Dhaka Polli Bidyut Samity – 1

Abstract

We have completed our undergraduate internship in Dhaka Polli Bidyut Sarnity-l, Polashbar~ Nobinagar, Savar, Dhaka. Dhaka Polli Bidyut Sarnity-l (DPBS-l) plays a vital role in power transmission and distribution in Dhaka city. The mission of DPBS-l is to ensure long term uninterrupted supply of quality power to the consumers in future. In Bangladesh the demand of power is approximately 5800MW. Public and private sector produces 63% and 37% of electricity respectively. Public sector produces electricity through Bangladesh Power Development Board (BPDB) and Electricity Generation Company of Bangladesh (EGCB). On the other hand private sector such as United Power Generation and Distribution Company Limited and Summit Power Limited produces power. Dhaka Polli Bidyut Samity-l is not able to produce power by itself. So it purchases power from United Power Generation and Distribution Company Limited and Summit Power Limited. Summit Power Limited produces 317MW electric power and supplies to the national grid. In near future to contribute more in power sector this company has plan to setup more branches of power station. The internship in Dhaka Polli Bidyut Samity-lhas given us experience to power generation system (at United Power Generation and Distribution Company Limited and Summit Power Limited) and also the transmission and distribution system (of DPBS-I). During our internship in DPBS-l, we were taught about the power plant management system in the power station. This report is the elaborate description of our practical experience.
