Abstract

Electric distribution system power quality is a growing concern. Customers require higher quality service due to more sensitive electrical and electronic equipment’s. The effectiveness of a power distribution system is measured in terms of efficiency, service continuity or reliability, service quality in terms of voltage profile and stability and power distribution system performance. In the context of Debre Markos water pump station, electric power interruption is becoming a day to day phenomenon. Even there are times that electric power interruption occurs several times a day for short and long period of time. This research presents a method for power quality assessment by considering the 23MVA, 230/15 kV transformer with one 15 kV outgoing transmission feeder line at Debre Markos substation to supply two water pump booster stations.
