What is load shedding?

What is load shedding?

What is load shedding? There is an idea in the minds of common people that power outages are load shedding. What is the reality behind this? So today let’s discuss the common man’s ideas and technological realities.

Suppose we want to celebrate your birthday in a great way. You have invited 50 people to this event. You have also ordered 50 packets of biryani from 50 traditional and famous restaurants. In the end, 50 people each brought 1 more person with them.

As a result, the total standing now stands at 100 people. But you only have a packet of biryani. So you have to think of something right now. Then you came up with an idea. You split each packet in half and served it to guests. In short, you didn’t deprive Uke of food.

Electrical substation

You have successfully served guests with only 50 packets. But the deficit remained in one place, the guests could not eat with satisfaction. The load shedding situation is similar to this event. The production and requirements of electricity in the country cannot be the same within 24 hours.

When more electricity is needed but production is less, the electricity supplier comes up with a plan. This plan is similar to when you split 50 packets of biryani. To keep up the extra pressure, they very tactfully cut off the power supply from one region to another. And, this process goes by the name of load shedding.

System damage

Now, let’s explain using an example. Suppose you are given the task of distributing 100 apples to 100 people. Of these, you have sold 30 apples and 20 have rotted. Now, it is clear that you will fail to successfully distribute the remaining 50 apples to 100 people. So the thing is, Apple suppliers have done their job by supplying 100 apples to 100 people, 1 for each, you as a distributor have failed to distribute it among the people.

Similarly, our power distribution companies also fail to do their job. In the end customers still have to read all the problems. This indicates system damage. The example above mentions that a few apples have rotted. This is equivalent to system damage. Due to the damage to this system, there is a huge problem to supply electricity at the consumer level. The power factor reduction system is one of the reasons for the decline.

What is an isolator? And its work.

Lack of proper consistency

Adjustment of center parameters such as power factor, phase shift, frequency, polarization indicator synchronization. At present most of the substations in Bangladesh are analogous. As a result, the substation lacks synchronization. Thus, a power outage occurs. Only a smart grid system can overcome this problem.

Underground power line crisis

In our country, most of the power lines are overhead power lines. As a result, storms, rainfall, and falling trees caused a system malfunction. In rural areas, stormy winds cause more pollution due to more trees.

Faulty device installation

Many times, the power supply company that has delivered the power distribution only installs the faulty devices for their benefit. As a result, regular errors occur. In this case, the moral aspect must be kept in mind.

Invalid connection

Power companies sometimes become unethical and make anunethical connection without a license. The above example refers to the sale ofApple, this event indicates an invalid connection. Which eventually leads to apower outage If we keep in mind the aspects of ethics and accountability, thisproblem can be easily solved.

Annual commission and maintenance negligence

Annual maintenance is usually, at the end of each year, to operate and maintain the substation and pole equipment. Commissioning means finding out if the substation and local poles are in working condition. If not, take strict and supportive measures to correct it. After commissioning, an on-field report must be made to the authorities.

The authorities were then informed and started their work. Authorities then discuss and send a working group for the purpose of maintenance of substations and local poles. However, when making this important decision, the authorities usually neglect the responsibility and make wrong and erroneous decisions.

What is a Lightning Arrester and how does it work?

There is no reason to confuse both load shedding and faultypower supply management. Power supply is disrupted due to many faults. We allhave the experience of splitting electricity for just 1 second. This happensbecause of a very small error in the system, for example, increase the linetension in the distribution line. Such errors can be easily detected using autoreclosers.
