INTRODUCTION

Power generation is a machine or assembly of equipment that generates and

transmits a flow of mechanical or electrical energy. It is very essential for which the life
of the city depends on the electricity provided by the plant. The main generation
equipment of the power plant is a generator. Mostly, the power source comes from the
burns of the fossil fuels as coil, oil or gas. This will drive the generator thru the prime
mover that makes possible for the generation.

Designing a power plant made possible based on the different load requirements
and specifications. It is a systematic design that starts from the secondary load
requirements to primary up to the generating. The design of the generator was based on
the required load that was connected to it. One must be carefully understand and compute
the requirements based on the three different types of the load: residential, commercial
and industrial.

The student choses the map of Mandaluyong to provide the load characteristics
that needed to be designed a power plant that will supply around the area. The student
divided the lot area of the map based on the required area of each given load. He used 15
blocks with 20 poles with 230 Volts supply at 0.866 lagging power factor. He assumed
that the voltage drop across the load is 5% with the X/R ratio shall be less than or equal
to 3. To ensure the efficiency of the supply, the voltage regulation for each block was
carefully limited to less than 5%. He placed the span distance of the pole to 100 ft. =2in.
and the width of the city road is equal to 1 in. while 2 in. for the national road.

For the distribution map, the student shows the location of the prospective
customers and location of the distribution poles. The service wires from poles to the
customer house and the route of the secondary lines serving from each group of
customers of the block. The designer also indicates the capacity and the location of the
distribution transformer required to be serve at the different group of customers. There
also a separate sheet for the one line diagrams of the primary distribution system from the
power house to all distribution transformers. The load graph of the whole system
including the load graph of each different class of loads is shown.

Here are the load characteristics for each class of loads;
