Report on Power Grid Company of Bangladesh

Abstract

Power Grid Company of Bangladesh (pGCB) is created under the restructuring process of Power Sector in Bangladesh. This report is based on our internship work in Power Grid Company of Bangladesh at Manik Nagar branch. A power system has three basic segments, i.e. power generation, power transmission and power distribution. Basically Power Grid Company of Bangladesh deals with transmission part only. It primarily focuses on different processes of power transmission in power grid. We were introduced with various equipment of Power Grid, such as Relay, Circuit Breaker, Power transformer, Bus bars, Disconnector, Wave trap, Cable, DC battery. We worked at PGCB as intern for 80 hours. Each day our activities were divided into three parts. yustly our supervisor talked to us about the theory behind our day topic. Then we visited the grid with our supervisor to relate theory with practical implementation. Finally we visited the grid again to gather ourselves information about the equipment of that day. Here we learned about power transmission and the behavior of various equipment used in grids. This report contains a detail description about some of these equipments. As we did not complete any major course related to power prior to doing the internship, we had to face hurdles. It would be beneficial and better for us if we had completed the courses Switchgear, Power Station and Power Electronics.
