The Causes of Load Shedding

 Load shedding is a terrible thing to experience. Especially in summer. But have we ever wondered what causes load shedding? Load shedding is the shutdown of the power distribution system when the capacity of power is less than the demand. Today we will discuss this topic briefly. 




Load Shedding

Load shedding is an intentional blackout in engineer electrical power shutdown for a time period in different parts of the distribution region. Load shedding depends on the shortage of capacity to meet the demand for electricity. load shedding occurs to avoid a complete blackout of the power system. Blackouts can be localized to a specific part of it can be in the whole country. Sometimes blackouts can happen due to extreme weather. Usually, the blackouts can be caused by insufficient capacity or inadequate infrastructure to deliver power. 


The causes of load shedding

1. System loss

After producing the power the next part is to distribute it among the consumers. But if the supplier somehow wastes the product or the product is not sufficient it will be hard to deliver to the customers. The customers will get insufficient power and this is the power system loss. Due to the failure of the distributor or the waste of product is the system loss.

2. Lack of proper synchronization

Synchronization is the power factor, frequency, phase shift, polarization index. But most of the power station of our country is still analog and in the rural countryside. The power supply is less and as a result, there is a lack of power synchronizing. And the blackout happens. 

3. Shortage of underground power line

There are two types of power lines. One is overhead power lines and the other is underground powerlines. In our country most of the powerlines are overhead and due to natural calamities, damage happens and it affects the power distribution system. In the countryside the damage is much more than the city.

4. Illegal connections

In our country, unethical ways have become very common. Some power distributors give illegal power connections without any registration or legal way. And that's how a big portion of electricity is used without any concern or observation.

5. Defective device installation

For personal profits sometimes distributors use faulty devices. This device causes problems to the distribution system and blackouts and unexpected power disconnection happen. One should keep the moral aspect open for the benefit of a large portion of people. This type of activity causes a waste of power which is unexpected.

What Does It Mean By Dny11 in Transformer?

We often see transformers in our way almost every day, everywhere. We all might have noticed that there is something written in the transformer like Dny11. But we don't know what does it mean? We can guess that the numbers on the transformer windings show the turns ratio between windings. But by reading this article we might confirm this guess.  The first letter D shows that the primary winding configuration is in delta connection. The second small letter n shows that it has the neutral point and the small y shows that it is star connected. Letter 11 shows the phase difference between the primary and secondary connection according to clock configuration. When the clock hands are between 11 and 12 the angle between them is 30 degrees. So, Dny11 means  D- Primary winding in delta connection ny-Secondary winding in star connection with a neutral point 11- There is a phase angle difference of 30 degrees between the primary and secondary line voltages. The secondary line voltage lags by

Why Stones Used in Substation?

The substation is combined with many electrical devices like transformers, isolators, electric lines, etc. Electrical devices are sensitive and have to protect carefully. Usually, the protector of the substation is stone. Isn't it surprising? Have you thought it should be more advanced? In the world of technology why stone is used as a protector? You will be surprised to know the fact that stone is the perfect natural protector. Today I will explain this topic to you. The most important part is the ground potential rise (GPR)  The maximum electrical potential that a substation grounding grid may attain relative to a distant grounding point assumed to be at the potential of remote earth. This voltage GPR is equal to the maximum greed current times the grid resistance. Step voltage: It is defined as the maximum potential difference that exists between the feet when a fault current flows in the body. A particular case of step voltage is the transferred voltage where a voltage is trans

Is the Flow of Electrons and Current Opposite to Each Other?

 The direction of current flow and electrons has been a very common question. It is the most common but most asked question as well. Many have confusions about the answer, we all know that current is the flow of electrons. So why it always have to be the opposite? Why their direction would be different? Today I will try to get you rid out of this confusion.  First of all, we need to know what is current? An electric current is a stream of charged particles, such as electrons and ions, moving through an electrical circuit or space. It is the flow of a positive electric charge. The strength of current flow in any medium depends on the difference of voltage in that medium. It is measured as the total rate of flow of electric charge through a surface or into a control volume.  And electron flow is what actually happens and electrons flow out of the negative terminal, through the circuit, and into the positive terminal of the source. It won't make any difference as long as the current i
