What is Power System

A system that deals with the business of Generation Transmission Distribution of electrical energy It is the most complex and massive man made system

The study of electric power systems is concerned with the generation, transmission, distribution, and utilization of electric power . The first of these the generation of electric power involves the conversion of energy from a nonelectrical form (such as thermal, hydraulic, or solar energy) to electric energy.

Goal of Power System

High reliability standard Lowest operational cost Minimum environmental impact

Power System Components

The load is not an integral part of the Power System as they are not owned by power generating companies, but it has to be modeled in the PS analysis

Electricity cannot be stored and the supplier has small control over the load at any time. The engineer endeavors to keep the output from the generator equal to the connected load all the time. There is a continuous demand of power. A large and continuous process of adding to the system exists. The distribution and nature of fuel. The problem of station siting and transmission distances is an involved exercise in economics.

Power Generation
Power generation takes place in power plants, which may geographically dispersed. A power plant may contain more than one power generating units.

Energy Sources
Hydrocarbons (oil, gas, natural gas, etc). Water Solar Nuclear Chemical Wind Tidal

Consumption of electricity in Singapore is about 6,151.54 kWh per person (2001 data), placing it as the 29th highest consumer of electricity worldwide, and 4th highest in Asia, according to the nationamaster.com Internet site, using data from the U.S. Department of Energy. The site also ranked Singapore as the 8th highest country worldwide (and 2nd in Asia) in terms of electricity generation ability per person, with 1.45 kW per person. Analysts expect demand to grow at 4-5% annually.

As of end-2003, Singapores total installed generation capacity was 8,919 MW, compared with peak demand of 5,139 MW. EMA requires the gencos to maintain 30% reserve capacity, which brings total required capacity to around 6,500 MW. The significant excess capacity is mainly a result of the conversion of oil-powered plants to gas, in an effort to maintain competitiveness in a liberalized market. Some 60% of Singapores electricity generation is now fueled by natural gas.

Grid Inteconnection
Grid interconnection of is the interconnection of a number of distributed generators owned and operated by different entities

Advantages of Grid Interconnection

Economical as power plants may use less number of generating machines as they can depend on the grids when the need arises. Companies can take advantage of the most economical cost of power generation.

Disadvantages of Grid Interconnection

Interconnection increases the amount of current flow when a short circuit occurs in a system and requires the installation of breakers able to interrupt large current flow. The disturbance caused by a short circuit in one system may spread into the other systems.

Environmental effects of Grid Interconnections

Air pollutant emissions. Modest quantities of emissions may be produced during power line construction, but the main influence of grid interconnections on air pollutant emissions will be through the impact of transmission interconnections on which power plants are run where and when in the interconnected nations. Water pollution impacts, including erosion and water pollutants produced as a result of power line construction and operation, and incremental water pollution from power plant construction, power generation, and fuel extraction/storage.

10

Solid waste impacts, mainly coal ash and high- and low-level nuclear wastes from electricity generation, but also including wastes from fuel extraction and possibly from power line and/or power plant construction. Land-use impacts, including costs such as the restriction of uses of land through which a power line passes.

Wildlife/biodiversity impacts, including costs such as the potential impacts of power line construction and operation on flora and fauna in the power line area. Human health impacts, including the impacts of electromagnetic fields (EMFs) from power lines on humans living and working in the power line vicinity (net costs of the interconnection project

11

Distributed power generation

Distributed power generators are small, modular electricity generators typically sited close to customer loads By siting smaller, more fuel-flexible systems near energy consumers, distributed generation avoids transmission and distribution power losses and provides a choice of energy systems to the utility customer. Many distributed power systems produce so little noise or emissions that they can be located inside, or immediately adjacent to, the buildings where the power is needed. This greatly simplifies the problems of bringing power to expanding commercial, residential, and industrial areas

Power Transmission Systems

Connects generating plants to consumers Interconnect power grids High voltage AC transmission High voltage DC transmission

13

Power Distribution
Receives electrical energy from the HV/MV levels Supplies energy to consumers - at MV/LV levels - at three-phase (industrial) - at single phase (consumers)

Power distribution devices

21

Three characteristics, or parameters: its resistance, inductance, and capacitance.

The dc resistance R of a conductor of length l and cross-sectional area A is R = pl/A (in ohms) where p is the resistivity of the material of the conductor in ohm-meters The temperature dependence of resistance is quantified by the relation R2 = R1[1 + (T2 T1)]

22

Resistivities and Temperature Coefficients of Resistance

The inductance per conductor of a two-wire, singlephase transmission line is given by

(in henrys per meters) where 0 = 4p 10-7 H/m (the permeability of free space), D is the distance between the centers of the conductors, and r is the radius of the conductors. The total, or loop, inductance is then

where r' = re-1/4 is known as the geometric mean radius (GMR) of the conductor.

23

The per-phase (or line-to-neutral) inductance of a three-phase transmission line with equilaterally spaced conductors is where r is the conductor radius and D is the spacing between conductors

Transposition is the interchanging of the positions of the conductors at regular intervals along the line. Due to unequal inductances in the three phases, leading to unequal voltage dropst he cause by the usual nonsymmetrical spacing

The average per-phase inductance for a transposed line is still given by D is equivalent to De, obtained from De = (DabDbcDca) 1/3 where the distances Dab, Dbc, and Dca are shown in Figure.

24

The shunt capacitance per unit length of a single-phase, two-wire transmission line is given by
(in farads per meter)
is the permittivity of free space

For a three-phase line with equilaterally spaced conductors, the per-phase (or line-to-neutral) capacitance is

25

A transmission-line cable consists of 19 strands of identical copper conductors, each 1.5mm in diameter. The length of the cable is 2km but, because of the twist of the strands, the actual length of each conductor is increased by 5 percent. What is the resistance of the cable? Take the resistivity of copper to be 1.72 10-8 m.

Allowing for twist, we find that l = (1.05)(2000) = 2100m. The cross-sectional area of all 19 strands is 19(/4)(1.5 10-3 )2 = 33.576 10-6 m2 . R = rl/A = (1.72 10-8 2100)/(33.576 10-6)
= 1.076

26

The per-phase line loss in a 40-km long transmission line is not to exceed 60k while it is delivering 100A per phase. If the resistivity of the conductor material is 1.72 10-8 .m, determine the required conductor diameter.

The line loss is to be, at most, I2 R = (100)2 R = 60 103 R = 6. substitute A = D2 /4 to R = pl/A yields D2 /4 = (1.72 10-8 )(40 103 )/6 D = 1.208cm

27

A sample of copper wire has a resistance of 50 at 10 C. What must be the maximum operating temperature of the wire if the resistance is to increase by at most 10 percent? Take the tenperature coefficient at 10 C to be = 0.00409 C-1

Here we have R 1 = 50 and R 2 = 50 + 0.1 50 = 55 . Also, T 1 = 10 C, and we require T 2. 55 = 50[1 + 0.00409(T 2 10)] or T 2 = 34.45 C

28

Determine the resistance of a 10km long solid cylindrical aluminum conductor with a diameter of 250 mils, at (a) 20 C and (b) 120 C.

Prepared by: Mr. John Mateo

To find the cross-sectional area of the conductor, we note that 250 mils = 0.25 in = 0.35 cm so A = ( /4)(0.635) 2= 0.317cm2 Also, from Table 1, r = 2.83 .cm and a = 0.0039 C-1 at 20 C (a) At 20 C, ( R20 = rl/A = 2.83 10-8 (10 103) / (0.317 10-4) = 8.93 (a) At 120 , R120 = R20[1 + a(120 20)] = 8.93(1 + 0.0039 100) = 12.41

A single-circuit, three-phase, 60Hz transmission line consists of three conductors arranged as shown in the Figure. If the conductors are the same as that in Question no 5, find the inductive reactance of the line per kilometer per phase

Prepared by: Mr. John Mateo

De = (5 5 8) 1/3 = 5.848m r = 0.635 10-2m, so that De/r = (5.848 2 102)/0.635 = 1841.9 and In(De/r) = 7.52. Hence, we have, for each kilometer of length, L = 2(1/4 + 7.52) 10-7 103= 1.554 mH/km The inductive reactance per kilometer is then XL = L = 377 1.554 10-3= 0.5858

Discuss the effect of TL parameters on the operation and performance of transmission lines. Evaluate the losses, efficiency, and voltage regulation of transmission lines Determine the consequence of such performance characteristics on the operation of a power system.

31

Short line, - considered valid for lines up to 80km long - the shunt effects (conductance and capacitance) are neglected - represented by a lumped resistance in series with a lumped inductance

Medium line - generally range from 80 to 240km in length - the shunt capacitances are lumped at a few predetermined locations along the line; Long lines - longer than 240km - have uniformly distributed parameters

32

The short transmission line is represented by the lumped parameters R and L is the inductance (per phase) of the entire line. The line is shown to have two ends: the sending end (designated by the subscript S) at the generator, and the receiving end (designated R) at the load

33

Quantities of significance here are the voltage regulation and efficiency of transmission. These quantities are defined as follows for lines of all lengths: Percent voltage regulations = = [|VR(no load)| - |VR(load)|]/|VR(load)| 100 where VR is the receiving-end voltage

Efficiency of transmission = Power at receiving end / power at sending end = PR/PS

34

In a medium-length transmission line the shunt effect of the transmission line due to the line capacitance is not negligible Two representations for a medium-length transmission line a. the nominal-II circuit and b. the nominal-T circuit

35

The parameters of a long line are considered to be distributed over the entire length of the line. One phase (with return through neutral) of a long line, of length L, is shown.

36

The voltage V at any point along this line is given by

where = yz, is known as the propagation constant y is the shunt. admittance per unit length of the line, and z is the series impedance per unit length,

The voltage V at any point along this line

The current I at any point along the line is given by

Zc = z/y is called the characteristic impedance of the line

37

A transmission line may be viewed as a four-terminal network.

the terminal voltages and currents are related by Vs = A VR + B IR Is = C VR + D IR where the constants A, B, C, and D are called the generalized circuit constants or ABCD constants and are, in general, complex. By reciprocity, they are related to each other as follows: AD BC = 1

38

On a long transmission line, the voltage V and current I everywhere along the line satisfy a relation called the wave equation. For a lossless transmission line, such that z and y are purely reactive, the wave equation may be written as
the superscripts + and denotes, respectively, waves traveling in the +x and x directions along the transmission line

39

A wave such as V+(t x/u) that is traveling in the positive x direction is called a forwardtraveling wave, and one that is moving in the negative x direction is a backward-traveling wave

for a lossy line Zc = z/y, For a lossless line Zc = L/C = Rc V+ / I+ = L/C and V- / I- = L/C

40

A transmission line of total length L that terminates in a resistance RL and is driven by a pulse voltage source having an open-circuit voltage waveform Vs(t) as shown and an internal resistance RS. To determine the terminal voltages V(0,t) and V(L,t) and terminal currents I(0,t) and I(L,t) as functions of time we consider the portion of the line at the load). At x = L, we must have V(L,t) = RL I(L,t)

If RL = RC; in that case there is no backward-traveling wave and the line is said to be matched at the load. But the discontinuity in the produced by the load resistor then results in a wave being reflected in the form of a backward-traveling wave.

41

A voltage reflection coefficient at the load is the ratio of the amplitudes of the backward- and forwardtraveling voltage waves at x = L;

a current reflection coefficient at the load may be defined as

The current reflection coefficient is thus the negative of the voltage reflection coefficient

DIRECT & TRANSFER SURGE CALCULATION

Overhead transmission lines and cables under transient conditions can be represented by seriesconnected distributed inductances and shuntconnected distributed capacitances. They can be considered to have a surge impedance, which at any locations relates the surge voltage and surge current by the equation: Surge voltage = Surge current x Surge impedance

53

The surge impedance of an overhead transmission line is of the order of 500 OHMs, and that of a cable of the order of 50 OHMs. With power transformer, the surge impedance varies from 500 OHM to 800 OHM

The basic components of a power system are generators, transformers, transmission lines, and loads. The interconnections among these components in the power system may be shown in a so-called oneline diagram. For analysis, the equivalent circuits of the components are shown in a reactance diagram or an impedance diagram
Prepared by: Mr. John Mateo

59

1. A generator can be represented by a voltage source in series with an inductive reactance. The internal resistance of the generator is negligible compared to the reactance. 2. The loads are inductive. 3. The transformer core is ideal, and the transformer may be represented by a reactance. 4. The transmission line is a medium-length line and can be denoted by a T circuit. An alternative representation, such as a pi circuit, is equally applicable.

5. The delta-wye-connected transformer T1 may be replaced by an equivalent wye-wye connected transformer (via a delta-to-wye transformation) so that the impedance diagram may be drawn on a per-phase basis.

63

64

Computations for a power system having two or more voltage levels become very cumbersome when it is necessary to convert currents to a different voltage level whenever they flow through a transformer (the change in current being inversely proportional to the transformer turns ratio).

A set of base values, or base quantities, is assumed for each voltage class, and each parameter is expressed as a decimal fraction of its respective base Per Unit : then the ratio of actual to base quantity. A minimum of four base quantities is required to completely defined a per-unit system; these are voltage, current, power, and impedance (or admittance). If two of them are set arbitrarily, then the other two become fixed.

65

Base current = base voltamperes / base voltage (in amperes) Base impedance = base voltage / base current (in ohms) Per-unit voltage = actual voltage / base voltage (per unit, or pu) Per-unit current = actual current / base current (per unit, or pu) Per-unit impedance = actual impedance / base impedance (per unit, or pu)

Generators and Per Unit System

A generator rated 1000 VA and 200 V has internal impedance of j10 .

66

The ratings of the generator are chosen as the base values.

S base = 1000 VA Vbase = 200 V I base = Z base = S base 1000 = =5A Vbase 200
2 Vbase 200 2 = = 40 S base 1000

The generator impedance is stamped on the nameplate together with the other ratings. This generator has impedance of j25%. This means that the per unit impedance is

Transformers and Per Unit System

A transformer is rated 2000 VA, 200V/400V, and has an internal impedance of j4.0 as seen from the low voltage side.

The internal impedance of the transformer as seen from the high voltage side is

r r V2 Z HV = Z LV V 1

400 = j4.0 200 = j16.0

Bases for transformer low side and high side

The transformer per unit impedance is the same, regardless of to which side of the transformer it is referred. The transformer equivalent circuit is reduced to a single impedance:

Three Phase System and Per Unit Calculations

In three phase systems the total apparent power is given by

S 3 = 3 VLL I L
where VLL is the line-to-line voltage and IL is the line current.

Similarly,

S 3 base = 3 VL Lbase I L base

where S3 base is the chosen three phase base power, usually the rated power of the equipment, or the chosen base power used for all system calculation by the power utility VLL base is the chosen line-to-line base voltage, usually the rated voltage of the equipment or the nominal voltage level of a part of the power system IL base is the line base current, usually calculated from the base power and the base voltage

The per-unit (pu) impedance of a generator or transformer, as supplied by the manufacturer, is generally based on the rating of the generator or transformer itself. However, such a per-unit impedance can be referred to a new voltampere base with the equation

74

If the old base voltage and new base voltage are the same, the equation simplifies to

A three-phase, 13kV transmission line delivers 8MVA of load. The per-phase impedance of the line is (0.01 + j0.05) pu, referred to a 13kV, 8MVA base. What is the voltage drop across the line?

Learning objective
To conduct load flow study in a power system

Power-flow studies, more commonly known as load-flow studies, are extremely important in evaluating the operation of power systems, controlling them, and planning for future expressions. A power-flow study yields mainly the real and reactive power and phasor voltage at each bus on the system, although much additional information is available from the computer printouts of typical power-flow studies

95

We assume the short transmission line shown in the Figure has negligible resistance and a series reactance of jX ohms per phase. The per-phase sendingend and receiving-end voltages are VS and VR, respectively. We wish to determine the real and reactive power at the sending end and at the receiving end, given that VS leads VR by an angle .

Complex power S, in voltamperes, is in general given by S = P + jQ = VI* VA where I* is the complex conjugate of I. Thus, on a per-phase basis, at the sending end we have Ss = Ps + jQs = VsI* VA From Fig.(a), I is given by I = (1/jX)(Vs VR) so I* = (1/-jX)(Vs* - VR *) Ss = (Vs/-jX)(Vs* - VR *)

96

Now, from the phasor diagram of Fig. (b), VR = | VR |<0 so VR = VR * and Vs = |Vs|< Hence Ss= (|Vs|2 - | VR ||Vs| ej)/(-jX) = (|Vs|| VR |/X)sin + j(1/X)(|Vs|2 - |Vs|| VR |cos ) Finally, since Ss = Ps + jQs, we may write and Ps = (1/X)(|Vs|| VR |sin ) W QS = (1/X)(|Vs|2- |Vs|| VR |cos ) var Similarly, at the receiving end we have VR = PR + j QR = VR I*

And finally obtain PR = (1/X)(|Vs|| VR |sin ) W and QR = (1/X)(|Vs|| VR |cos - | VR |2) var If the system operates with 0, then the average reactive power flow over the line is given by Qav = (1/2)(Qs + QR) = (1/2X)(| VS| 2 - | VR | 2) var This equation shows the strong dependence of the reactive power flow on the voltage difference

97

In an actual power system, explicit analytical solutions are not forthcoming because of load fluctuations on the buses and because the receiving-end voltage may not be known. Then, numerical methods must be used to solve for unknown quantities generally via an iterative procedure

The figure shows a two-bus system, with the real power represented by solid arrows and the reactive power by dashed arrows. The governing equations for the system are (on a per-phase basis) S2 = V2I* V 1 = V 2 + Z lI Solving for V2 and eliminating I from these equations, we obtain V2= V 1 Z lI = V1- Z lS2*/V2* (A)

98

To solve (A) iteratively, we would assume a value for V and call it V (0). We would substitute this in the right-hand side of (A) and solve for V, calling the new value of V, obtained in this first iteration, V (1). We would then substitute (V(1))* in the right-hand side of (A) and obtain a new value V (2). This procedure would be replaced until convergence to the desired precision was achieved.

Definition of the special buses: 1. A load bus is a bus for which the active and reactive powers P and Q are known, and |V| and are to be found. 2. A generator bus is a bus for which the magnitude of the generated voltage |V| and the corresponding generated power P are known, and Q and are to be obtained. 3. A swing bus (or slack bus) is a generator bus at which |V| and d are specified, and P and Q are to be determined. For convenience, we choose V< = 1<0 per unit.

One of the more commonly used iterative numerical procedures The Gauss and Gauss-Seidel methods are iterative procedures for solving simultaneous (nonlinear) equations. We illustrate the Gauss method with the following example.

100

y 3x + 1.9 = 0 y + x2 1.8 = 0 To solve with the Gauss method, we rewrite the given equations as x = y/3 + 0.633 (1) y = 1.8 x2 (2)

We now make an initial guess of x0 = 1 and y0 = 1, update x with (1), and update y with (2). That is, we compute x1 = y0/3 + 0.633 = 1/3 + 0.633 = 0.9663 And y1 = 1.8 x02 = 1.8 1 = 0.8 (4) (3)

After several iterations, we obtain x = 0.938 and y = 0.917. A few more iterations would bring us very close to the exact results: x = 0.93926 and y = 0.9178. However, it must be pointed out that an uneducated guess of the initial values (such as x0 = y0 = 100) would have caused the solution to diverge

101

In certain cases the real power on each of the various buses is also specified. The corresponding reactive power is then determined as needed to maintain each bus voltage. Stated otherwise, we investigate the effect of a particular bus voltage on the reactive power supplied by a given generator to the system.

If we represent the system with its Thevenin equivalent and connect the system to a generator as shown in Fig. 1, then the corresponding phasor diagram resembles those shown in Fig. 2 for leading, lagging, and unity power factors.

Fig. 1

102

Fig. 2

In the three diagrams of Fig. 2 for a constant power delivered by the generator, the component of I in phase with ETh must be constant. It follows from Fig. 2 that with constant power input to the bus, larger magnitudes of bus voltage V1 require larger |Eg|, and the larger |Eg| is obtained by increasing the excitation of the generator. Increasing the bus voltage by increasing |Eg| causes the current to become more lagging. Thus, increasing the voltage specified at a generator bus means that the generator feeding the bus will increase its output of reactive power to the bus. From the standpoint of the operation of the system, we are controlling bus voltage and Q generation by adjusting the generator excitation.

Another method of controlling bus voltage is by installing shunt capacitor banks at the buses at both the transmission and distribution voltage levels along transmission lines or at substations and loads. Each capacitor bank supplies reactive power at the point at which it is placed. Hence it reduces the line current necessary to supply reactive power to the load and reduces the voltage drop in the line via power-factor improvement. Since the capacitor banks lower the reactive power required from the generators, more real power output is available. If a capacitor bank is installed at a particular node, the node (or bus) voltage can be determined from the Thevenin equivalent of the system, shown in the figure, and the corresponding phasor diagram. The increase in V1 due to the capacitor bank is approximately equal to |IC|XTh if ETh remains constant.

103

104

For the system shown, it is desired that |V1| = |V2| = 1pu. The loads, as shown, are S1 = 6 + j10pu and S2 = 14 + j8 pu. The line impedance is j0.05 pu. If the real power input at each bus is 10pu, calculate the power and the power factors at the two ends.

Let V2 = 1<0 and V1 = 1<. Then P1 = P2 = |V1||V2|sin/X or 10= (1 1)sin/0.05 from which = 30 and V1 = 1<30 . The reactive power is given by Q1 = |V1|2/X - |V1||V2|cos/X = 1/0.05 cos30 /0.05 = 2.68pu = -Q2 so Qline = Q1 Q2 = 2Q1 = 5.36pu Thus we have Load on bus 1 = (6 + j10) + (10 + j5.36) = 16 + j15.36 pu Power factor at bus 1 = 0.72 lagging Load on bus 2 = (14 + j8) + (10 +j5.36) = 24 + j13.36 pu Power factor at bus 2 = 0.87 lagging

105

Two buses are interconnected by a transmission line of impedance (0.3 + j1.2) pu. The voltage on one bus is 1<0 , and the load on the other bus is (1 + j0.4) pu. Determine the per-unit voltage on this second bus. Also calculate the per-unit real and reactive power on the first bus

From the above equation Iteration 0 1 2 3 4 V2,pu 1.0 + j0 0.922 j0.108 0.903 j0.106 0.9 j0.108 0.9 j0.108

106

Then V2 = 0.9 j0.108 pu and I = S2*/V2* = (1 j0.4)/(0.9 + j0.108) = 1.188<-28.6 pu so that I* = 1.188<28.6 . This gives us S1 = P1 + jQ1 = V1I1* = (1<0 )(1.188<28.6) = 1.188<28.6 = 1.043 + j0.569 Hence, P1 = 1.043 pu and Q1 = 0.569 pu

The voltages on the two buses of Question 2 are to be made equal in magnitude by supplying reactive power at the second bus. How much reactive power must be supplied?

107

We have |V1| = 1, V2 = 1<0 (desired), Zl = 0.03 + j0.12, and S2* = (1 j0.4). Then from V1 = V2 + (Zl/V2*)(S2* + jQ2) (1) Where Q2 represents the added reactive power at bus 2. 1 = |1 + (0.03 + j0.12)[1 + j(Q2 0.4)]| Hence, Q2 = 0.259 pu.

The per-unit impedance of a short transmission line is j0.06. The per-unit load on the line is (1 + j0.6) pu at a receiving-end voltage of 1<0 pu. Calculate the average reactive power flow over the line.

108

The sending-end voltage is VS = VR + IZ = 1<0 + (1 + j0.6)(j0.06) = 0.9658<3.56 pu Thus, from Qav = (1/2X)(|VS|2 - |VR|2) var , = [1/2(0.06)](0.96582 12) = -56 pu

Solve the following equation by the GaussSeidel method: x2 6x + 2 = 0.

109

We solve the given equation for a, obtaining x = (1/6)x2 = 1/3 = F(x) and use the initial estimate x(0) = 1. Then, in succeeding iterations we obtain Iteration 1: x(1) = F(1) = 1/6 + 1/3 = 0.5 Iteration 2: x(2) = F(0.5) = (1/6)(0.5) 2 + 1/3 = 0.375 Iteration 3: x(3) = F(0.375) = (1/6)(0.375) 2 + 1/3 = 0.3568 Iteration 4: x(4) = F(0.3568) = (1/6)(0.3568) 2+ 1/3 = 0.3545 We may now stop since |x(n+1)| - |x(n)| < = 0.0023; which seems to be sufficiently small. The quadratic gives this root as x = 0.35425 to five places

For the two-bus system and with the data as shown and with Y11 = Y22 = 1.6<-80 pu and Y21 = Y12 = 1.9<100 pu, determine the per-unit voltage at bus 2 by the Gauss-Seidel method.

110

The power into the two buses is S1 = (P 1 1.1) + j(Q 1 0.4) pu S 2 = -0.5 j0.3 pu From

V 2(i+1) = (1/Y22)[(P 2 jQ 2)/(V 2(i))* - Y21V 1] (1) With the given numerical values, (1) becomes )[0.583<149 /(V 2 (i))* V 2 (i+1) = (1/1.6<-80 (1.9<100 )(1.1<0 )] = (0.625<80 )[0.583<149 /(V 2 (i))* - 2.09<100 ] (2) To begin the iterations, we let V 2(0) = 1.0<-10 pu V 2(1) = (0.625<80 )[(0.583<139 ) (2.09<100 )] = 1.048<12.6 pu The next iteration yields V 2(2)) = (0.625<80 )(0.583<149 /1.048,12.6 - 2.09<100 ) = 1.047<-8.6 pu

Power System Economics

LESSON 5

Learning objectives
a. To identify the different processes involved in flow and congestion control

112

Of the numerous aspects of power system operation and control, we shall consider only the economical operation of power systems and the control of load frequency, generator voltage, and the turbine governor

Within a power plant, a number of ac generators generally operate in parallel. For the economic operation of the plant, the total load must be appropriately shared by the generating units. Because fuel cost is the major factor in determining economic operation, curves like that of Figure 1 are important to power-plant operation.

113

Note in the figure that the inverse slope of the curve at any point in the fuel efficiency of the generating unit operating at that point. Maximum fuel efficiency occurs at the point at which the line from the origin is tangent to the curve. Point A in Fig. 1 is such a point for a unit having the input-output characteristic of Fig. 1; there, an output of 250 MW requires an input of approximately 2.1 109 Btu/h. Or, we may say that the fuel requirement is 8.4 106 Btu/MWh.

114

To obtain the most economic load distribution between two units, we must determine the incremental cost corresponding to a partial shift of load between the units. We first convert the fuel requirement into a dollar cost per megawatthour. Then the incremental cost is determined from the slopes of the input-output curves (Fig.1) for the two units. From Fig. 1, for each unit, Incremental fuel cost = dF/dP (in dollars per megawatthour) where F = input in dollars per hour, P = output in megawatts. At a given output, this incremental fuel cost is the additional cost of increasing the output by MW.

In a plant having two operating units, generally the incremental fuel cost of one unit will be higher than that of the other. For the most economic operation, load should be transferred from the unit with the higher incremental costs of the two become equal. In a plant with several units, the criterion for load division is that all units must operate at the same incremental fuel cost.

115

To include the effect of transmission-line losses on economical system operation, we must express these losses as a function of plant power output. Fig. 2 shows two plants connected to a three-phase load.

The total transmission loss (for all three phases) is given by Ploss = 3(|I1|2R 1 + |I 2|2R 2 + |I 3|2R 3) where the Rs are the per-phase resistances of the lines, and where |I 3 | = |I 1 + I 2 | = |I 1 | + |I 2 |) if we assume that I 1 and I 2 are in phase. These currents may be expressed in terms of P 1 and P 2, the respective plant outputs, as |I 1 | = P 1 / 3|V 1 |cos 1 |I 2 | = P 2 / 3|V 2 |cos 2 where cos 1 and cos 2 are the power factors at buses 1 and 2, respectively.

116

Ploss = P 1 2 B 11 + 2 P 1 P 2B 12 + P 22 2 B 22 where B 11, B 12, and B 22 are called loss coefficients or B coefficients and are given by B 11 = (R 1 + R 3)/|V 1 | 2 cos 2 1 B 12 = R 13/|V 1 ||V 12|cos 1 cos 2 B 22 = (R 2 + R 3)/|V 12| 2 cos 2 2 For a system of n plants,

For a system of n plants, the total cost of fuel per hour is

and the total power output is

With transmission losses, we must have

117

where P R and P loss are, respectively, the total power received by the load and lost in transmission. For a given (constant), P R, dP R = 0.

In addition, when the load is allocated among the n plants for minimum fuel cost, dF total = 0. Then

118

The system fuel cost is minimized when the incremental fuel cost for each plant, multiplied by its penalty factor, is the same throughout the system, that, when

To determine the L K

119

A number of automatic controls are used in present-day power systems. These include devices that control the generator voltage, the turbine governor, and the load frequency; there are also computer controls to ensure economic power flow and to control reactive power, among other power-system variables.

Generator voltage control is accomplished by controlling the exciter voltage. The blockdiagram representation of a closed-loop automatic voltage regulating system is shown in simplified form

120

The open-loop transfer function G(s) is given by G(s) = k/(1 + T as)(1 + T es)(1 + T fs) where T a, T e, and T f are, respectively, the time constants associated with the amplifier, the exciter, and the generator field, and the open-loop gain k is k = ka ke kf

Sudden changes in the load cause the turbine speed and, consequently, the generator frequency to change as well. The change in turbine speed occurs when the generator electromagnetic torque no longer equals the turbine (or other prime mover) mechanical torque. Thus, the change f in the generator frequency may be used as a control signal for controlling the turbine mechanical output power. The change in the turbine output power as a function of a change in the generator frequency is given by Pm = Pref (1/R) f

121

where Pm and Pref are, respectively, the changes in the turbine output power and the reference power (as determined by the governor setting), and R is known as the regulation constant. It is implied that the accelerations and decelerations of the generator rotor are controlled by the turbine governor. However, the frequency deviation f still remains if Pref = 0.

122

Use Fig. 1 to find the fuel requirements for outputs of (a) 100MW and (b) 400MW. Thus verify that point A is probably the maximum fuel-efficiency point. Hint: We have to show that the fuel requirement is higher than that of point A, that is, 8.4 106 Btu/MWh.

123

(a) From Fig. 1, at 100MW output, the fuel input is approximately 1 109 Btu/h. Hence, Fuel requirement = (1 109)/100 = 10 106 Btu/MWh (b) Similarly, at 400 MW output, the fuel input is approximately 3.6 109 Btu/h. Then Fuel requirement = (3.6 109)/400 = 9.0 106 Btu/MWh Clearly, both values are greater than that for point A.

A certain amount of coal costs $1.20 and produces 106 Btu of energy as fuel for a generating unit. If the input-output characteristic of the unit is that shown in Fig. 1, determine the incremental fuel cost at point A. Hint: We have to solve for the slope of the line at point A to solve for the incremental cost.

124

Slope at A = (2.2 2.0)109/(260 234)106 = 7.7 Btu/MWh Thus, Incremental cost = 7.7 1.20 = $9.24/MWh

125

For a certain turbine-generator set, R = 0.04pu, based on the generator rating of 100MVA and 60Hz. The generator frequency decreases by 0.02Hz, and the system adjusts to steady-state operation. By how much does the turbine output power increase?

The per-unit frequency change is Per-unit f = f/fbase = -0.02/60 = -3.33 10-4 pu Then from Pm = Pref (1/R) f yields Per-unit Pm = -(1/0.04)(-3.33 10-4) = 8.33 10-3 pu The actual increase in output power is then Pm = (8.33 10-3)(100) = 0.833MW

126

Graphs of the incremental fuel costs (in dollars per megawatthour) for two generating units in a power plant are shown in Fig. A. These graphs are linear. The plant output ranges from 240MW to 1000MW over a 24-h period. During this period the load on each unit varies from 120MW to 600MW. Plot a curve of incremental fuel cost l versus plant output for minimum-fuel-cost operation.

127

From the figure, we obtain dF1/dP1 = 0.008P1 + 8 (1) dF2/dP2 = 0.009P2 + 6 (2) At 120MW, dF1/dP1 = 8.96 and dF2/dP2 = 7.08. Therefore, until dF2/dP2 has risen to 8.96, unit 2 should take all the additional load above 120MW. Using (2), we find that dF2/dP2 is equal to 8.96 when P2 = 328.9MW, at which value Ptotal = P1 + P2 = 120 + 328.9 = 448.9MW

These values give us the second row of the Table . Similar computations give the remaining rows of the table, whose values are plotted in the figure (dashed lines)

128

For maximum demand from the plant of Question 4, determine how the load should be shared by the two generating units for minimum fuel cost. Hint: For minimum fuel cost, incremental cost for each plant must be equal, that is, dF1/dP1 = dF2/dP2

The maximum load is Ptotal = 1000 = P1 + P2 For minimum fuel cost, 0.008P1 + 8 = 0.009P2 + 6 0.008P1 + 8 = 0.009P2 + 6 (2) Solving ( for P1 and P2) yields P1 = 411.76MW and P2 = 588.24MW

129

A balanced three-phase short circuit) is an example of a symmetrical fault. Balanced three-phase fault calculations can be carried out on a per-phase basis, so that only singlephase equivalent circuits need be used in the analysis. Invariably, the circuit constants are expressed in per-unit terms, and all calculations are made on a per-unit basis.

133

In short-circuit calculations, we often evaluate the shortcircuit MVA (megavolt-amperes), which is equal to (3)VlIf, where Vl is the nominal line voltage in kilovolts, and If is the fault current in kiloamperes.

134

The symmetrical trace of a short-circuited stator-current shown, may be divided into three periods or time regimes: the subtransient period, lasting only for the first few cycles, during which the current decrement is very rapid; the transient period, covering a relatively longer time during which the current decrement is more moderate; and finally the steady-state period

Suppose now that a generator is loaded when a fault occurs. shows the corresponding equivalent circuit with the fault to occur at point P. The current flowing before the fault occurs is IL, the voltage at the fault is Vf, and the terminal voltage of the generator is Vt.

135

When a three-phase fault occurs at P, the circuit shown becomes the appropriate equivalent circuit (with switch S is closed).

Here a voltage Eg" in series with Xd" supplies the steady-state current IL when switch S is open, and supplies the current to the short circuit through Xd" and Zext when switch S is closed . If we can determine Eg", we can find this current through Xd", which will be i". With switch S open, we have Eg" = Vt + jILXd" ( which defines Eg", the subtransient internal voltage. Similarly, for the transient internal voltage we have Eg' = Vt + jILXd' Clearly Eg" and Eg' are dependent on the value of the load before the fault occurs

136

The figure shows the one-line diagram for a single phase of a system in which a generator supplies a load through a step-up transformer, a transmission line, and a stepdown transformer. Calculate the per-unit current. The transformers are ideal.

137

Because the voltage (and current) levels change across the transformers, different base voltages are involved at different parts of the system. At the generator, Vbase,gen = 480V = 1pu kVAbase,gen = 20kVA = 1pu Ibase,gen = 20,000/480 = 41.67A = 1pu Zbase,gen = 480/41.67 = 11.52W = 1pu Along the transmission line, Vbase,line = 480/0.5 = 960V = 1pu kVAbase,line = 20kVA = 1pu Ibase,line = 20,000/960 = 20.83A = 1pu Zbase,line = 960/20.83 = 46.08W = 1pu Zline = (1 + j3)/46.08 = (0.022 + j0.065)pu

At the load Vbase,load = 960/10 = 96V = 1pu kVAbase,load = 20kVA = 1pu Ibase,load = 20,000/96 = 208.3A = 1pu Zbase,load = 96/208.3 = 0.4608W = 1pu Zload = (2 + j5)/0.4608 = (4.34 + j10.85)pu The total impedance is then Ztotal = Zline + Zload = (0.022 + j0.065) + (4.34 + j10.85) = 4.362 + j10.915 = 11.7568 so that I = 1<0 /Ztotal = 1<0/11.75<68 = 0.085<68

The system shown in figure is initially on no load. Calculate the subtransient fault current that results when a three-phase fault occurs at F, given that the transformer voltage on the high-voltage side is 66kV.

Let the base voltage (on the high side) be 69kV, and the base kVA be 75MVA. Then, in per-unit terms we have, for generator G 1, X d = 0.25(75,000/50,000) = 0.375pu E G1 = 66/69 = 0.957pu For generator G2, X d = 0.25(75,000/25,000) = 0.750pu E G2= 66/69 = 0.957pu For the transformer, X = 0.10pu.

LESSON 9

Learning objectives
a. To conduct power system stability study on a power system

178

By the stability of a power system we mean the ability of the system to remain in operating equilibrium, or synchronism, while disturbances occur on the system. Three types of stability are of concern: steadystate, dynamic, and transient stability

Steady-state stability relates to the response of a synchronous machine to a gradually increasing load. Dynamic stability involves the response to small disturbances that occur in the system, producing oscillations. If these oscillations are of successively smaller amplitudes, the system is considered dynamically stable. If the oscillations grow in amplitude, the system is dynamically unstable. The source of this type of instability is usually an interaction between control systems. The systems response to the disturbance may not become apparent for some 10 to 30s.

179

Transient stability involves the response to large disturbances, which may cause rather large changes in rotor speeds, power angles, and power transfers. The systems response to such a disturbance is usually evident within 1s.

The angular momentum and initial constant play an important role in determining the stability of a synchronous machine. The per-unit inertia constant H is defined as the kinetic energy stored in the rotating parts of the machine at synchronous speed per unit megavoltampere (MVA) rating of the machine. Thus, if G is the MVA rating of the machine, then GH = Js2

180

where J is the polar moment of inertia of all rotating parts in kilogram-(meters-squared), and s is the angular synchronous velocity in electrical radians per second

If M is the corresponding angular momentum, then M = J s Since s = 360f electrical degrees per second, GH = M s = M(360)f or M = GH/180f MJ.s/electrical degree where f is the frequency of rotation.

181

speed s. If the input torque provided by the prime mover at the generator shaft is T i, then under steady-state conditions (with no disturbance) we have
Te = TI T e s = T i s T i s - T e s = P i Pe = 0

Consider a synchronous generator developing an electromagnetic torque T e (and a corresponding electromagnetic power P e) while operating at the synchronous

If a departure from steady state occurs, such as a change in load or a fault, the power in P i no longer equals the power out Pout, and if P i Pe = 0. Instead, an accelerating torque comes into play. If P a is the corresponding accelerating (or decelerating) power, then
Where Pa is in megawatts, and is the angular position of the rotor The per-unit swing equation is

182

An inertia constant H mach based on a machines own MVA rating may be converted to a value H syst relative to the system base S syst with the formula H syst = H mach (S mach /S syst) A convenient system base value is 100MVA. The moment of inertia of a synchronous machine is given by WR 2/32.2 slug-(feet-squared), where W is the weight of the rotating part of the machine in pounds, and R is its radius of gyration in feet. Machinery manufacturers generally supply the value of WR 2for their machines.

The swing equation may be written for two machines as

where the subscripts 1 and 2 correspond to machines 1 and 2, respectively. If we denote the relative angle between the two rotor axes by , such that = 1 - 2 , then

183

Algorithm for the Iterations

Critical Clearing Angle

If a disturbance (or fault) occurs in a system, begins to increase under the influence of positive accelerating power, and the system will become unstable if becomes very large. There is a critical angle within which the fault must be cleared if he system is to remain stable and the equal-area criterion is to be satisfied. This angle is known as the critical clearing angle c.

184

For example, consider a system that normally operates along curve A in Fig. If a threephase short circuit occurs across the line, its curve of power versus power angle will correspond to the horizontal axis. For stability, the critical clearing angle must be such that area A1 = area A2.

185

The inertia constant H for a 60Hz, 100MVA hydroelectric generator is 4.0MJ/MVA. How much kinetic energy is stored in the rotor at synchronous speed? If the input to the generator is suddenly increased by 20MVA, what acceleration is imparted to the rotor?

The energy stored in the rotor at synchronous speed is GH = 100 4 = 400MJ Using
M(d2/dt2) = Pi Pe = Pa

with Pa = 20MVA of accelerating power and with M = GH/180f = 400/(180 60) = 1/27 d2/dt2 = 20 27 = 540 /s2

187

A 500MVA synchronous machine has H1 = 4.6MJ/MVA, and a 1500MVA machine has H2 =3.0MJ/MVA. The two machines operate in parallel in a power station. What is the equivalent H constant for the two, relative to a 100MVA base?

The total kinetic energy of the two machines is KE = 4.6 600 + 3 1500 = 6800MJ Thus, the equivalent H relative to a 100MVA base is H = 6800/100 = 68MJ/MVA

188

A 100MVA, two-pole, 60Hz generator has a moment of inertia of 50 103kgm2. What is the energy stored in the rotor at the rated speed? What is the corresponding angular momentum? Determine the inertia constant H.

The stored energy is KE(stored) = Jm2 = (50 103)[(2 3600)/60] 2 = 3553MJ Then H = KE(stored)/MVA = 3553/100 = 35.53MJ/MVA M = GH/180f = (100)(35.53)/(180)(60) = 0.329MJ.rad/s

The kinetic energy stored in the rotor of a 50MVA, six-pole, 60Hz synchronous machine is 200MJ. The input to the machine is 25MW at a developed power of 22.5MW. Calculate the accelerating power and the acceleration

The accelerating power is Pa = Pi Pe = 25 22.5 = 2.5MW Now, also, H = KE(stored)/machine rating in MVA = 200/50 = 4 M = GH/180f = (50 4)/(180 60) = 0.0185MJ.s/degree = 1.06MJ.s/rad d2/dt2 = 2.5/10.06 = 2.356 rad/s2

190

If the acceleration of the machine of Question no 4 remains constant for ten cycles, what is the power angle at the end of the ten cycles?

d2/dt2 = 2.356. Integration with respect to t yields d/dt = 2.356t + C1 Since d/dt = 0 at t = 0, C1 = 0. A second integration now gives = 1.178t2 + C2 At t = 0, let =0 (the initial power angle). Then = 1.178t2 + 0 At 60Hz, the time required for ten cycles is t = 1/6 s. For this value of t, = 1.178(1/6)2 + 0 = (0.0327 + 0) rad

The generator of Question 4 has an internal voltage of 1.2 pu and is connected to an infinite bus operating at a voltage of 1.0pu through a 0.3pu reactance. A three-phase short circuit occurs on the line. Subsequently, circuit breakers operate and the reactance between the generator and the bus becomes 0.4pu. Calculate the critical clearing angle.

Before the fault, Pmax = (1.2 1.0)/0.3 = 4.0 pu During the fault, Pmax2 = 0 and k1 = 0 for use in . After the fault is cleared, Pmax3 = (1.2 1.0)/0.4 = 3.0pu and k2 = 3.0/4.0 for use in
