Representation of Power System Components
• A balanced three phase network is generally solved
as a single phase or per phase equivalent circuit.
• A power system is represented by one of three
phases and the neutral.
• The components such as generators, transformers
and loads are indicated by standard symbols.
• The diagram is further simplified by omitting the
neutral wire.
• Such a simplified diagram of an electrical system is
called single-line or one-line diagram.

• Information to be provided on single-line diagram
depends on type of analysis to be undertaken.
• Load Flow Analysis power generation, load
demand, line and transformer data.
• Transient stability studies additional details about
m/c parameters, location of CBs and relays, speed of

Per Unit Representation of Power System
Components
• Per Unit (pu) value of any quantity =
Actual value of the quantity
base or Reference value in the same unit
• In power system the quantities involved are like kVA,
kA, ohm. Their operation leads to very large figures,
difficult to handle.
• In equivalent ckt different sections are at different
voltages interconnected by transformers.
• So in power system analysis voltages, currents, kVA and
impedances/ reactances are expressed in per unit (pu) of
the base value.

Per Unit Representation of Power System
Components
• Advantages
1. Calculations Simplified.
2. Parameters tends to fall in relatively narrow range,
making the error conspicuous.
3. By Choosing the suitable base kVs for primary and
secondary ckt of transformer the pu reactance
remain the same for both sides.
• Drawbacks
1. Some equations that were true earlier get modified
in pu scheme. Factor √3 and 3 are added / removed.
2. Equivalent ckt becomes some what abstract.

Components
• Base values of variable are chosen so as to satisfy the
same kind of relation ship as the actual variables.
• Relation between the complex voltage V, complex
current I and complex impedance Z is V = IZ (1)

• Dividing (1) by (2) V = Z I Vpu = Z pu I pu
• Base Value Selection V base Z base I base

1. One common base volt-ampere is chosen for all part of the


system.
2. One base voltage is arbitrarily selected as base voltage.

Per Unit Representation of Power System
Components
• Base values of the system are so chosen that pu volt
and current of system are approximately unity.
• Base value of kVA is selected as the rating of the
largest unit.

FAULTS in an ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
• Fault is a defect in electric circuit due to which current
is diverted from the intended path.
• Short circuit currents are harmful because
Even a short time flow overheat the equipment.
The current flow produces forces of electro-dynamic
interaction which may damage the equipment.
• Relative Probability of occurrence of faults
Single line to ground fault 70%
Phase to phase fault 15%
Two phase to ground fault 10%
Phase to phase & third phase to ground 2/3%
All three phase shorted 2/3%
All three phase shorted to ground 2/3%

SYMMETRICAL FAULTS in POWER SYSTEM
• NUMERICAL
• Two generators A and B are identical and are rated
at 11kV and 10MVA and have a transient reactance
of 20% at their own MVA base. Two transformers
T1 and T2 are also identical and are rated 5MVA,
11/66 kV and have a reactance of 5% at their own
MVA base. The tie line is 100km long and has a
reactance of 0.1Ω /km. A 3 phase fault occurs at a
distance of 25km from one end of the line when the
system is on no load but at rated voltage. Determine
fault MVA and Fault current.
2/5/2015 Power System II Dr. Ambarnath Banerji 17
CURRENT LIMITING REACTORS
• Reactors used for limiting S/C current during fault
condition especially when system extended by
connection to grid.
• The reactors allow free interchange of power during
normal conditions but under short ckt.
disturbance limited to the faulty section.
• As resistance of the reactor is small, efficiency of
system is not affected.
• Connected at strategic locations so that fault current
is limited to less than breaking capacity of the circuit
breaker.
2/5/2015 Power System II Dr. Ambarnath Banerji 18
CURRENT LIMITING REACTORS
• They are used to reduce the magnitude of the
voltage disturbances caused by short circuit.
• Localize the fault by limiting the current that flows
into the fault from other healthy feeders. Thus
avoids spreading of the fault.
• Cost off set by saving in CB cost.
DRAWBACKS
1. Total percentage reactance increased.
2. More reactive volt drop and decrease in pf.
3. Poor Regulation.
2/5/2015 Power System II Dr. Ambarnath Banerji 19
CURRENT LIMITING REACTORS
GENERATOR REACTOR
• Reactors inserted between the generator and
generator bus.
• Modern m/c have more transient reactance to protect
against 3- ph short ckt. at its terminal.
FEEDER REACTOR
• Reactor in series with feeder.
BUS BAR REACTOR

SYMMETRICAL COMPONENT
• PHASE OPERATOR ‘a’
i 2π 3
• Defined as a = − 0.5 + j 0 .866 = e
• It means the phasor ‘a’ has unit length and is
oriented 120° ( 2π 3 radians) in the positive (counter
clockwise) direction from reference axis.
• Thus a phasor operated upon by ‘a’ is not changed in
magnitude but is simply rotated in position by 120°
in the forward direction.
a 2 = (e j2π 3 ) 2 = e j4π 3 = e − j2π 3 = −0.5 − j0.866

UNSYMMETRICAL FAULTS in POWER SYSTEM
• Simple single phase representation is not valid and
analysis is to be carried out on a 3 phase basis which
is difficult.
• C.L. Fortesque in 1918 proposed the method of
Symmetrical Components.
• An unbalanced 3 phase system of impedances may
be resolved into three equivalent single phase
systems having independent impedance parameters.
• The three independent impedance systems may be
connected and constrained to represent all types of
fault conditions.

• The phase sequence is ‘acb’ i.e. Vc lags Va by 120°
and Vb lags Vc by 120°.

• The three pasors can be represented in terms of the

• A set of three phasors equal in magnitude and having
same phase.
• Va0 ; Vbo=Va0 ; Vc0= Va0.
• According to Fortesque’s theorem the three unbalanced
phasors can be expressed as sum of the Positive,
Negative and zero sequence phasors.
• Va = Va1 + Va2 + Va0
• Vb = Vb1 + Vb2 + Vb0
• Vc = Vc1 + Vc2 + Vc0
• Three phasor sequence (positive, Negative & zero) are
called SYMMETRICAL COMPONENTS of the
original unbalanced phasor Va, Vb , Vc.

SYMMETRICAL COMPONENT
• Sum of the three line voltages will always be zero.
Therefore zero sequence component of line voltage
1
is always zero. Vab 0 = ( Vab + Vbc + Vca ) = 0

• Sum of the phase voltages may not be zero. So their
zero sequence component may exist. Va 0 ≠ 0
• Sum of three line currents equals the current in the
1 1
neutral wire I a 0 = ( I a + I b + I c ) = I n
3 3
• So current in the neutral wire is three times the zero
sequence line current.
• In the absence of the neutral connection the zero
sequence line current is always zero I a 0 = 1 I n = 0

COUPLING BETWEEN SEQUENCE CURRENTS
• The analysis of balance system on per phase basis
was possible because of zero coupling between the

SEQUENCE IMPEDANCE of TRANSMISSION LINE
• Thus we can conclude
1. Equal positive and negative sequence impedance.
2. Impedance matrix has non zero elements appearing only
on the principle diagonal. Thus the three sequence
impedances are independent of each other.
3. The current of each phase sequence will produce voltage
drop of the same phase sequence only i.e. elements
posses only self impedance to sequence current.
4. For finding a particular sequence impedance the element
in question is subjected to currents and voltages of that
sequence only.
2/5/2015 Power System II Dr. Ambarnath Banerji 35
SEQUENCE IMPEDANCE of TRANSMISSION LINE
• Zero sequence impedance is much larger than the
positive ( or Negative ) sequence impedance.

2/5/2015 Power System II Dr. Ambarnath Banerji 36


SEQUENCE IMPEDANCE & NETWORKS of
SYNCHRONOUS M/C
• Unloaded synchronous m/c( generators and motors)
grounded through a reactor (impedance Zn). Ea, Eb,
and Ec are induced emfs of the three phases.

2/5/2015 Power System II Dr. Ambarnath Banerji 37


SEQUENCE IMPEDANCE of TRANSFORMER
• Positive sequence series impedance equals its
Leakage Impedance.
• Since the transformer is a static device, the leakage
impedance does not change with the alteration of the
phase sequence.
• Thus Z1 = Z2 = Zleakage
• Depending on type of transformer the zero sequence
impedance may vary slightly from +ve and –ve
sequence impedances.
• However the normal practice is to assume that the
series impedances of all sequences are equal.
• Z1 = Z2 = Z0
2/5/2015 Power System II Dr. Ambarnath Banerji 38
SEQUENCE IMPEDANCE of TRANSFORMER
• POINTS to NOTE
1. Magnetizing current neglected. Transformer primary
carry current only if current flows in the secondary.
2. Zero sequence currents can flow in the legs of a star
connection only if the star point is grounded and provide
necessary return path for zero sequence current.
3. No zero sequence current can flow in the lines connected
to a delta connection as no return path is available for
these currents. Zero sequence current can, however, flow
in the legs of delta(phases) such currents are caused
by presence of zero sequence voltage in the delta
connection.
2/5/2015 Power System II Dr. Ambarnath Banerji 39
SEQUENCE IMPEDANCE of TRANSFORMER
• CASE1: Y Y Transformer one neutral grounded.

• If any one of the two neutrals of a Y Y


transformer is ungrounded, zero sequence current
cannot flow in the ungrounded star and
consequently, these cannot flow in the grounded star.
Hence, an open circuit exist in the zero sequence
network between H & L.
2/5/2015 Power System II Dr. Ambarnath Banerji 40
SEQUENCE IMPEDANCE of TRANSFORMER
• CASE 2: Y Y transformer both neutral grounded.
• A path through the transformer exist for zero
sequence current in both winding via two grounded
neutral.

2/5/2015 Power System II Dr. Ambarnath Banerji 41


SEQUENCE IMPEDANCE of TRANSFORMER
• CASE 3 : Y ∆ Transformer with grounded Y

• Zero sequence current can flow in the star because a


path is available to ground and balancing zero
sequence current can flow in delta, but no zero
sequence current can flow in the line on delta side.
• Thus the zero sequence network must have a path
from the line ‘H’ on the star side through the zero
sequence impedance to the reference bus, while an
open circuit must exist on the ‘L’ side of Delta.
2/5/2015 Power System II Dr. Ambarnath Banerji 42
SEQUENCE IMPEDANCE of TRANSFORMER
• CASE 4 : Y ∆ Transformer with ungrounded Y

• It can be assumed as neutral connected to ground (or


reference bus) through Zn = infinity. So no zero
sequence current can flow in Y side.

2/5/2015 Power System II Dr. Ambarnath Banerji 43


SEQUENCE IMPEDANCE of TRANSFORMER
• CASE 5 : ∆ ∆ Transformer

• Since a delta circuit provides no return path, the zero


sequence current can not flow in – out of the ∆ ∆
Transformer. However it can circulate in the delta
winding.
• Therefore there is an open circuit between ‘H’ and
‘L’ and Z0 is connected to the reference bus on both
ends to account for the circulating zero sequence
current.
2/5/2015 Power System II Dr. Ambarnath Banerji 44
FORMATION OF SEQUENCE NETWORK for POWER SYSTEM

• Sequence networks are useful for computing


unsymmetrical faults at different points of power
system.
• Positive sequence network can be drawn from one
line diagram of power system. Single line reactance
diagram, as employed for symmetrical fault current,
is the positive sequence diagram of the power
system.
• Negative sequence network is similar to positive
sequence network. Rotating m/c have different
negative sequence impedances. No voltage source.
2/5/2015 Power System II Dr. Ambarnath Banerji 45
FORMATION OF SEQUENCE NETWORK for POWER SYSTEM

• The reference bus for the positive and negative


sequence networks is the system neutral.
• Any impedance connected between neutral and ground
is not included in the positive and negative sequence
networks as neither of these sequences currents can
flow through such an impedance.
• Zero sequence sub-networks of different components of
the power system are combined to form the zero
sequence network of the system. Any impedance
included in generator or transformer neutral becomes
three times its value in a zero sequence network.
2/5/2015 Power System II Dr. Ambarnath Banerji 46
PROCEDURE FOR FAULT CALCULATION
Draw sequence impedance diagrams by inspection
of the single line diagram of the power system.
Zero sequence impedance diagram is required to be
drawn only if there is an earth fault.
Set the values of the sequence impedances in each
network.
The point where a fault is assumed to occur is
marked ‘F’ on the single line diagram.
Each of the networks can be replaced by its
thevenin equivalent between the two terminals
composed of its reference bus and the point of
occurrence of fault.
2/5/2015 Power System II Dr. Ambarnath Banerji 47
PROCEDURE FOR FAULT CALCULATION
The Thevenin equivalent circuit is prepared.
Reduce the networks into their equivalent
impedances Z1, Z2 and Z0.
Depending on the type of the fault connect the
equivalent network.
Obtain the sequence components of the current and
voltages.
Obtain the currents in different phases from
sequence components of currents.
Phase voltages can be obtained from knowledge of
impedances and sequence currents.

• Further Va = Va1 + Va 2 + Va 0 = I a Zf = (3I a1 )Zf

Ia0 = 0 there is no connection to the zero sequence
network.
