Abstract:

During the last few years the catastrophic failure of power system of WAPDA have been experienced throughout the entire country and it seems that the frequency of their occurrence has increased recently and the power networks are becoming more worse day by day. It look quite appropriate to point out the interconnected system of transmission line of 500/220/132/66/11 KV level spread over the wide area of the country are mostly coupled, highly sensitive and so frequently vulnerable to failure causes cascade tripping of transmission lines/transformers due to technical as well as human errors. The aim of the research work is to develop an operation and control strategy in the existing system of WAPDA network which philosphyis to convert complete power black out in to partial breakdown by the approach of Zoning/Island formation in a specific area to solve the various issues which arises during the restoration of power supply and cause safe and quick restoration.
