Question 2

Figure 2 shows the circuit of a simple power system. The ratings of the generators, transformers, and motors are as shown in the figure. The reactance of lines 1 and 2 is 40 W and 50 W respectively. Assume that system is unloaded, and the generators are generating their rated voltage. Select the generator G₁ ratings as base values.

Choose the fault location for your calculations based on the last digit of your student number as indicated in the following table:

For asymmetrical three-phase fault on the bus selected by you:

(i) Draw the reactance diagram for the fault with all the reactances marked in per unit.

(ii)  Determine Thevenin’s equivalent circuit which can be used to calculate the fault current.

(iii)Calculate the fault current in ampere and fault power in MVA.

(iv)  Calculate the fault current contribution from the generator connected to the bus on which you have selected for fault calculation.

Question 3

A four-bus power system is shown in Figure 3. Bus-1 is a slack bus. Bus -4 is a PV buss, and the other two buses are PQ buses. The initial voltages of the slack and PV buses are as shown in the figure. The data for the buses are given in table-1 below. The values of the real and reactive power shown in the table are on a base of 100 MVA.

The line impedances in per unit and real and reactive power in per unit are on a common base. Assume the initial value of the angle at the PV bus to bezero (0) and the voltages at buses 2 and 3 to be 1.0 .

Table-1    Base MVA=100

Choose the line impedances for your calculations based on the last digit of your student number as indicated in the following table:

(a) Create the circuit, in “PowerWorld” software. Assume a base power of 100 MVA. All the field values such as voltage and phase angle at every bus and real and reactive power at both ends of every line must be included in the circuit. The created circuit diagram(before simulation) must be included in your report.

(b) Simulate the circuit using the Gauss-Seidel iterative method for a single iteration.Record the values of the voltage magnitudes in pu and phase angle in degrees at buses 2,3 and 4. The simulated diagram with all the field values clearly shown must be included in your report.

(c)        Calculate the bus admittance matrix for the circuit using the impedance values given in the table. Print out the bus impedance matrix generated by the PowerWorldprogramand compares it with the bus impedance matrix calculated by you.

(d)Calculate the voltage in pu and the phase angle in degrees at bus 2 and 3 after the first iteration using the Gauss-Seidel method and compare it with the results recorded in part (b)
