power systems loss

Electrical devices shown below are system components where losses usually occur. Any electrical components that has a resistance dissipates energy turning it to heat or of other form which are also considered to be losses of the system as explained in the previous discussions. Voltage Regulators (image courtesy of  indiamart.com ) Distribution Transformers (image courtesy of  tradevv.com ) Substation Transformers (image courtesy of  osha.gov ) Primary Lines ( hopshop.net ) Transmission Lines (image courtesy of  theresilientearth.com ) Secondary Lines (image courtesy of  oklahomaselltoday.com ) Regulators, Distribution Transformers, Substation Transformers, Transmission Lines, Primary Lines, and Secondary Lines are the common electrical devices that produce losses in the system.

These are images of some of the devices used in power quality that may directly or indirectly affect the system's loss of the Electric Network. On what extent that this would affect the losses will be tackled very soon. Distribution Capacitors Capacitors found in the Substations Automatic Voltage Regulator (Courtesy of powerqualityworld )

  Typical Outdoor type Power Transformer  For students who are not familiar with the physical appearance of a Power Transformer, this is how it looks like. I want to share this since back when I was in college I was not familiar with it too.  Power Transformer without attached conductors There are many aspects to consider with in specifying a Power Transformer that should be used in a system. The preferences of the project engineer is always in challenge. For more information regarding transformer specification, you can visit this  LINK
