FOREWORD
Standards and criteria are revised, amendments are issued, but unfortunately, do not reach
the proper personnel, and if it does, is misplaced/missed and thus remains un-followed
/unimplemented. This is an effort to compile the information scattered, lying in the
personal files / drawers, or in the minds, undocumented and unorganized, related with
rehabilitation of distribution system to make a guideline.
This guideline describes the significance of power distribution system
rehabilitation. Its purpose is to provide planning procedures (with all the necessary
sample formats of data sheets, maps, and sketches), the revised criteria, necessary
definitions, formulas, as well as tabulated information that are needed while developing
the HT and LT proposals.
This will serve as a practical guide for the distribution system planner. It is dared
not to say that all the necessary / important information, in this regard, has been
compiled; but it can serve as a basis to be updated and improved regularly to become a
complete handbook in this regard. The guidelines and criteria described in this guideline
are strictly related with the distribution system rehabilitation / renovation (and is not
meant for dealing with new connections, extension of load, reduction of load, and new
housing schemes, etc.)

On blank side of the pages of this guideline you can write down relevant notes,
cut and paste amendments issued in the subsequent years, and important tables, etc. with
references. Kindly send additional information, suggestions, improvements, and
corrections if any, to the o/o C.E. (D.E.) WAPDA, 17/C-1, IEEEP Building, Faisal Town,
Lahore. Any such information, with references, and solutions of problems in this regard
will be welcomed. This will help updating and making the guideline more useful and self
sufficient.

1. INTRODUCTION
1.1

Significance of Reduction in Energy Losses and Voltage Drop in Distribution


Network
The distribution network is planned for a limited period of time (5 years) and when the
network is extended, its old (existing) part must also be augmented accordingly.
However, to meet with the increasing demand of power, distribution network has been
extended without augmenting the existing network accordingly, as a result energy losses
and voltage drop have been increased beyond permissible limits. The engineering
economics and finance both indicate toward their reduction in the existing as well as
future extensions. For the reduction in energy losses and voltage drops some means are
adopted to augment and rehabilitate the existing distribution system.

1.2

Objectives of Distribution Rehabilitation


The main objectives are:

1.3

Reduction of power losses

Improvement of voltage conditions

Improvement of power factor

Accommodation of future load growth

Shifting of the load from overloaded grid station to lightly loaded grid station

Improvement of quality of energy supply and reliability

Improvement of system stability and continuity of supply

Improvement in safety
Improvement of customer service

Reduction in cost of operation and maintenance

Improvement of equipment life


Procedure of Distribution Rehabilitation
A distribution network is selected for rehabilitation on the basis of certain planning
criteria such as voltage drop, power loss, equipment loading, Benefit/Cost ratio, etc. For
each selected network, a planning proposal for Energy Loss Reduction (ELR) is prepared
to achieve the desired benefits.

1.4

Factors Affecting Energy Losses & Voltage Drop in Distribution Network


Impedance of line conductor
Loading of line conductor
Power factor
Poor maintenance
Defective/Sluggish meters
Theft of electricity

1.5

Methods/Tools of Distribution Rehabilitation (Hierarchy)


1.5.1 By Reducing the Units Receipt
A.
Rehabilitation/Augmentation of HT Distribution Network
Area Planning without addition of new feeder i.e. shifting of load from heavily
loaded feeders to the adjoining lightly loaded Feeders in the vicinity.
Installation of HT shunt capacitors:
i. Fixed
ii. Switched
Reconductoring i.e. replacement of existing conductor with higher capacity
conductor
Bifurcation of feeder i.e. addition of new feeder, to shift some of the load of
existing feeder
Area Planning with addition of new feeders
Sometimes, Area Planning at grid station level is also required to provide relief to
the over loaded grid stations by shifting its load to nearby under loaded or newly
constructed grid stations. Area Planning may or may not involve new feeders.
B.

Rehabilitation/Augmentation of LT Distribution Network


Load balancing of distribution transformers
Relocation of distribution transformer i.e. shifting of transformer to load center
Installation of LT shunt capacitors on tube wells and industrial loads
Reconductoring of LT line
Augmentation of existing transformer (its replacement with higher capacity one)
Addition of new transformers
New LT lines

The above techniques reduce the unit receipt; and hence, reduce the energy losses
and voltage drops.
1.5.2 Increasing the Units Sold

Shifting of meters outside the customer premises

Proper vigilance by the officers/officials to avoid theft of electricity

Detection of units through checking/surveillance by officers


Combing of feeders

Installation of check meters

Replacement of old and defective/sluggish meters


It is pertinent to note that reduction in theft of electricity and its measures are not
in the scope of this guideline.

1.6

Different Software Used For Load Flow Studies of Distribution Network


Feeder Analysis program (FDRANA)
Power System Simulator for Advanced Distribution Engineering Productivity
Tool (PSS/Adept)
The above programs are used for:
Simulation of existing distribution network for load flow studies
Simulation of proposed distribution network for load flow studies on the basis of
existing analysis results for future planning
Simulation of optimal capacitor placement

2. DISTRIBUTION REHABILITION MEASURES


Different distribution system rehabilitation measures are briefly discussed in the
following sub sections.
2.1

11 kV Distribution Network
2.1.1 Area Planning of 11 kV Network Without Addition of New Feeders
In this case, heavily loaded feeders are selected and their load can be shifted to nearby
lightly loaded feeders to balance the load amongst them.
In some cases, due to overloading of grid stations, area planning of feeders is
exercised for shifting of load from one grid station to another grid station by making
links between the grids. This will not only provide relief to the grid station equipment
but also will accommodate the future expected load growth. Area Planning may or
may not involve new feeders.
2.1.2

Installation of Shunt Capacitors


Installation of capacitors on HT lines results in primary loss reduction in HT lines and
improvement in the voltage drop conditions. Losses in distribution transformers, LT
lines, and service cables are also reduced marginally.

2.1.3 Reconductoring of 11 kV Feeders


In this case, only those feeders are selected, where
1. Percentage loading of conductor exceeds economic loading
2. Reconductoring due to replacement of deteriorated/off size conductor
Studies of different conductor sizes have indicated that in many cases, it is more
economical to use conductors of higher cross sectional area. Replacement of existing
line conductors by bigger sized conductors will result in reduction of technical losses
in direct proportion to the ratio between the resistance of the new and existing

conductor. The cost of reconductoring must be compared with the savings due to
reduction in losses, increase in revenues, and release of distribution system capacity.
Evaluation of reconductoring must also take into account the improvement of
power factor, voltage regulation, and increase in demand over the life of the
conductor.
2.1.4 Bifurcation of 11 kV Feeders
In this case, overloaded or lengthy feeders are selected. Only one feeder is selected
for bifurcation and a new feeder is essentially involved in this case.
In many urban and rural areas, the existing HT lines/feeders are extremely
overloaded and lengthy. Replacement of these lines with new 11 kV lines can result
in considerable loss reduction.
In addition to above the introduction of new HT line/feeders can result in
improvement of quality of supply and reduction in losses.
2.1.5 Area Planning of 11 kV Network with Addition of New Feeders
This case is almost similar to above mentioned Area Planning (in article 2.1.1) except
that in this case one or more new feeders are proposed to share some of the load of
the over loaded feeders.
2.1.6 Installation of 11 kV Sectionalizers
In order to isolate the faulty portions of feeders under fault conditions proper
sectionalization of 11 kV network should be carried out to minimize the number of
customers affected.
2.1.7 Replacement of Deteriorated 11 kV Cables (500MCM/240 mm2)
For new 11 kV feeders, it is suggested to use 500 MCM cable at grid end and to
replace the under-sized / deteriorated cable, where required.

2.2

LT Distribution Network
2.2.1 Load Balancing of Distribution Transformers
A large number of transformers are damaged due to un-balancing of load amongst
phases. Therefore, with proper attention to load balancing of distribution transformer,
not only transformer damage rate can be reduced but also the technical losses and the
voltage drops are reduced.
2.2.2 Relocation of Distribution Transformers
In a large number of areas, particularly in villages, relocation (i.e. shifting and
placement of transformers to the load center of the area) can reduce the losses in LT
lines and cables.
2.2.3 Installation of LT Shunt Capacitors
Installation of LT capacitors can result in PF improvement of loads. It also results in
voltage improvement and reduction in energy losses. It, thus, releases the LT lines
capacity; and its effect will be on the source as well as remote end side.
2.2.4 Reconductoring of LT Lines
In certain cases, replacement of existing overloaded LT conductor with bigger
conductor size is another option. Evaluation of LT line reconductoring should be
compared with the other possible measures such as installation of larger number of
transformers (including shifting of load to another one) and upgrading LT lines to HT
lines.
2.2.5 Replacement of Deteriorated PVC Cables
Overloaded, aged, and deteriorated service cables are another major cause of
technical losses. Existing overloaded service cables need to be replaced to reduce
their losses.

2.2.6 Replacement of Non-standard Fuses


Protection of distribution transformers is improved with the replacement of nonstandard fuses with standard dropout fuses. It also results in reduction of distribution
transformer failures.
2.2.7 Augmentation of Overloaded Distribution Transformers
Transformers are damaged due to overloading. Consequently, the voltage level
decreases and technical losses rise. This condition can be improved by replacing of
overloaded transformers with higher capacity ones.
2.2.8 Addition of New Power Transformers
Losses in overloaded and overextended LT circuits can also be reduced by bifurcating
them and by installing a new power transformer (at the grid station).
2.2.9 Addition of New LT Lines
Conversion of existing overloaded, extended, and deteriorated LT cables into single
phase and three phase LT lines can also result in substantial reduction of losses and
improvement of system reliability. New LT lines may be required even in the case of
bifurcation of existing LT circuits through installing new transformers. In many
residential areas, particularly in villages, vast networks of LT cables and service cable
chains (service to service connections) should be rehabilitated.
2.2.10 Use of Connectors
While replacing of overloaded service cables, proper connectors must be used for all
joints. Connectors not only reduce losses in loose jumpers but also improve the
system reliability.
2.2.11 Replacement of Earthings
A large number of fatal and non-fatal accidents of DISCO employees, public, and
animals is partly a consequence of deteriorated earthing (which may be due to
chemical changes in the earth and poor workmanship.) By replacing faulty earthings

or by installing new ones (where it does not exist), the number of accidents can be
reduced.
2.2.12 Elimination of Loose Joints
Considerable energy losses can be reduced in power distribution by introducing
aluminum connectors, especially of compression and bolted types. Infra red sensors
should be used to detect hot spots.
2.3

Replacement of Defective/Sluggish Metering Equipment


At present, a large number of single as well as three phase meters are defective in the
distribution system. Replacement of meters helps reducing the technical losses, and
increase revenues. At the same time, more accurate energy consumption data becomes
available for planning purposes.

3. CAPACITOR APPLICATION
Power factor improvement is an important distribution rehabilitation measure, which
gives a high rate of return on investments. The losses in a distribution system are reduced
with respect to the power factor as follows:
1
Reduction in losses

(Cos 2)

)
2

(Cos 1)

Where, stands for directly proportional to,


Cos 2 is the PF after installing the capacitor, and
Cos 1 is the PF before installing the capacitor.
For example, if the power factor is improved from 0.7 (power factor square =
0.49) to 0.95 (power factor square =0.90), the new losses will be about 54% of the
original losses and the savings will be about 46%.
Benefits from capacitor applications are substantial if the capacitor is installed
close to the load. For instance, installation of capacitors on individual motors will result
in off setting the low motor power factor and efficiency, as well as in reduction of losses
in service cables, LT Lines, transformers and HT lines.
Installation of capacitors can be categorized into fixed and switched (which can
be disconnected during off-peak periods) capacitors to avoid voltage increase during
periods of low demand, especially at night. Furthermore, capacitor installation in
transmission network and grid station must also be taken into account while estimating
the maximum capacity of distribution capacitors that can be installed without resulting in
leading power factor in the power generators.
3.1

Power Factor
Irrespective of the nature of voltage and current, the power factor may be defined as:
i. Cosine of angle of lead or lag
9

ii. The ratio

R
Z

iii. The ratio

Resistance
Impedance

True Power _
Apparent Power

If the voltage and current are both sinusoidal then


Power Factor =

kW =
kVA

kVA Cos
kVA

= Cos

Where, is phase (angle) difference between voltage and current.

3.2

For an ideal power distribution system, the power factor should be close to (less than
but not greater than) unity. If power factor is low i.e. less than unity, it means total
power is not being consumed.

Usually, the power factor of distribution system is lagging which is due to inductive
behavior of the load.

Leading power factor also increases energy loss of the system. Therefore, the PF
should be maintained close to unity.

Power Triangle
For three phase system:
Active or True Power

P =

3 VI Cos

Reactive Power

Q =

3 VI Sin

Apparent Power

S =

3 VI

These three powers are shown in power triangle as below:


Where, S = (P + Q)
P

Q
S

10

Example:

Effect of PF on release of active power

S
PF
P
Q

Generator

Generator

= 100 kVA
= 0.8
= 80 kW
= 60 kVAR

S
PF
P
Q

= 100 kVA
= 1.0
= 100 kW
= 0 kVAR

The above example clearly indicates that a generator of total power 100 kVA will supply
maximum of 80 kW of active power to load with PF = 0.8 and the same generator will
supply maximum of 100 kW of active power to a load with PF = 1.
3.3

Disadvantages of Low Power Factor


As we know
PF = Cos

= kW
kVA

or

In case of three phase system kVA =

therefore,

kVA ,
3 V

kVA

kVA
3 VI,

= kW
Cos
or

From above, it reveals that kVA is directly proportional to current. The major
disadvantage of low PF is that current required for a given useful (kW) power will be
high.
Suppose a three phase balanced system is supplying a load W at voltage V and PF
Cos , then the current flowing through the conductor is
I

W
3 V Cos

11

A low PF obviously means a higher current and this fact leads to the following
undesirable results.

Increase in line losses


Line losses are proportional to I, which means proportional to 1/(Cos ). Thus losses at
Cos = 0.8 are 1/(0.8) = 1.57 times those at unity power factor.

Large kVA Supply Required for a Given Amount of kW Load


Rating of generators and transformers are proportional to current I, and
hence, to 1/Cos .
Thus kVA at Cos = 0.8 is 1/0.8 = 1.25 times that at unity power factor.
Therefore, large generators and transformers are required for the same amount of
active power at low PF

Poor Voltage Regulation


Low lagging power factor causes a large voltage drop.
VD

= (R x W) + (XL x VAR)

V
Low PF means more VAR in the system; hence, increase in voltage drop. Therefore,
additional equipment for regulation is required to keep the voltage drop within the
prescribed limits.
The disadvantages of low power factor are summarized below:
In transmission/distribution lines only the active component of the current is useful.
When PF is low, the phase (active) component is small but the reactive component is
large. Hence, large supply (of apparent) current is required for the same amount of active
(load) current. Large reactive component means, large voltage drop, and hence, greater
copper losses requiring voltage regulation equipment, and decreasing the power
equipment efficiency.

12

Electricity utilities usually are bound to maintain the voltage at customers terminals
within prescribed limits. They have to incur additional capital cost of tap changing gear
on transformers. So, the electricity authorities penalize the industrial customers for their
low PF by charging increased tariff for maximum kVA demand in addition to the kW
charges. Obviously, it is advantageous for the customer to improve his own (i.e. load) PF.
3.4

Power Factor Improvement


Power factor can be improved by supplying kVAR to the inductive load. The techniques
to improve the PF are:

With synchronous motors


With capacitors

Synchronous motors are not commonly used in distribution network for PF


improvement because they require regular maintenance and also are expensive. This
method can be used to raise PF of system having large induction motor loads.
In distribution system, capacitors are the most common method for power factor
improvement being the least expensive and almost maintenance free.
3.5

Power Factor Improvement with Capacitors


Capacitor is a static source of reactive power (i.e. leading reactive current). It
compensates the lagging current of load. There are two types of capacitors according to
their mode of installation:
i.
ii.

Series Capacitors
Shunt Capacitors

Series Capacitors have some drawbacks. First, all load current has to flow through
capacitors, so, when the load increases, larger capacitors are needed. Second, it boosts
the voltage up at the point of installation.

Shunt Capacitors are more suitable for installation on the distribution feeder as it
produces a uniform voltage boost per unit of length of line, out of its point of
application toward the remote end. Therefore, it should be installed as far out on the
distribution system as possible, close to the load requiring the kVAR. Shunt
13

capacitors have two advantages: Adding capacitors releases circuit capacity to


accommodate more load; and it relieves over loaded circuits.
There are two types of shunt capacitors:
i. Switched capacitors
ii. Fixed capacitors
Switched Capacitor

Switched capacitor banks are programmable capacitors and can be switched


on/off during load cycles by different program settings. Time clocks, temperature,
voltage, current, and reactive power controls are common actuators for capacitor
switching.

Switched capacitors are usually applied (if economical) to improve the power
factor to make it equal to 0.97 at peak load.

Fixed Capacitors

3.6

Fixed capacitor banks are usually applied (if economical) to improve the power
factor close to (or less than but not greater than) unity at light load and are
permanently connected to the system through fuses.

Proposed permanently connected capacitor application should be checked to make


sure that the voltage to some customers should not rise too high during light load
periods.

Fixed capacitors are quite cheap as compared to switched capacitors. Therefore,


more often these are used (in distribution network) rather than the switched
capacitors.

Benefits of Shunt Capacitors on Distribution System

Reactive power compensation i.e. reduction of kVA loading on the source; therefore,
more kW load can be added without augmenting the existing line conductors.

Power factor improvement

14

3.7

Reduction in line current i.e. reduction in lagging component of circuit current

Reduction in power system losses i.e. in both I R (the active power loss) and I X (the
reactive power loss)

Reduction in voltage drop i.e. increase in voltage level at the load end

Reduction in investment in system facilities per kW of load supplied

Advantage No.1 is a direct consequence of installing a shunt capacitor because the


same supplies the reactive demand to the load (kVAR), relieving the system from
extra burden of reactive power. Thus, with reactive power compensation, all other
advantages are automatically achieved.

Vector Representation of Power Factor Improvement


After improving PF from 1 to 2, kVAR is reduced from Q1 to Q2. The difference in
kVAR is due to the capacitor that supplies leading kVAR (Qc) to partially neutralize the
lagging kVAR of the system.
Qc = Q1 Q2

Leading kVAR supplied by capacitor is

Qc = P (tan 1 tan 2)

Fig 2: Voltage Profile of Feeder With & Without Shunt Capacitor

Capacitors produce a voltage rise because of it supplies leading current that


compensates the inductive reactance of the feeder.

As is seen in the above figure, this voltage rise increases linearly from zero at sub
station to its maximum value at the capacitor location.

Between the capacitor location and the remote end (i.e. load end) of the feeder, the
voltage rise due to capacitor is at its maximum value.

16

3.9

When the capacitor voltage-rise profile is combined with the original feeder voltage
profile, the resulting net voltage profile is obtained.

The capacitor increases the voltage level all along the feeder, resulting also in
improved voltage spread.

Proposed permanently connected capacitor application should be checked to make


sure that voltage to some customers near the capacitor location should not exceed the
permissible limits during light load periods.

Switched capacitor application should be checked to minimize the voltage flicker


caused by the switching of the capacitor bank.

The series capacitor produces no voltage effect between the supply source and the

Common Methods of Connecting Capacitors

Fig 5: Common Methods for Connecting Capacitors

Grounded wye and ungrounded wye connections are usually made on high voltage
(HT) circuits; whereas delta, and single-phase connections are usually made on low
voltage (LT) circuits.

Majority of capacitor equipment installed on distribution feeders is connected in


grounded wye.

Advantages of Grounded Wye Connection over Ungrounded Wye Connection

With grounded wye connection, capacitor tanks/frames are at ground potential. This
provides increased personnel safety.

Grounded wye connections provides faster operation of the series fuse in case of a
capacitor failure.

Grounded capacitors can bypass some line surges to the ground and, thus, to some
degree provide a self-protection from transient voltages and lightning surges.

Grounded wye connection also provides a low impedance path for harmonic currents.

19

3.12

If capacitors are electrically connected in ungrounded wye configuration, the


maximum fault current would be limited to three times line current. In case of large
fault current, generally 5000 A, current limiting fuses must be employed.

How Many Capacitors to Install?


The number of capacitors to install to raise the power factor from one value to another
can be computed by using Table-1.

20

TABLE -1

How Many Capacitors to Install


Capacitors are rated in kilovars. The number of capacitor kilovars to be installed can be computed simply from the
following table, For example, with a load of 200 kW at 77% power factor, how many capacitor kilovars are needed to
improve a power factor to 95%?
From the following table select the factor 0.500 that corresponds to the present 77% reading to the right and the
improve power factor 95% reading downward. Then 200 kW x0.500 = 100 kVAR required.

How to Select a Location of a Capacitor?

The application of shunt capacitor to a distribution feeder produces a uniform voltage


boost per unit length of line, out of its point of application toward the remote end.
Therefore, it should be installed as far out on distribution system as possible, close to
load requiring the kVAR.

Many factors influence the location of capacitor such as the number of circuits, the
length of the circuits, variation in load, load factor, type of motors, distribution of
loads, and the load distribution (uniform or other wise).

Maximum loss reduction on a feeder with distributed load is obtained by installing


capacitor banks on the feeder where the capacitor kilovars is equal to twice the
load kilovars. This rule holds whether one or more than one capacitor bank is applied
to a feeder.

Thumb rule for locating a single capacitor bank on a feeder with uniformly
distributed load is that the maximum loss reduction can be obtained when capacitor
kilovars of the bank is equal to two thirds of kilovars load on the feeder. This
bank should be located at two third of the distance out toward the distributed loaded
portion.

To and fro shifting of the capacitor bank location, by as much as 10% of the total
feeder length, from the point of maximum loss reduction, does not appreciably affect
the losses.

Therefore, in order to make the most out of the capacitors loss reduction and voltage
benefits, it is a practice in view of future growth, to apply the capacitor bank just
beyond the optimum loss reduction location.

Computer softwares (mentioned in the chapter Introduction) are used to perform


capacitor placement optimization, to indicate the location where maximum reduction
in losses and voltage drops is achieved.

Capacitor Applications In LT Circuits


Use of shunt capacitors to raise the power factor and subsequently lowering the kVA
demand in LT circuits too, is also recommended.

Procedure for Capacitor Selection


The procedure to select shunt capacitors for LT circuits is explained through an example:
Example
GIVEN:

Existing LT circuit is shown in the Figure-6. Four customers, with


varying off peak loading and power factors, are situated at locations 5,
6, 7, and 8.

DESIRED:

Calculate the optimum number and sizes of fixed capacitors to raise


the power factor to 0.95. Find also the capacity released in kVA
demand.

SOLUTION

Refer the Fig-6 and the table 2.

STEP 1:

Measure sectional off peak kVA demand (or consider it as 40% of the
peak value.)

STEP 2:

Calculate off peak kW, power factor, and kVAR for each section
(table 2).

STEP 3:

Determine the kVAR demand of the sections exhibiting low power


factors.
(Sections 2-6, and 4-8 exhibit low power factor. The kVAR demand in
these sections is 6 kVAR and 28 kVAR respectively.)

STEP 4:

Select fixed capacitor banks of the appropriate size to compensate the


kVAR demand in the troubled sections.

24

(A 6 kVAR fixed capacitor bank is selected for section 2 - 6 and,


20 kVAR capacitor bank for section 4 - 8.)
STEP 5:

Calculate the new power factor in the affected sections and compare it
with the actual measurements.
(Power factor are improved from 0.80 to 1.0 in the section 2-6 and
from 0.70 to 0.95 in the section 4-8.)

STEP 6:

Calculate the new kVA demand in section 2-6 and 4-8 based on
improved power factors.
(This is 6 kVA and 29.5 kVA respectively.)

STEP 7:

Calculate the value of released kVA by subtracting new kVA demand


from the existing kVA demand.
(Existing kVA demand

= 60.0 kVA

New kVA demand

= 47.28 kVA

Net capacity released

= 12.72 kVA )

4. PLANNING PROCEDURE
4.1

Rehabilitation/Renovation/Augmentation of HT Distribution Network


4.1.1 Selection Criteria / Guidelines for HT Network to be rehabilitated
i) The annual losses of a feeder include both technical as well as administrative losses,
and thus, do not give the true picture of losses to be reduced by technical measures. It
is possible that a feeder has more administrative loss but less technical loss and
similarly, there might be a feeder with less administrative loss but more technical
loss. Therefore, while bifurcating, reconductoring, or installing capacitor this should
be kept in view and selection must be based on technical loss of the feeder.
ii) The feeders selected for rehabilitation/renovation should be based on their peak load,
length, technical/geographical aspects and keeping in view the particular problems of
the area to achieve the maximum benefits not only in term of reducing losses and
improving in voltage drop but also to provide stable/uninterrupted power supply to
the customer.
It means that higher priority should be given to those 11 kV feeders, which are
heavily loaded and contribute high technical losses to the system and high voltage
drop at the customers end.
iii) No doubt, the load and the loss on a particular feeder are the main criteria for
bifurcation of a feeder but in some cases a lightly loaded but lengthy feeder also
requires bifurcation to reduce the line losses, improve the voltage drop and reliability
of supply.
iv) In some cases bifurcation of a feeder is required, where technical parameters i.e.
%AEL and % VD are almost within limits but the feeder is running over loaded (e.g.
near 400 A.) Here, bifurcation of the feeder is necessary in order to avoid unnecessary
trippings due to overloading.
v) Bifurcation of a feeder in some cases is also required at the time of creation of a new
sub division to avoid sharing of load between sub divisions or for inter-adjustment of
feeders of different divisions/sub divisions.

28

vi) Each and every feeder involved in the particular proposal should be evaluated
technically on the basis of latest data collected from field formation, and only those
feeders should be selected which contribute high energy loss and voltage drop. Thus
as per existing condition of the network, only those proposals should be executed
which give maximum technical as well as financial benefits.
The required Benefit/Cost ratio for HT proposals for the year 2003-04 is as under:
For Reconductoring, Bifurcation & Area Planning Proposals

> = 2.0

For the subsequent years the Benefit/Cost ratio for HT proposals may be taken as
under or as its amendment issued later on:
a) For Reconductoring Proposals
b) For Bifurcation & Area Planning Proposals

> = 1.5
> = 2.0

The main criteria for proposal selection is the B/C ratio, however, following
method may be adapted where needed, for prioritization of proposals:

Over all weight of HT proposal = 50%(weight of % AEL)+ 30%( weight of % VD)


+ 20% (weight of B/C Ratio)
Thus, the proposals getting larger overall weight should be given higher priority.
In this way a list of proposals may be sorted out and prioritized.
vii) In certain cases where a feeder needs to be rehabilitated/renovated due to some
particular problems but it does not fulfill the above criteria of selection, then
29

proposal may be developed subject to the condition that benefit cost ratio as given
above is achieved, and in those cases where benefit cost ratio is not achieved, the
same may be carried out under DOP head, if at all considered essential /
inevitable requirement of the field. (See details on page 109.)
4.1.2 Development of HT Proposal (Phase-I)

i.

Operation formation will develop the HT proposal and submit to P&D directorate
along with following information/documents for further scrutiny/approval.
Data/Information Collection
(a) Purpose to generate the proposal
(b) Single line diagram (90) of existing and proposed network as per Format-I,
indicating conductor size, transformer rating, node to node distance, capacitor size
and disconnecting switch, etc.
(c) Survey of Pakistan (SOP) or geographical maps marked with single line diagram
indicating existing and proposed situations on separate sheets as per Format-II
(d) Pole-to-pole geographical map of existing and proposed situations of feeders as per
Format-III

Assistant/Dy manager concerned and countersigned by Dy manager (Technical) of
the Circle as per sample given under Format-VII
(k) Single geographical maps marked with all the feeders, one map each for existing and
proposed situations, in case of Area Planning proposal (where more than one feeders
are involved)
ii.

Technical Analysis and Other Important Parameters Kept in View for Technical
Analysis

(a) Load flow studies of existing and proposed situation of feeders (with and without
capacitor) should be carried at peak load (without growth) by using FDRANA or
PSS-Adept soft wares (already available in each DISCO.)
(b) The results of existing and proposed conditions (with and without growth) at zero
year study should be compiled as per Formats-VIII (A&B) & IX (A&B)
respectively.
(c) Net benefits/savings in losses that would be achieved (with & without growth) should
be calculated as per Formats-X (A&B).
(d) The average power factor of 11kV feeder may be calculated by taking the reading of
kWh and kVARh meters installed at grid stations or power factor meter, if available.
If power factor reading is not available, then assume the power factor as under:
0.80
0.85
0.95

for Rural feeder


for Urban feeder
for Under Ground System

(e) The average load factor may be calculated by using the formula as given below:
Units Sent
Average Load Factor

, or
8760 x PF x Peak kVA
Average Load

=
Maximum Load

31

If the actual load factor is not available, then it should be assumed as under:
i)
ii)
iii)

for Urban feeder


for Urban/Rural
for Rural

60%
50%
40%

For more than one feeders, having different load factors, overall weighted average
load factor should be calculated as below:

LF1 x PL1+LF2 x PL2+LF3 x PL3+


Weighted Load Factor =
PL1+PL2+PL3+
Where, LF stands for Load Factor,
and
PL stands for Peak Load and is taken in Amp.
In case actual load factor is not found to be close to the above-mentioned values,
the case shall be discussed with Director (Distribution Planning). For industrial
feeders and continuous process industries, especially where independent feeders are
proposed, the actual load factors shall be computed.
iii.

Cost Estimation

(a) Geographical (pole to pole) showing the complete scope of work involved in the
proposals as per Format-XI
(b) BOQ /Cost Estimate of proposed work in co-ordination with Construction formation
as per Work Order Format-XII
(c) Cost estimation is to be carried out according to the prevailing store issue rates of
each DISCO (i.e. 12% in built rates). Installation charges will be taken @ 8%.
(d) Dismantlement charges should be taken @ 5% and reinstallation of dismantled
material should be taken as 10%. All dismantled but not reusable material will be
taken as per respective DISCOs disposal rates. For all dismantled transformers
carrying no name plates, the cost will be taken as 50% of the current prices.
Transformers with name plates will have depreciated value, but not less than 50% of
the current price.

32

iv.

Benefit/Cost Analysis
Benefit /Cost calculation shall be carried out (as per Format-XIII) as follows:
Annual Benefits (Rs) 0.04 (NFC) (0.60 x 0.143) (RFC)
with Growth
B/C Ratio =
0.143 (NFC)
Where,
NFC

stands for New Facility Cost (Rs)

RFC

stands for Replaced Facility Cost (Rs)

0.04

O&M charges (4% per annum)

0.60

Depreciation Factor for Replaced Facility

0.143

Capital Recovery Factor (CRF) is the calculated @ 14% opportunity cost


of capital for equipment life of 30 years
(1 - i)n x i

CRF =
(1 + i)n i
n

is the period of study (here 30 years)

is the interest rate (here 14 %)

Benefit with Growth (Rs) = Valuation Factor x Benefit with Growth (kW)
Valuation Factor should be calculated as:
Valuation Factor = Loss Factor x 8760 x Unit Purchase Rate
Where,
Unit Purchase Rate is in Rs/kWh of the respective DISCO, and
8760 are number of hours in a year,

33

Loss Factor = 0.3 (Load Factor) + 0.7 (Load Factor) 2


Load Factor should be calculated as discussed above under item ii (d).
Benefit at growth should be calculated as:
Benefit with Growth (kW) = [((1/Loss Factor) x Savings with Fixed capacitor at off
peak load) + Savings with Switched capacitor at peak
load + (Growth Factor x Savings with Reconductoring
& Bifurcation at peak load )] ------(A)
Where Growth Factor

= 1.196 at 5% load growth for 5-year study period *

* Refer to Annexure-XVI for the Growth factors.


It is suggested that the load flow studies of existing and proposed systems
should be carried out at 5% load growth for 5 years study, and the savings / benefits
should be added directly (in formula A) without multiplying by the growth factor.
Benefit with Growth (Rs.) = Benefit with Growth (kW) x Valuation Factor
Note: As per prevailing practice, in case of reconductoring and bifurcation, load
flow studies of existing and proposed systems are carried out without growth,
and savings / benefits are calculated with growth by multiplying with the
growth factor (1.196) as mentioned above in formula (A).
4.1.3 Approval of Proposal (Phase-II)
a) The proposal supplied by operation staff will be scrutinized/checked by P&D section,
and within 14 days of receipt of proposal, P&D will be bound to submit the
proposal/B.O.Q to Manager Project Construction for any right of way or other
problems.
b) Manager Project construction will return the proposal in next one week.
c) After making necessary corrections pointed out by the Manager Project Construction
in the estimate, Sr Manager P&D will get approval of CE or CEO in next one week
and convey the formal approval along with the Work Order to Manager Project

34

Construction, Manager Operation Circle, Manager Material Management and Finance


Director of the company.
4.1.4 Execution of Proposal (Phase-III)
Manager Project Construction will be bound to complete the whole work within 60
days of issue of Work Order and to intimate to all the concerned.
4.1.5 Completion Report (Phase-IV)

load as per approved plan in coordination with GSO/Operation formation within 10
days and hand over the work to Operation formation. After energizing/shifting the
load, Manager Project Construction will submit the completion report to P& D
Directorate for inspection as per Format-XIV.
4.1.6 Inspection/Completion Certificate (Phase-V)
All completed works will be finally checked/inspected 100% for all technical
parameters quality and quantity of ELR and DOP by Director (P&E).
He will check/inspect completed work within 30 days of receipt of completion
report from Manager Project Construction and issue completion certificate as per
Format-XV, if the work has been executed according to the approved plan and as per
WAPDA SDI. The check should not ignore even a single missing bolt.

4.2

Rehabilitation/Renovation/Augmentation of LT Distribution Network


4.2.1 Selection Criteria / Guidelines for LT Network to be Rehabilitated
Higher priority is given to those areas where
i.

Distribution transformers are running beyond 80% loading.

ii.

LT line is lengthy, service to service connections exist, and consequently, the


technical parameters (i.e. % VD and % AEL) go beyond permissible limits.

iii.

Such LT proposals should be executed, which give maximum technical as well as


financial benefits.

The required Benefit/Cost ratio for LT proposals is as under:


Benefit/Cost Ratio

>=1

The main criteria for proposal selection is the B/C ratio, however, following method may
be adapted where needed, for prioritization of proposals:

Over all weight of LT proposal = 25%(weight of % AEL)+ 15%( weight of % VD)


+ 40%( weight of % Loading of T/F) + 20% (weight of B/C ratio)
Thus, the proposals getting larger overall weight should be given higher priority.
In this way a list of proposals may be sorted out and prioritized.
iv. In certain cases where a feeder needs to be rehabilitated/renovated due to some
particular problems but it does not fulfill the above criteria of selection, then
proposal may be developed subject to the condition that benefit cost ratio as given
above is achieved, and in those cases where benefit cost ratio is not achieved, the
same may be carried out under DOP head, if at all considered essential /
inevitable requirement of the field. (See details on page 109.)
4.2.2 Development of LT Proposal (Phase-I)
1. Operation Sub Division of each DISCO shall identify, and intimate to Operation
Circle, the high-loss LT network that requires rehabilitation or bifurcation.
2. Operation Division will develop the LT proposal and submit to P & D Directorate
along with the following information/documents for further scrutiny/approval.
i. Data/Information Collection
(a) Purpose to generate the proposal
(b) Pole-to-pole geographical of existing and proposed network as per Formats-I & II
respectively, indicating conductor size, transformer rating, node to node distance,

ii. Technical Analysis and Other Important Parameters to be Kept in View for
Technical Analysis
(a) Load flow studies of existing and proposed situations of LT network should be
carried at peak load of transformer (with & without growth) by using FDRANA
software (already available in each DISCO.)
(b) Average load per single-phase customer has also been revised as under:
i. Urban Areas
Single Phase customers falling in urban areas have been divided into following
categories:

Posh Localities: Load per S/Phase customers is considered as 4 kVA.

Localities other than posh areas: Load per S/Phase customers is considered
as 2 kVA.

Three-phase load should be taken as per sanctioned load.


ii. Rural Areas
For rural areas, load per single-phase customers is considered as 1 kVA.
Three-phase load should be taken as per sanctioned load.
A committee of Dy Manager Operation Division & Dy Manager (Technical)
Operation Circle concerned can recommend to revise/enhance the loads. If needed, in
particular areas, where the load as mentioned above are not applicable, it can be
revised with the approval of Chief Engineer/Technical Director.
(b) Annual load growth should be taken as 5% for 5-years study period. The results of
existing and proposed conditions at zero year study and five years study should be
compiled as per Formats-VI(A&B) & VII(A&B) respectively.
(c) Net benefits/savings in losses that would be achieved, should be indicated as per
Format-VIII(A&B).
(d) Assume the power factor as under for load flow studies:
0.80
0.85
0.95

Cost Estimation

(a) Geographical (pole to pole) showing the complete scope of work involved in the
proposals-Format-II
(b) BOQ /Cost Estimate of proposed work in coordination with Construction staff as per
Work Order Format-IX
(c) Cost estimation is to be carried out according to the prevailing store issue rates of
each DISCO (i.e. 12% in built rates). Installation charges will be taken @ 8%.
(d) Dismantlement charges should be taken @ 5% and reinstallation of dismantled
material should be taken as 10%. All dismantled but not reusable material will be
taken as per respective DISCOs disposal rates. For all dismantled transformers
carrying no name plates, the cost will be taken as 50% of the current prices.
Transformers with name plates will have depreciated value, but not less than 50% of
the current price.
(a) Transformer removed if is in OK condition, should be returned to store @ 5% less
than present value.

Selection Criteria/Guidelines for Distribution Network to be Rehabilitated Under


DOP
For works as under, there is no need to calculate B/C ratio, as some of them are required
by special instructions of the Authority, and still other works are essential liability of the
DISCO. Hence, such rehabilitation works are done under Distribution of Power (DOP).

Construction of feeders due to addition of 132 kV new transformer, new 132 kV grid
station, Conversion from 66 kV to 132 kV, and Augmentation of power transformer to
relieve a nearby overloaded grid station.

Rehabilitation of feeder by replacement of conductor, pole, structure or introduction of new


ones by mid spanning (to reduce span length).

Deteriorated conductor ( with broken strands) or a conductor with more / unacceptable


number of joints may be replaced on top priority basis. This holds for conductors of any size.

Augmentation of distribution transformer (with higher capacity) due to addition of new


general connections / increase of load by individual customers.

Replacement of off-size conductor, etc. may be carried out under DOP.


Off size conductor (GSL, Gnat, Copper) may also be replaced on top priority basis.

The copper conductor will be removed in he presence of a standing committee


comprising the following officers:

i.
ii.
iii.
iv.

Dy Manager (CM&O) of the DISCO


Assistant Manager (Planning) of the DISCO

5. PLANNING CRITERIA
Planning criteria are the principles and prescribed limits on the basis of which the system
is planned, designed, and operated. Fundamental or primary planning criteria applicable
to distribution network are Voltage, Power factor, Capacity, Reliability, and Technical
losses, etc. In effect they define what should or should not be considered a problem with
respect to system loading, voltage profile, and reliability. These are the parameters that
define the threshold (limits) of acceptable distribution performance. If the system is
planned and designed to operate within prescribed limits, normally the technical losses
remain within acceptable limits.
There are many types of limits of electrical equipment e.g. thermal capacity and
economic loading, etc. In distribution system planning the ultimate criteria is the
economic one. The system is planned and designed following those technical limits with
which minimum possible / unavoidable and technical / economic losses, and maximum
economic and financial benefits accrue from the system. That is why, usually, the system
equipment is not run on full rated capacity, but on economical one (which may be less
than that).
The planner of the distribution power system is guided by the following general
principles:

Under normal operating condition i.e. with no system component fault, all equipment will
operate within normal ratings; and the system voltages will be within permissible limits
when the system is operating anywhere from the minimum load to forecasted maximum
peak load.

Under system emergency condition i.e. with the system or the equipment at fault, the
power equipment may be operated with overloaded or/and under voltage for the limit and
for a specific period. Planning is based on normal and emergency power equipment
ratings. Emergency ratings are those, which the equipment can safely withstand for a
specified period.
Feeders exceeding these criteria should be considered for improvements to bring
them within permissible limits. Sound engineering judgement must be used in applying
these criteria.

114

5.1

Power Factor
Power factor shall be maintained close to 0.95 lagging. For the purpose of converting
Amperes to MW, use 0.85 power factor.

5.2

Recommended Feeder Loading


The capacity of a feeder is function of the feeder length and the distribution of the loads
along the feeder. The purpose of establishing current carrying capacity criteria for
planning is to initiate the planner to review a feeder that may be in violation based on
existing as well as forecasted load.
The recommended loadings of 11 kV feeder is adopted as follows:
11 kV

4.7 MVA

Thermal Capability
The demand carrying

ability of all the elements of an electrical device is its


distribution items have nameplate ratings that denote
designed to handle. For example, conductors have given
that vary greatly over different ambient temperatures/

Economic and recommended loadings are substantially less than the thermal
rating.
Voltage Drop
During peak / off peak conditions, voltage at any point on the system is permitted
to drop within permissible limits before improvements can be justified.
Reliability
The objective of reliability criteria is to reduce the outage frequency.

115

Maximum Permissible Voltage Drop & Losses

The maximum permissible voltage drop & AEL (technical part)


for distribution network are as under:

LT Circuit

Note:
The operating limits as recommended above should be maintained. However, where these
parameters are hard to be maintained, then the existing system should be compared with the
proposed facility and if substantial benefits in terms of reduction of energy loss and voltage drop
are achieved, the proposal may be carried out keeping in view the geographical configuration of
the feeder particularly in certain areas like Baluchistan, etc. The benefit /cost ratio should also be
kept in view.

PROCEDURE FOR DETERMINATION OF ECONOMIC


TRANSFORMER SIZE
Step-I
Loading

Determine the customer summer peak loading (3 hours equivalent) or winter peak
loading (8 hours equivalent) in kVA. The following are the recommended values:

Load Type

Recommended Summer Peak


Loading Value per Customer
(kVA)

Domestic (Rural)

Domestic (Urban
Low Income)

Domestic (Urban
High Income)

Small commercial

Large commercial

Step-II
Groth Rate

Determine the annual load growth rate. The following are the
recommended values for per customer growth:

Load Type

Recommended Per Customer


Growth Rate of Demand of
Existing Customers (%)

Rural

Urban Low Income

Urban High Income

121

Step-III
The procedure for selecting an economic distribution transformer size is explained
through an example:
Example

Solution

Category wise number of customers in a high-income urban area:


i)
ii)

Domestic customers
Big shops

= 20
=7

a)

Peak loading on transformer due to different categories of customers is


calculated as under:

i)

Domestic customers

= 20 x 4= 80 kVA

ii)

Big shops

= 7 x 4 = 28 kVA

Total
b)

108 kVA

Projected growth rate

= 9% (being a high income area)

Consult transformers economic loading curves (Fig 7 and Fig 8) and locate the
point where the coordinate of 108 kVA peak loading would meet the coordinate of 9%
growth rate as shown in Fig 9. The most economic transformer in this case is a 200 kVA.
This transformer will remain in service for 7 years after which it should be replaced with
the next higher size of 400 kVA.
The No. of years for which this transformer will remain in service can be
calculated as below:
Transformer Installed (kVA) = (1 + r)n x Peak Loading of Transformer (kVA)
Where

r = Load Growth Rate


n = No. of Years

By putting the values in the above formula,

200

= (1 + .09)n x 108

(200/108)

= (1.09)n

122

ln (200/108)

= ln (1.09)n

ln (1.852)

= n x ln (1.09)

= ln (1.852)/ln(1.09) = 7.15 7 years

11 kV Transformer Loading
For Planning:

Loading of distribution transformer under normal

condition

should not exceed 80 % of its kVA rating, this limit is an indicator


to put up a plan for replacement.

For Operation:

Loading of distribution transformer under normal

condition

should not exceed 100 % of its kVA rating.

Loading of distribution transformer under emergency condition


should not exceed 110 % of its kVA rating for three (3) hours if
ambient temperature is less than 40C, and prior and post
emergency loading of transformer is 64 % or as recommended by
the transformer manufacturer.

CONSTRUCTION OF 11 KV MULTIPLE CIRCUITS


1. The double circuit lines shall only be constructed using 40 feet steel structures. 36
feet steel structures / PC poles shall not be used for this purpose.
2. The construction of new double circuit 11 kV feeders, in congested areas, on 40 feet
steel structures, is recommended / preferred. However, in case of their nonavailability, double circuit may be strung on 36 feet steel structures / PC poles by
using 2nd LT hole from the top and not by extending the height. In this way
requisite clearances between the two 11 kV circuits and the ground will be attained.
This will only be applicable where composite lines are not to be run. For composite
lines, the only solution is the use of 40 feet steel structures for 11 kV double circuit
feeders.
3. Similarly, the triple circuit may be run preferably on 45 feet steel structures / PC
poles but in case of their non-availability, 40 feet steel structures / PC poles may be
used by omitting the LT circuit. The 2nd LT hole from the top may be used for the
third 11 kV circuit. It may, however, be pertinent to note that the purchasing
agencies may be requested for timely procurement of 40 feet and 45 feet steel
structures as per requirements to avoid the use of low height steel structures /
PC poles to become a regular practice.

which have occurred during a specified period of time (most severe condition
imposed on system either in terms of thermal loading or voltage drop.)
This is the sum total of all the demands of all the circuits that occur
simultaneously during that period.
3. Diversified or Coincident Demand
It is the demand of a composite group of loads imposed on system over a specified
interval of time.
4. Coincident Factor
It is a ratio of maximum coincident demand of a composite group of customers
(occurring at the same time interval) to the sum of the maximum demands of
individual customers comprising the group (occurring at different time intervals). It is
reciprocal of diversity factor.
5. Non Coincident Demand
It is sum of the demands of a group of loads irrespective of the time interval to which
each demand is applicable. The maximum non coincident demand is indicative of
(sum total of) average individual maximum demands.

6. Demand Factor
This is the ratio of maximum demand to the connected load of the system.
It indicates the degree to which the total connected load is served simultaneously.
7. Utilization Factor
This is the ratio of maximum demand of the system to the rated capacity of the
system.
It indicates the degree to which a system is being loaded during peak load with
respect to its capacity.
8. Load Factor
It is the ratio of average load over a specified period of time to peak load occurring in
that period. In fact, load factor indicates the degree to which the peak load is
sustained during the period.
9. Load Diversity
It is the difference between the sum of peaks of two or more individual loads
(occurring at different time intervals) and the peak of the combined load (occurring at
the same time interval).
10. Diversity Factor
It is the ratio of the sum of the individual maximum demands of various sub divisions
of a system (occurring at any/ different time intervals) to the actual maximum
demand (occurring at the same time interval) of the whole system (it is greater
than 1). It is reciprocal of coincident demand.
OR
It is the ratio of the sum total of all the maximum demands of the various circuits
to the actual maximum demand of the system.
It is, generally, of the order of 1.25.

135

11. Loss Factor

SOME IMPORTANT FORMULAS


Following are some useful formulae. Care must be taken for the system of units while
using the values for the parameters in these formulas.

1. Maximum load current


with growth

= I x (1+r)n

(amp)

where, I = max load current,


r = growth rate,
n = number of years
2. Total feeder demand
Without growth = 3 x I x V,
With growth = 3 x I x (1+r)n x V,
where, V = Bus voltage = 11 kV
Max (power eqpt) demand (kVA)
3. Demand Factor

=
Total connected load (kVA)

Where, power equipment means a dist. feeder, T/F, or G/S etc.


3 x I (Amp) x 11 (kV)
=
Total connected load (kVA)

Average load in a certain period (kVA)


4. Load Factor

=
Peak load in the same period (kVA)

Energy consumed during


a period (kWh)
Average load factor

=
Peak demand (kW) x No. of Hours
in the period

138

Units sold (kWh)


Average load factor (yearly) =
8760 x PF x peak load (kVA)

Energy consumed during


a period (units sent)
Monthly load factor at G/S level

=
Peak demand (kW) x No. of Hours
in the month

Monthly load factor at T/F level

= Load factor at G/S level x Coincidence


Factor between demand at G/S and demand at
distribution T/F level

Therefore, energy can be used as a means of checking peak load data. By using
historical monthly load factor, a comparison of demand and energy consumption will
indicate if any major metering discrepancy appears to exist.

for three phase AC lines,
(voltage drop between phases)
= I (r Cos +x Sin )
for three phase AC lines,
(voltage drop between phase & neutral)

Where, V = rms voltage drop = Max voltage / 2,


V = rms voltage drop, (volt per km of line),
Max voltage = system voltage = 11000 V in HT of Dist. T/F,
I = rms current in each conductor (amp), = Max current / 2,

If r and x are expressed in ohm per mile or per 1000 feet, the formula is:
I (r Cos +x Sin ) d
Percentage voltage drop (%) =

Where, d = distance in miles or in thousands of feet.


In a balanced three phase system,
