1.0 INTRODUCTION
Electric power transmission is the bulk transfer of electrical energy, from generating power
plants to substations located near to population centers. This is followed by electricity
distribution, which is the final stage in the delivery of electricity to the users. A distribution
system’s network carries electricity from the transmission system and delivers it to consumers’
meter socket. A variety of methods, materials, and equipment are used among the various utility
companies, but the end result is similar. Typically, the network would include medium-voltage
(less than 50kV) power lines, electrical substations and pole mounted transformers, low-voltage
(less than 1 kV) distribution wiring and sometimes electricity meters.
Electrical Distribution is the generation of one or more different types of energy, transform them
into electrical energy and the transformations of this energy for distribution to the point of
consumption for the consumers.
The productions, transmissions of continuous and reliable bulk supply and cost per unit of power
delivered are very important for consumers either for domestic and industrial usage of nation.
These will affect the labor and cost of materials produced by the industries and standard of living
for the people. Electrical energy naturally can be acquired from either non-renewable or
renewable energy resources.
The different types of energy is generate, transform it into electrical energy. The transmission
process will occur to distribute this energy for consumption of consumers. Electrical energy can
be coming from either non-renewable or renewable energy sources. Power plants can produce
AC or DC. Generally AC is used in modern power system because it easy to converted into high
or low voltages by means of transformers.
2.0 OBJECTIVE
1. Identify the transmission and distribution of electricity from Generating Power Plant to
TNB’s substations in Sec. 7 and into various buildings in UiTM Shah Alam
2. Determine the incoming voltages received at a particular building in UiTM Shah Alam.

3.0 LITERATURE REVIEW
3.1 POWER PLANT
The power plant generates 2420 MW of electricity the only power station in Malaysia
with triple fuel firing capability (gas, oil, and coal). In thermal power stations, mechanical power
is produced by a heat engine that transforms thermal energy. Most thermal power stations
produce steam, and these are sometimes called steam power stations. The power plant is referred
to as a cogeneration power plant or CHP (combined heat-and-power) plant. In countries where

district heating is common, there are dedicated heat plants called heat-only boiler stations.
Besides use of reject heat for process or district heating, one way to improve overall efficiency of
a power plant is to combine two different thermodynamic cycles. Most commonly, exhaust gases
from a gas turbine are used to generate steam for a boiler and steam turbine. The combination of
a "top" cycle and a "bottom" cycle produces higher overall efficiency than either cycle can attain
alone.
3.2 PYLON
The term pylon usually refers to a truncated pyramid or tower or an object shaped like one. In
common usage, the term "pylon" is generally taken to refer to any elongate support structure.
Pylon in electrical system is to support the wire that transmit power from the power plant
throughout the country to consumer either medium or small industries. In the other term, when
power is flow on the wire, there will have losses in voltage, so the voltage will in pylon wires is
high voltage different from unipole.

3.3 TRANSFORMER
Device that transfers electric energy from one alternating-current circuit to one or more other
circuits, either increasing (stepping up) or reducing (stepping down) the voltage. Uses for
transformers include reducing the line voltage to operate low-voltage devices (doorbells or toy
electric trains) and raising the voltage from electric generators so that electric power can be
transmitted over long distances. Transformers act through electromagnetic induction; current in
the primary coil induces current in the secondary coil. The secondary voltage is calculated by
multiplying the primary voltage by the ratio of the number of turns in the secondary coil to that
in the primary.
In a power plant, a step up transformer is used maybe to step up 25 KV to 500kV for not loosing
power when transmitting the electrical to the consumer. Whether it step up or step down
transformers, the connections can be either Delta-Delta or Delta star, depending of how many
wires usage are need.

3.4 SUBSTATION
An electrical substation is a subsidiary station of an electricity generation, transmission and
distribution system where voltage is transformed from high to low or the reverse using
transformers. Electric power may flow through several substations between generating plant and
consumer, and may be changed in voltage in several steps.
A substation that has a step-up transformer increases the voltage while decreasing the current,
while a step-down transformer decreases the voltage while increasing the current for domestic
and commercial distribution. The word substation comes from the days before the distribution
system became a grid. The first substations were connected to only one power station where the
generator was housed, and were subsidiaries of that power station.

application. The enclosure is fitted with 2 hinges lockable doors, with padlocking
facilities and arranged to open through >120 degrees for maximum access. Watershed
roof is provided to prevent the accumulation of water. Ample ventilation is provided to
permit natural circulation of air. The ventilation apertures are screened to prevent the
entry to vermin and foreign objects. The enclosure is fitted with lifting lugs.

3.6 DISTRIBUTIN BOARD (DB)
A distribution board (or panelboard) is a component of an electricity supply system which
divides an electrical power feed into subsidiary circuits, while providing a protective fuse or
circuit breaker for each circuit, in a common enclosure. Normally, a main switch, and in recent
boards, one or more Residual-current devices (RCD) or Residual Current Breakers with
Overcurrent protection (RCBO), will also be incorporated. The pictures above showed a DB in

level 7 in block 1 in Science and Technology building in UiTM Shah Alam. The distribution
diagram showed that the electric are distributed according to their needs as below:
i. Store – 3kW
ii. Computer center – 3kW
iii. Audio Visual Room – 4kW
iv. Lecture Room – 5kW
v. Mechanical & Electrical Room – 6kW
All the current provided are similar to every level for the whole block 1. For laboratories, the
current provided is higher than the other rooms because all the laboratories have large
equipments that need high voltage of electric.

4.0 CONCLUSION
From the assignment, we can conclude that power electrical distribution in UiTM is starting from
outside which is from Generating Power Plant and passing through stage by stage until arrived at
UiTM. The power distributed into UiTM from outsides must firstly flow through Hotel UiTM
substation before it is distributed to academic blocks and faculties which every blocks and
faculties have the Distribution board which divided or distribute the electricity to every level
depends of their needs. As we can see from the figures above, each of the systems, substations
and components are important in supplying and distributing the electricity especially in UiTM
area where the needs of electricity is high. Other than that, the electric distribution for laboratory
is higher because they provide large equipments which needs the high voltage of electricity.
4.1 RECOMMENDATIONS
As a recommendation, we should improve our safety standard in electric power distribution. As
we know, there are few cases of injuries happen at power plant due to lack of safety procedure.
But the main problem is outside the power plant where in involved unprofessional handy which
is civilian or consumer. Malaysia has increasingly aware about the safety of the civilian when
authorities not allowed any building or houses beneath the transmission line, although there are
few cases that still exist such the pylon tower are too near to housing area. This can endanger
nearby civilian/consumer if the pylon fell sideway or the distribution line snap. Authorities
should also increased their safety standard in distribution line such make the cable wrap thicker
and the law enforcement should always be on the alert on sensitive area such as distribution
house, substations, cable line in remote area as prig try to steal cable line as it expose the high
voltage line and can endangered innocent civilian. The involved parties should also make an
effort to educate civilian in handling electric power such as make a talk or simple course on how
to handle this kind of problem.
