Student

University

Summary

An Electrical power system is a system of electrical parts used to supply, pass on and utilize electric power. These power systems are used to supply power to industries and homes. Grid is the system that supplies power to these regions, homes and industries and it's divided into three broad parts; the generators that supply the power; transmission system that takes the power from the producing areas to the load areas and the distribution system that provide the power to homes and the industries. Electricity grid systems join several generators and number of phases. This paper presents an analysis of High Voltage Electrical Power Systems.

Introduction

There are two main forms of High Voltage electrical systems mainly used for commercial purposes to supply high-rise buildings and industries; they are High Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) and High Voltage Alternating Current (HV-ac). HVDC is best preferred for transmission and because it has less electric losses and is capable of transmitting high power levels over long distances. On the other hand, HV-ac is preferred for application in industries because of safety and generation of rotary motion as in motors and
