Power Genaration, Distribution & Maintainace of Polli Bidyut Somity -1

Abstract

Electricity is a fundamental requirement, to upgrade the socio economic condition and to alleviate poverty. Proper and enough electricity supply have a great positive impact on our national economy as well as on GDP of the country, where GDP is one of the important measures of the economic condition for a developing country like Bangladesh to attract foreign investment. But Bangladesh is going through a huge power crisis for a long time. Demand of power is very high but supply is not adequate. Rural Electrification Board is the largest electricity distribution company in Bangladesh which is covering 61 districts and 48,687 villages. Through 70 Somity REB operates and among this Polli Bidyut Somity-1 is one of the best electricity distribution companies among its kinds. This is situated in Nobinogor, Savar. I started my internship on 25th December 2011. Before starting my internship in PBS-1, an internship was scheduled and a group list was provided with the internship approval letter by PBS-1. During our internship we have been visited several places such as Summit Power Limited, United Power Generation and distribution Company Limited, Power Grid Company Bangladesh and their own distribution substation etc. Both generation and distribution is maintained by PDB (Power Development Board). From my internship I have learned about REB power generation, power distribution, staking design and supervision and the electrical equipments they are using other things. The experience of our internship was enjoyable and learn able.
