Steam Turbines and their Governors
Steam turbines can have non-reheat, single-reheat or double-reheat.
The steam flow is controlled by the governor. The main amplifier of the governing system and valve mover is an oil servomotor that is controlled by a pilot valve.
Main and reheat stop valves are normally fully open - they are used only during generator start-up and shut down.

Hydropower relies on the water
cycle. Herein:
Solar energy heats water on
the surface, causing it to
evaporate.
This water vapor condenses
into clouds and falls back onto
the surface as precipitation
(rain, snow, etc.).
The water flows through rivers
back into the oceans, where it
can evaporate and begin the
cycle over again
Hydropower is renewable

Concentrating Solar Power (CSP)
CSP technologies use mirrors to reflect and
concentrate sunlight onto receivers that collect the solar
energy and convert it into heat.
This thermal energy can then be used to produce
electricity via a steam turbine or heat engine driving a
generator.
CSP systems are typically classified by how the various
systems collect solar energy. The three main systems
are
The linear system
The tower system
The dish system.

Dry steam plants use steam piped directly from a geothermal reservoir to turn the generator turbines. The first geothermal power plant was built in 1904 in Tuscany, Italy.
Flash steam plants take high-pressure hot water from deep inside the Earth and convert it to steam to drive the generator turbines. When the steam cools, it condenses to water and is injected back into the ground to be used over and over again.

High Voltage Power Lines (overhead)
Common voltages in north America: 138, 230, 345, 500, 765 kV
Bundled conductors are used in extra-high voltage lines
Stranded instead of solid conductors are used.

Cable lines are designed to be placed underground in
urban areas or under water. The conductors are insulated
from one another and surrounded by protective sheath.
Cable lines are more expensive and harder to maintain.
They also have a large capacitance – not suitable for long
distance.

Transmission System Protection
Protective equipment needs to
protect the system from over-
voltages (surge arrestors) and
over-currents (circuit breakers).

Long line series and shunt compensation
Shunt reactors are used to compensate the line shunt
capacitance under light load or no load.
Series capacitors are often used to compensate the
line inductive reactance in order to transfer more power.

The aggregated demand on the system is even smoother, and total load
fluctuations are very small.
The overall daily profile of load can be predicted reasonably well using
forecasting tools.

Seasonal Load Patterns
The local load is dominated by winter and summer patterns, with May
and October as shoulder months.

North American Electrical Interconnections
The power system of North America is divided into four major Interconnections
which can be thought of as independent islands. • Western – Generally everything west of the Rockies.
• Texas - Also known as Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT).
• Eastern – Generally everything east of the Rockies except Texas and Quebec.
• Quebec.

Generation-load balance • As electricity itself cannot presently be stored on a large scale,
changes in customer demand are met by controlling conventional generation, using stored fuels.
• Frequency is maintained as long as there is a balance between resources and customer demand (plus losses). An imbalance causes a frequency deviation.

Generator Scheduling (economic Dispatch)
Given a power system with n generators, and a load forecast, determine the
optimal schedule of each generator while recognizing generating unit limits
and output capability.
