be protected by a differential relay. The protection principle of
this relay is to compare the current inputs at both are high and low voltage sides of the transformer.
Under normal conditions or external faults (also keeping into consideration of the transformer’s
turn ratio), the current entering the protected unit would be approximately equal to that leaving it.
In other words, there is no current flow in the relay under ideal conditions unless there is a fault in
the protected unit. Moreover, microprocessor-based relays incorporate other protection functions
such as thermal overload (which tracks the thermal condition of the windings) and over/under
frequency relays. These two relays work with each other because transformer energy losses tend
to be raised with frequency increases, therefore thermal overload relays are also equipped to

Transmission line protection
Transmission lines can be protected by several types of relay, however the most common
practice to protect transmission lines is to equip them with distance relays. Distance relays are
designed to respond change in current, voltage, and the phase angle between the measured current
and voltage. The operation principle relies on the proportionality between the distance to the fault
and the impedance seen by the relay. This is done by comparing a relay’s apparent impedance to
its pre-defined threshold value. Distance relays’ characteristics are commonly plotted. As an
illustration in conjunction with the figure, suppose a fault arose, the voltage at relay will be lower
or the current will be greater compared to the values for steady state load condition. Thus, distance
relays activate when relay’s apparent impedance decreases to any value inside the parametric
circle. For this reason, the impedance of the line after the fault can also be used to find the location
of the fault

GROUND-FAULT PROTECTION
ground-fault current may not cause severe damage to the generator, but a subsequent ground fault
on a different phase will result in a phase-to-phase fault which can cause serious damage. An
overvoltage relay (device 59N) connected across the grounding impedance to sense zero-sequence
voltage can detect faults to within 5%–10% of the stator neutral (90%–95% of the stator winding).
In order to detect faults within the area not protected by this relay, an undervoltage relay sensitive
to the decrease in the third-harmonic voltage at the neutral (device 27TN) can be used to protect
protection (87) may provide coverage for ground faults, depending on the fault level and
differential relay sensitivity. A differential relay, responsive to zero sequence current, connected
across the terminals of the generator and the neutral can provide higher sensitivity and fast
operation. One of the requirements of zero sequence differential protection is that the line-side
CTs and neutral CT have the same ratio; otherwise, an auxiliary CT with matching ratio must be
37
used. When a zero sequence source is present on the system (several generators are bussed together
and connected to the load through a single transformer), a ground directional differential relay
(87GD) can be applied. The 87GD function can work with a wide range of CT mismatch and
without requiring the use of an auxiliary CT. It operates on the product of the triple zero sequence
current, the neutral current, and the cosine of the angle between the two. The relay is relatively
insensitive to ratio errors and CT saturation. The multifunction digital relays eliminate the need
for an auxiliary CT by providing an internal CT correction factor (entered by the user) in case of
CT ratio mismatch. The zero sequence current is computed internally using line-side CTs, and

Loss of excitation protection is a backup to the proper operation of the excitation system, as such
additional backup is not typically applied. A two-element offset mho relay is used to protect against

is applicable to any type and size of generator, including hydro, gas turbine, steam, and diesel.

temperature probe consists of a gallium arsenide (GaAs) semiconductor crystal that is mounted on
the end of an optical fiber. The probe is completely non-metallic. The fiber optical sensor is
completely non-conductive and offers complete immunity to RFI, EMI, NMR and microwave
radiation with high temperature operating capability, intrinsic safety, and non-invasive use. The
principle of operation is based on the temperature dependence of the band gap of GaAs. The GaAs
crystal fixed on the tip of the fiber will be transparent at a wavelength above 850nm. The position
45
of the band edge is temperature dependent and is shifted about 0.4nm/Kelvin. The light is directed
via the optical fiber to the crystal, where it is absorbed and partially reflected back into the fiber.
A miniature spectrometer provides a spectrum with the position of the band edge, from which the
temperature is calculated.

combine a high grade of measuring technology, simple operation, ruggedness and flexibility with
the advantages of industrial and cost-effective production. Needing no external power supply,
bourdon tube gauges are the best choice for most applications. Pressure gauges are crucial
reliable, accurate and easy to read to help prevent failure in everyday operations. Therefore, how
a gauge is constructed and tested is extremely important for reliability, safety and peace-of-mind.
After all, failures can cost time, money and productivity loss. Applications for gauges with a
bourdon tube range from highly automated chemical processes, such as, refineries and
petrochemical processing, to hydraulic and pneumatic installations. These types of gauges can also

be found at all critical process monitoring and safety points in today’s energy industries, from
exploration wells and petrochemical plants, to power stations and wastewater operations.
