Abstract:
In the modern world no country can think their existence and long term economic goals
without having well-built power sector. Bangladesh has faced various types of problems
such as limited generation capacity, poor financial activities and operational
performance. In the light of that case the generation of the capacity of power sector is
limited, that's why proper distribution is a great problem in our country. This report is
based on our internship work which we have done at DESCO (Dhaka electric Supply
Company limited). This report focuses on the operation of DESCO, their vision, supply
capacity, financial condition, distribution of electricity and future planning. Dhaka
electric supply company was created as a distribution company in 1996 under the
companies Act 1994 as a public limited company with an authorized capital of TK. 5
million. At present DESCO is one of the main power distribution company in
Bangladesh. 75% shares of DES CO are owned by Bangladesh Government and the rest
25% are owned by chairman and other shareholders. Internship is such a course that gave the opportunity to learn those activities that are
related to our real engineering activities which we used to say it was a phenomenal
achievement in our educational life. We have learned about grid and substation,
transformer and their maintenance and the power factor improvement which were
closely related to our study materials. We also sharply observed their administrational
activities, control room; complain room operation, IT and one point operation which will
help us to visualize the effectiveness in the real life. Here, we also gather some
knowledge of corporate world before entering the job field. The details are discussed in
the subsequent chapter.
