OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE OF GRID AND DISTRIBUTION SUBSTATION AND SYSTEM OPERATION OF DESCO

Abstract

The power sector of Bangladesh haves faced numerous problems characterized by lack of supply capacity, frequent power cuts, Among the three main components of the power system, recent reform activities were centered on generation and transmission. This report is based on my internship activities which I have done at DESCO (Dhaka Electric Supply Company Limited). This report focuses on the operation of DESCO, their vision, supply capacity, financial condition, distribution of electricity and future planning. Internship is such an opportunity to learn those activities that are related to our real engineering world. During my internship period, I have been able to gather some knowledge on grid-substation, transformer and their maintenance and the power factor improvement which are closely related to my study materials. I have also observed their administrative activities of control room; complain room operation, IT (Information & Technology) and one point operation which will surely help me to visualize the effectiveness in my practical life.
