 ELECTRICAL POWER SYSTEM

The generation of electrical energy (by converting other naturally available forms
of energy), controlling of electrical energy, transmission of energy over long
distances to different load centers, and distribution and utilization of electrical
energy together is called an electrical power system.

 ELECTRICAL POWER SYSTEM

Challenge

- Electrical energy cannot be stored economically and

- the electric utility can exercise little control over the load
demand (power) at any time.

- The power system must, therefore, be capable of matching

the output from the generators to demand at any time at
specified voltage and frequency.
 ELECTRICAL POWER SYSTEM

POWER SYSTEM….Large and Complex

Constant increase in electrical energy demand results……

More and more
- generating units,
- the transmission lines
- Distribution network
- Necessary controlling and protective circuits
…..make the power system a large complex system.

Hence highly trained engineers are needed to develop

and implement the advances of technology for planning,
operation and control of power systems.
 The objective of the Course

To present methods of analysis with respect to the planning

and expansion, operation and control of power systems, which
involves…..

Modeling (representation of the system suitable for analysis)

Load flow studies
Fault calculations
Protective schemes
Stability studies.
 The objective of the Course

System modeling relates to representation of the system

suitable for analysis. It includes one line diagram, impedance
diagram, reactance diagram, per unit quantities, per unit
impedance diagram, formation of bus admittance &
impedance matrices

Load flow analysis is the determination of the voltage, current,

real and reactive powers at various points in the power
network under normal operating conditions.
 The objective of the Course
A fault in a power network is any failure which interferes with
the normal operation of the system. Fault calculations or Fault
analysis consist of determining the fault currents for various
types of faults at various points of the network.

Faults can be very destructive to power systems. System

protection schemes are therefore be evolved and
implemented for the reliability and safety of power systems.
(included in the course EEE 471 – Switchgear and Protection)

Stability analysis deals with the determination of the effects of

disturbances on power systems. The disturbance may vary
from the usual fluctuation of the load to severe fault causing
the loss of an important transmission line.

shunt admittance is usually omitted in the equivalent

Loads with no rotating parts are usually omitted.

Impedance Diagram  Reactance Diagram

Synchronous motor loads are always included in making

fault calculations since their generated emfs
contribute to the short circuit current.

Induction motor is taken into account (an emf with an

inductive reactance) if the diagram is to be used to
determine the current immediately after the occurrence
of a fault.

Here the multiplying factor is the square of the ratio of line-to-line voltages and not

Conclusion:
To transfer the ohmic value of impedance from the voltage level on one side of a 3-
transformer to the voltage level on the other, the multiplying factor is the square of
the ratio of line-to-line voltages regardless of whether the transformer connection is
Y-Y or Y-.
 Per Unit Values in Three-Phase System
The per-unit value of a line-to-neutral voltage on the line-to-neutral voltage base
is equal to the per-unit value of the line-to-line voltage at the same point on the
line-to-line voltage base if the system is balanced.

The per-unit value of the three-phase kilovoltamperes on the three-phase

kilovoltampere base is identical to the per-unit value of the kilovoltamperes per
phase on the kilovoltampere-per-phase base.

 Per Unit Impedances of Three-Winding
Transformers

Three impedances may be measured by the standard short-

circuit test, as follows:

Zps leakage impedance measured in primary with

secondary short-circuited and tertiary open

Zpt leakage impedance measured in primary with tertiary

short-circuited and secondary open

Zst leakage impedance measured in secondary with

tertiary short-circuited and primary open
 Per Unit Impedances of Three-Winding
Transformers
If the three impedances measured in ohms, are referred to
the voltage of one of the windings, the impedances of each
separate winding referred to that same winding are related
to the measured impedances so referred as follows:
Z ps  Z p  Z s
Z pt  Z p  Z t
Z st  Z s  Z t

Here Zp, Zs and Zt are the impedances of the primary,

secondary, and tertiary windings, respectively, referred to the
primary circuit if Zps, Zpt and Zst are the measured impedances
referred to the primary circuit.

 Advantages of Per Unit System

 Gives a clear idea of relative magnitudes of various quantities

Nominal voltage of the grid= 400 kV

Bus voltage = 372.03 (0.93 p.u.)

the voltage lies 7% below nominal value.

 Equipments of different ratings are more manageable and easy to compare.

Current values of two transformers (with different nominal currents )

i1 = 0.98 p.u.
i2 = 0.35 p.u.

T1 operating close to its loading limit

T2 is far off its limit.
 Advantages of Per Unit System

 p.u. impedance fall in a narrow range

 The p.u. z, v, i of transformers are the same regardless of whether they are
referred to the primary or the secondary side.
• Different voltage levels disappear across the entire system.
• The system reduces to a system of simple impedances.

 Ideal for the computerized analysis and simulation of complex problems.

 The circuit laws are valid in p.u. systems, and equations are simplified.
(the factors of 3 and 3 are) eliminated

Advantages of tertiary winding:

1. It reduces the unbalancing in the primary due to

unbalancing in three phase load.

2. It redistributes the flow of fault current.

3. Sometime it is required to supply an auxiliary load in

different voltage level in addition to its main secondary
load. This secondary load can be taken from tertiary
winding of three winding transformer.

4. As the tertiary winding is connected in delta formation in 3

winding transformer, it assists in limitation of fault current
in the event of a short circuit from line to neutral.
