3.1.1

Project Discussion
The first step to be taken before done the project is by conducting a project discussion

with group members to share ideas about the project given. Besides that, in order to ensure
whether the ideas gather is correct or not, discussion with lecturer must be done too.
3.1.2

Calculate Power Losses and Investment

Then total cost for losses for no-load is computed and tabulated. The losses are measured

in terms of cost and no-load losses, then the load losses are totaled. For every 1MW of losses, the
cost charged is RM400. Thus the losses are converted from power, W to Ringgit, RM to ease the
decision making.
3.1.3

Analyze the Selection of Transformer

Analyze the transformer selection in order to choose and achieve the minimum life-cycle

cost. Next, analyze the cable sizing of transformer according to the international technical
standards.
3.1.4

Compare Calculation between the Transformer A and B

To achieve minimum life-cycle cost, the results between transformer A and B need to be

compare and choose. The calculation of power factor, losses and investment for 24 hours need to
compare.
3.1.5

Selection of Transformer
After done comparing the calculation, choose the best transformer that will produce

average low cost of losses.
