High Voltage Distribution System
Distribution is called the last mile in the power supply chainbeing closest to the consumer.
Its quality controls / governs the consumer satisfaction
However it is the most neglected segment of the power sector formany years due to paucity of funds
Major challenge of reforms process is the up gradation ofDistribution system
-To maintain the Standards of performance fixed by the
Regulator.
--To achieve the targets set Under National Electricity policy.
-- To meet the stipulations of various codes like Supply Codes,Grid code etc., in all its functioning

High Voltage Distribution System
National Electricity Policy stipulates achieving thefollowing targets, among others, by 2012
- Extension Power supply of quality , continuity and reliability
to all areas including rural areas as per the standards fixed
by the respective Commission, meeting the demand in full,all at affordable price.
- Bringing down AT&C losses to 15.5%
Both the targets are of a very tall order, requiring adoptingof every conceivable method of system improvement.

PRESENT STATUS OF DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM
Power supply for few hours on any day. Number of interruptions even during the hours of supply due to
the bad condition of net work.
Poor quality of power supply with low voltages
Growing consumer dissatisfaction. Poor revenue realization
Comparatively higher losses.
Financial status which permits only little investment in the systemimprovement.
Achieving targets set in NEP by 2012, against the above back
ground, calls for drastic changes in the set up.

Low Voltage Distribution System
The two widely prevalent distribution practices invogue across the world are:
Low Voltage Distribution System (LVDS):
It is based on European practice. A Three phase transformer of considerable capacity,
say 63kVA and above, is installed and a large group
of loads are fed through longer LV lines .
This system is best suited to meet the concentratedloads of high load density.

Low Voltage Distribution System
This system is widely adopted in our power sector despitethe contrasting status, particularly in rural areas, of
scattered loads with low load density.
This has resulted in system losses well beyond the tolerablelimits, poor Voltage profile and host of other ills, many a
times compounding in nature

Problems of Existing Distribution
As Power is drawn through longer L.T. lines with higher current,
there is increased power and energy losses
Higher voltage drop in lengthy LT lines resulting in Low Voltages atconsumer end.
Frequent motor burning outs due to low voltage at consumer end andconsequent expenditure on repairsHigher rate of transformer failures due to commonly ocuring defectsin L.T. network and over loading increased expenditure on repairs-increased interruptions to the consumer.
For any transformer failure large number of consumers gettingaffected.
For any delays in replacing failed transformers , damages to standingcrops

Problems of Existing Distribution
As more number of consumers are connected under eachtransformer , more fluctuations.
Higher possibilities for theft of energy by direct hooking to thebare L.T. lines, running in remote areas
More number of interruptions due to the defects in the lengthyL.T net work. lesser reliability
As bare L.T network has only fuse protection ,without anybreaker, Chances for accidents are more by coming in to contact
with snapped bare wires.
Poor quality of supply resulting in lesser end use efficiencyThe above drawbacks are automatically call for adopting a
different distribution system devoid of these defects

High Voltage Distribution System (HVDS):
It is the best remedy for all the prevailing ills in the existing LowVoltage Distribution System (LVDS)
It is based on North American practice.
A Three phase or single phase HV line is taken as near to a smallgroup of loads as possible, and a distribution transformers of smaller
capacities , single phase or three phase transformer as the case may
be , are installed to feed a small group of loads through AB cables
and service wire , such that the length of the LV lines is minimum or
is eliminated altogether.
To the extent LV lines are permitted, they are with insulated ABcables only
This system is best suited to meet the scattered loads of low loaddensity.

Different Types of High Voltage
Distribution System
There are three types of High Voltage distribution system in vogue:
Phase Neutral HVDS (PN-HVDS)
Phase Phase HVDS (PP-HVDS)
Phase-Ground HVDS (PG HVDS)

15/67
Phase-Neutral HVDS
It is widely adopted in North America. Under this system:
- the main line from substation is three-phase 4 wire (3 phases +
Neutral)
-- laterals are single-phase 2 wire line or two-phase 3-wire line orthree-phase 4-wire line depending upon the loads and feeding
arrangement.
Unique feature of the system lies in providing the neutral rightthrough the system, viz from substation to all nodes on the network.
Single-phase Loads:11 KV single phase line (phase neutral) branch isextended from main line and 1 No. 6350/230-0-230 V distribution
transformer is erected to feed single phase loads as shown in Part (A)
of Fig.

Phase-Neutral HVDS
Three-phase loads: Three alternative arrangements for feeding threephase loads are described.
11 KV two-phase 3-wire branches are extended from the main lineand 2 Nos. of single-phase 6350/230-0-230 V distribution transformer
is connected, star on HV side and open delta on LV side to feed three-
phase loads, as shown in part (B) of Fig. Effective capacity of thetransformer bank is 86.6% of the total capacity of 2 transformers. Ie.
. if 2 No.s 10 kVA, transformers are used ,maximum 3 ph. load that
Can be fed is 17.32 kVA
11 KV three-phase, 4-wire line is extended and 3 Nos. 6350/230-0-230 V single phase transformers are connected, star- delta to feedthree-phase loads as shown in Part (C)of Fig.
Existing 11 KV three-phase 4-wire line is extended and three-phaseDelta/Star distribution transformer is used as shown in art D of Fi .

Phase - Ground HVDS
It is similar to Phase- Neutral HVDS in all respects exceptthat ground is used as return path and neutral wire is notprovided all along the system.
The transformer HV neutral or star point on HV side (when
more than one transformer is used) is earthed solidly atevery location, and thereby ground is used as return path.
This system is used in certain parts of North America andAustralia.
Since ground forms return path, soil resistivity plays a keyrole.
Good quality of earthing is required for the safety of

Phase - Ground HVDS
It is unsuitable to Indian conditions due to technical and practical reasonslike :
Since ground is used for return path of the current, the soil resistivityof the area plays a vital role. The system may be hazardous in areas
where soil resistivity is high.
Good quality Earthing is required for the safety of personnel andanimals. The code of practice stipulates that the voltage rise ie., Load
current x and resistance of HV earthing system, at the point of
Earthing shall not exceed 20 V.
Providing effective Earthing and ensuring its maintenance throughoutthe period at a number of locations in rural areas is beset with severalpractical problems.
Interference with telecommunication lines.

Advantages under HVDS
All the ills of LVDS get eliminated under HVDS
a)Drastic Reduction in system losses, both Power and energy losses
(In S.ph.HVDS energy losses are 13% of that in LVDS)
b) Improvement in system voltage profile (In S.ph.HVDS vol.drop is
10% of that in LVDS)
c)Reduction in possibilities for theft of energy by direct hooking from
LT linesas the LV lines are virtually eliminated and even the short LV
lines required are of AB cable..
d) Reduction in transformer failures as there will be no over loading andminimum or no LT line defects.
. Lesser interruptions, lesser delays in replacement of failed transformers
and lesser damage to standing crops .Better consumer satisfaction

Advantages under HVDS
e)Increase in end use efficiency causing better delivery of water,drawing lesser current.
g)Sense of ownership of the transformer develops among theconsumers as the transformer caters to only two to three consumers)
Possibilities for fluctuations get reduced due to fewer consumers.
i) 11KV lines are controlled by breakers and LT lines are of ABcables. Chances for accidents due to snapping of conductors get
reduced.
J) With increase in the reliability of supply and better end use
efficiency resulting in higher delivery of water, 2 crops are beingraised increasing productivity.
k) Improvement in voltage profile, brings down cases of consumersmotor burning out drastically.

8/10/2019 HVDS basic
23/67
Advantages under HVDS
l) Better socio economic development in rural areas. m) In case of any failure of a transformer only 2to3 consumers
will be affected.
n) In view of reduction in losses, additional loads can be fed
with the same generation , without adding any new capacity. o) schemes covering conversion of LVDS to HVDS are eligible forSale carbon emission reductions (CMRs) under Clean Development
Mechanism (CDM) . This additional benefit to the utilities will bring
down the Pay back period to a considerably lesser time frame
p) LT line maintenance is almost absent No tree cutting is requiredfor LT lines

Advantages of HVDS compared to LVDS
System is more reliable because:
The LV lines are short and insulated, avoiding all LV faults. The faults on HT line comes to the notice of the operator immediately
due to the tripping of substation breaker.
The failure of transformer affects only a very small number of
consumers served by it. Voltage fluctuations: The voltage drop on the LV line is negligible.
The additional drop due to extension of HV line up to consumer
premises is also negligible. Thus the voltage profile is very stable and
there is no need to use voltage stabilizer.
With least or No possibilities for theft of energy , load management iscomparatively easier

Advantages of S ph. HVDS compared
to LVDS
The important drawbacks of LVDS and the way in which these areautomatically solved by adopting popular PhaseNeutral HVDS are:
Line Losses:The loss in Sph.HVD system for the distribution of the
same amount of power is less than 1% as compared to that of LV line.
In fact it is lesser than the losses under 3 ph. HVD system
Voltage Drop: The voltage drop for distribution of same quantum of
power is less than 1% as against that in LVDS and this ensures proper
voltage profile at all customer points.
System Power Factor : The single phase motors can be used for all
Agricultural services. The single phase motors have built in capacitorsessentially required for starting the motors.
Thus system power factor is always maintained high with good
capacitive compensation at theload end

Advantages of S ph.HVDS Capital cost is less as Transformer, surge arrestor requiring 1 No.
Instead of 3, protection system cost less in sph.HVDS
compared to 3 ph. system
Protection requirements are simpler
For cost effectiveness new villages with lesser load demand can beelectrified through S ph. HVDS, which can be converted in to 3
ph. HVDS once the load picks up
Thus if Existing LVD systems are converted in to HVD systemstaking due care of the System improvement aspects in respect of
33 and 11kV Systems, HVDS will prove to be a boon forotherwise tottering Distribution networks.

Strategy for implementation
The strategy for implementation of high voltage distribution system can
be broadly divided into two parts.First part relates to extension of HVDS to meet new loads. This
ensures that the new distribution system built is energy efficient.
Second part relates to conversion of existing LV distribution system
to HVDS.
The two parts are inter dependent and can be executed simultaneously.
-
8/10/2019 HVDS basic
32/67
Part-I of Strategy
The important problems likely to be encountered under this part are
investigated and appropriate solutions are presented.
Manufacture of small capacity single phase transformers which arerobust and fail proof.
Integration of new HVDS with existing LVDS.
Running of continuous neutral wire.
-
8/10/2019 HVDS basic
33/67
Part -II of Strategy
Part II relates to making the existing distribution system energy efficient
by conversion to HVDS.
The work involved in this phase is :
Conversion of existing low voltage lines to single-phase 2-wire HVline.
Replacement of existing three-phase distribution transformers ofconsiderable capacity with small capacity single-phase transformers
Replacing all LT Guy insulators of Stay sets by HT Guy insulators

Discussion
HVDS is technically superior and provides ready solution to theproblems of distribution system.
Capital investment required for building new HVDS is 16.5% lowerthan that of LVDS. The Peak Power loss and energy losses of HVDSare 33% and 18% lower than that of LVDS respectively.
Capital investment required to restructure the existing network asHVDS is marginally cheaper than restructuring the network as LVDS. The peak power loss and energy losses of restructuring HVDS are
lower by 25% and 27% respectively compared to that of LVDS.
The peak power losses and energy losses reduction by restructuring as
HVDS are 80% and 66 % respectively. Restructuring of existing distribution network as HVDS is highly
viable as the pay back period is about 18 months.

35/67
Conclusions
Phase neutral HVDS is identified as the best system among thedifferent HVDS schemes.
HVDS effectively tackles the problems faced by the utilities in theexisting LVDS.
The strategy proposed for implementation of HVDS and itsintegration with the existing network is found to be technicallyfeasible and financially viable.
The cluster based algorithm proposed for restructuring the existingLVDS as HVDS is an effective tool for large scale restructuring of the
existing network. The restructuring of existing LVDS as HVDS is practically feasible
and financially viable.
-
8/10/2019 HVDS basic
36/67
Summing up, the recommendation is that the utilities should adopt
HVDS in place of the prevailing LVDS; extend it to all newextensions; also restructure the existing network as HVDS
simultaneously. This is the only technically feasible and least cost
solution approach for reduction of losses in Low Voltage network.

HVDS construction Practices
HVDS conversion can be in two ways
A)Erecting a new HVDS network altogether, transferring theloads to the new system and dismantling the old system, as is
being adopted in Rajasthan where a large portion of LVDS is
already converted in to HVDS .
Push-fit covers for meters and armoured cabels for service wiresare used to curb thefts.
Where only 1 or 2 services are to be fed, Meters and capacitorsare located in a separate compartment on the backside of the
transformer.
This method permits free flow of work and reduces interruptionsto the consumer during conversion.
But it is costly and suffers from right of way problems.
-

46/67
B) By converting LT 3ph. 4wire into 11kV line to the extentrequired.
No new lines are needed to be laid to execute this new concept.
Re- configuration and modification of the existing lines is done,using the materials that are already in use except for a few items.
ie converting existing LT lines in to 11kV (HT) lines by replacingonly insulators, suspension and tension hardware and x arms,
introducing new stay sets where required etc.
Existing poles are continued except for introducing 9.01 mt polesin the new transformer locations, for obtaining standard
clearances.
If the existing conductors are of adequate size, 3 out of 4 areused dismantling the fourth n is carriedout during the hours when
there is no su l in a ricultural feeders. .

Specific steps needed to derive benefits in full
The new system also requires certain steps to be taken to make itwork successfully.
With increased transformers their maintenance requiresadditional attention, particularly in remote areas. Better to use
Fail proof / Cast Resin transformers.
Perfect Earthing of transformers is essential to lessentransformer failures and accidents, as these locations cannot be
revisited frequently.
HT line shall be maintained systematically, particularly in case oftree trimming, as even a momentary fault will trip the feeder.

Each transformer shall be provided with drop out switches tolocalize the unavoidable interruption.
Measures to prevent theft of oil or winding from transformers ortransformer itself, shall be adopted.
It is equally important to upgrade and strengthen the up stream
systems ie., 11kV and 33 kV systems adequately, to reap thebenefits of change in full.
In either case, survey of existing 3 phase or single phase motorloads has to be carried out ( using tongtester and measuring load
current of each motor
This is required to ensure that small capacity transformers beinginstalled under HVDS do not get over loaded and fail

Max. wind pressure as specified by the State govt.
For cylindrical bodies, the effective area shall be taken as 2/3 of theprojected area exposed to wind pressure
For lattice or compound structures the wind pr. On the lee side shall
be taken as one half of the wind pressure on the windward side
Factor safety shall be calculated on the the crippling loads for thesupports used as struts and up on the Elastic limit of the tension
members
Max. and Minimum temperatures as specified by the State govt. Not withstanding any thing stated above, in locations susceptible forice accumulation loadings to be stated by govt.
