Large power plants are used for the economic generation of energy. The capacities of individual generator sets have recently risen. In many countries generators are manufactured in the range of 10 MW, 210 MW and 500 MW. The generating station is now not necessarily located in the cargo centers. In fact other factors such as the availability of fuel and water play a more dominant role in the selection of sites for thermal power plants. Hydroelectric stations are obviously only found at places where water is available in sufficient head. A vast network of transmission system has been created so that the energy generated in a station can be fed to the network system and can be distributed in large areas and number of states. The transmission and distribution system comprises a network of three-phase circuits with transformation and / or switching substations at the various junctions.
