Abstract:
The power sector in Bangladesh faced numerous problems characterized by lack of supply
capacity, frequent power cuts, unacceptable quality of supply, and poor financial and operational
performance of the sector entities. There have been a number of reforms in the power sector in
Bangladesh since it's independence, but most of these reforms fai led to bring desired
improvements in the power sector. Among the three main components of the power system,
recent reform activities were centered on generation and transmission. The most pressing
problem in the power sector has been with the distribution system, which is characterized by
heavy system loss and poor collection performance; however, the di stribution system seldom got
the priority in reform initiatives.
Our internship in DESCO (Dhaka Electric Supply Company Limited), focused on the planning
and distribution in the practical field of power sector. Through this internship we got the
opportunity to work as a member of a team which was involved in transm ission and distribution
of electricity around dhaka city, i.e TONGI, UTTARA, MIRPUR, and GULSHAN. We also had
some experience regarding corporate culture and customer dealings. On the completion of this
internship the practical experience enhance our theoretical knowledge in power sector.
