ABSTRACT
Now days our country is facing the Worst energy crisis in power sector due to
insufficient power generation and sharp increase in demand. This condition is badly
affecting the economy Of the country.
In the wake Of energy crisis in the country, all viable options (which can reduce the
severity) must be given a chance. In the form of demand side management (DSM)
programs, utilities have a solution which tough can do no miracle but at least we can
soften the impact of crisis in shortest span of time, giving our energy experts latitude
to come up and implement long term plans. In fact the alarming scenario of the
power crisis can be testified from the increasing gap in demand and supply, which is
continuously reaching a new stratum each year.
In this thesis we present the efficient techniques for reducing technical losses for
saving the energy at grid station and load management techniques at distribution
feeders. For this purpose we have chosen 132 kV Grid station Society, Nawabshah
for improving the power factor by installing capacitor banks and load management at
consumer side Of one feeder and street lights Of Nawabshah city. For the load
management at consumer side first we survey the consumers of different categories
of Society feeder, Nawabshah. Then we suggest the efficient device for the
replacement old devices of high rated power and extra tips were also suggested By
applying these techniques at consumer side more than 3000 MW of power may be
saved in Pakistan. Secondly for load management at consumer side we also select the
Street light of Nawabshah city. For this purpose we suggest the replacement of high
rated power street lights of city Nawabshah by efficient LED shades and energy
savers for saving the energy. Due this energy conservation technique at street lights
of Pakistan more than 100 MW of power can saved.
This development is the need of today's rising technology. If appropriately executed,
these techniques could profit both consumers and the utility because it will help
HESCO as well other distribution companies to predict the daily variation, seasonal
variation and peak hours variation in the load flow and also promote their load
management system in such a way that maximum efficiency is achieved at little
running cost.
