generation aims to generate electrical energy on small scale as near as possible to load centers‚ which provide an incremental capacity to power system. In the deregulated power market‚ concerns about the environment as well as economic issues have led increased interest in distributed generations. The emergence of new technological alternatives (photovoltaic systems‚ wind power‚ cogeneration‚ etc.) allows generating part of the required energy closer to the point of use‚ improving quality levels and minimizing

Pakistan; 1947‚ Pakistan inherited 60MW of power generation capability for a population of 31.5 million‚ yielding 4.5 units per capita consumption. On 24th April‚ 1958 WAPDA was created as a semi-autonomous body for the purpose of coordinating and giving unified direction to the development of schemes in water and power sectors‚ which were previously being dealt with by the respective electricity and irrigation department of the provinces. During the year 1959 the power generation capability was increased

shortly after the development of the ‘dynamo’‚ commonly known as the generator. The first public power station was put into service in 1882 in London (Holborn). Soon a number of other public supplies for electricity followed in other developed countries. The early systems produced direct current at low-voltage‚ but their service was limited to highly localized areas and was used mainly for electric lighting. The limitations of d.c. transmission at low voltage became readily apparent. By 1890 the
