Taking into consideration the load allocated above, select appropriate transmission line
voltage ratings, MVA ratings, and distances necessary to supply these loads. Then
determine the per unit transmission line impedances for the lines shown on the single-line
diagram. Show your calculations.
Select appropriate transformer voltage and MVA ratings, and determine the per unit
transformer leakage impedances for the transformers shown on the single-line diagram.
Develop a generation schedule for the 4 generator buses.
Show on a copy of the single-line diagram in per unit the line impedances, transformer
impedances, generator outputs, and loads that you have selected above.
Using the power flow program, run a base-case power flow. In addition, to the printed
input/output data files, show on a separate copy of the single-line diagram the per unit
bus voltages as well as real and reactive line flows, generator outputs, and loads. Flag
any high/low bus voltages for which 0.95 <= V <= 1.05 pu is violated, and any lines or
transformer flows that exceed normal ratings.
If the base case shows any high/low voltages or ratings exceeded, then correct the base
case by making changes. Explain the changes you have made.
Repeat the power flow program step above. Rerun the power flow program and show
your changes on a separate copy of the single-line diagram.
Provide a typed report and summary of your results along with your calculations for the
work above, the printed power flow input/output data, and copies of the single-line
diagram. The report is to be in standard professional engineering format.
Graduate Students:
After completing the above tasks, select one of the two following activities.
Select three buses on the system, and conduct a fault analysis for each of the buses. In
the analysis, consider the four different types of faults that could happen. Determine the
fault current contribution in each transmission line or transformer to the bus fault.
Conduct an economic dispatch study on the system. Determine the loss coefficients.
Does the dispatch violate any of the line or transformer limitations.
