Abstract:
This under graduate internship deals with the integration of power from rice husk power plant
into an existing weak grid system. The aim of this internship is to develop and analyse a
model of the power system considering husk power generation and integration with rural subtransmission
grid. Power generation from rice husk energy has gained popularity in recent years all over the
world, mainly because husk energy is renewable and eco-friendly. This internship has been
completed to fmd the impact study of connecting a S*l-MW power generation from husk into
the 33kV-sub transmission system of a utility company within the north-west part of
Bangladesh. There are a total of 104 rice mills within 5 km of Dinajpur town. Rice mills in
this area operate only 6 months out of the year. Husk is available at prices ranging from
2.3Tk/kg during the off season down to 3Tk/kg during peak husking season. In this internship
it is found that steady state voltage changes are generally the factor which restricts the
amount of power that can be connected at a certain point in the grid provided there is no
restricted access in the transfer capacity. Reactive power control strategy can be used to
integrate more power in the grid if the voltage limits are the deciding factor.The simulation
result shows that it is possible to add a power generating subsystem in the weak grid to
improve loadshedding.
