circuits. In small power systems, the sub-transmission level may coincide with the
distribution level.
The distribution level consists of the distribution circuits in the overall region of
distribution. The larger consumers. i.e. high tension (H.T.) have been termed as primary

distributors while low tension (L.T.) consumers are the secondary distributors. The
consumers consuming energy between 3kV and 23kV are H.T. consumers while the
consumers in the category of 110 V-400/440 V lie in the class of secondary or L.T.
consumers. The increasing demand on the electrical energy has led not only to
diversification of the generation. transmission and distribution network but also raised the
points of proper utilisation and reliability of the electric power. This, in turn, has
necessitated the pooling of larger number of power Systems into a common grid and
consequently insisting for proper scheduling of generation and demand. It also turned out
that the incorporation of a large number of systems into a common grid makes the
operation of the entire system very sensitive to the operating conditions. Thus in addition
to the study of power system operation, the knowledge of power system ontrol is very
much required in order to run the system economically and to maintain a continuous
balance between generation and varying load demand. In one way, the problems of
dynamic and transient stability, steady state stability, voltage and frequency regulation,
power optimisation need to he properly analysed and on the other hand. a methodology of
overall system control is to be devised. Digital computers are the most effective tool for
the analysis of a power system.
